All About Autism

Hi blokus,
Think the workshop helped in a way or two. He was more conscious about eye contact and being more expressive. Btw, learnt that his poor eye contact could be that he is an introvert, has low self esteem and dare not look at strangers in the face. We now give him more encouragement or praises. -

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognising and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder (Carol Krawnowitz) - this is often the usual first stop for parents, specifically for SPD.
The Mislabelled Child (Brock Eide; Fernette Eide) - covers an array of conditions and labels, and how one may be mistaken for another. Useful checklists, examples, recommendations, and further resources. The Eides are very well regarded and their services are expensive. This book is very generous in the wealth of information it contains. -
Thanks slmkhoo for yr advise . I will practise what u done before . Sound real helpful.

Thanks ammonite for the information. Actually I have not read up a lot specifically on sensory processing except where they appear in general references on autism. Its only recently where my doter's OT administered a test on her sensory profile and evaluated that she could have some sensory processing issues that I am beginning to take note.

Truth be told, I find sensory processing issues very difficult concepts to understand even for myself. So even though the OT has recommended certain strategies, I am not able to comprehend how they can help in her sensory processing. So that's why scrambling now to find materials to read up.
Carol Stock Karownowitz seems to be THE recommendation in this area cos I went to a few sources for recommendations and this name keeps popping up. She has a series of books on this which are available in NLB.
Hopefully wont drown in the reading materials ....

Ya, she is THE recommended name in this area because she is the pioneer in this field. Don't worry, when I first read my son's report years back I have no idea what it all meant. Catch no ball! I was skeptical too. But in the years since, I can see the diagnoses being played out and it was enlightening to reread the books every now and then. Once you have an idea of your child's main areas of sensory challenge, you can work with your child and the teacher on how to cope better with the school environment.
