What do Autism and Asperger Syndrome look like?
If you have Asperger Syndrome or autism, or support someone who does, you need someone in your corner. That's us. Our site features videos, articles and other resources to help people with Asperger Syndrome and autism deal with the world — and to help others in the world understand and appreciate them. We focus on practical supports and solutions. The son in our family business was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in 1997. The mom is the one who suggested in 2000 that we apply what we'd learned and build on it to produce Asperger Syndrome and autism DVDs. The dad has an extensive background in broadcasting and public relations and was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome himself in 2009. We created this site to share what's worked for us and many others. So browse away. We've got your back.

Asperger Syndrome: Success in the Mainstream Classroom - DVD
You'll see interviews with psychologist Dr. Jed Baker, parents, regular and special education teachers, an instructional aide and a case manager/social worker -- all describing specific steps that have worked for them in guiding and teaching children with AS in middle school through high school classes.
You can think of this as "Asperger Syndrome 101." At 44 minutes, it's the perfect length to view during an available class period (or to use as a teacher in-service program) and it points the way toward other resources to help generate continued success.
