Adolescence

Talking Teenagers
Boushey, A
Living with ASD: Adolescence
and Beyond
Autism Ontario
Talking Teenagers covers everyday
topics and explores the challenges
of parenting across the spectrum
during the teenage years. Parents
will come away with a sense
of empowerment and feeling
that they are not alone, while
professionals will gain a valuable
and compassionate insight into the
world of parenting a teenager on the
autism spectrum.
This adult manual is the result of a
collaborative effort of individuals
with ASD, parents, and professionals
working in the autism field. It covers
a gamut of topics addressing the
basic question of “what is autism?”
to complex issues such as sexuality,
dual diagnosis, transitions, future
planning, and Living options. It
depicts a panoramic picture of
the needs and challenges of adults
with ASD vis-à-vis the resources
and service delivery infrastructure
available in their communities. Most
importantly, it also tells stories of
triumphs and hopes by individuals
with ASD, by the people who love
and work with them, and by the
communities that endeavoured
to develop programs and services
to encourage independence and
inclusion.

Based on years of work with parents,
the book offers an easy-to-read,
explicit program for teaching
children with special needs the skills
that will help them progress toward
Living as independently and happily
as possible in the community
Comic Strip Conversations
Gray, C

Carol Gray combines stick-figures
with “conversation symbols” to
illustrate what people say and think
during conversations. Showing what
people are thinking reinforces that
others have independent thoughts
- a concept spectrum children don’t
intuitively understand. Children
can also recognize that, although
people say one thing, they may think
something quite different - another
concept foreign to “concretethinking” children. Children can
draw their own “comic strips” to
show what they are thinking and
feeling about events or people.
Different colors can represent
different states of mind. These
deceptively simple comic strips can
reveal as well as convey quite a lot of
substantive information.

Autism-Asperger’s & Sexuality
Newport, J

an intimate knowledge of children
like Seb and the way she describes
his feelings and actions will strike
chords with parents, social workers,
care workers and teachers...I think
that it could be useful for schools
where staff could use it in class as
a vehicle for exploring diversity
and difference. It could also be
reassuring for some families trying
to understand the dilemmas of
Living with Asperger’s.’
Autism-Asperger's & Sexuality is a
groundbreaking, personal look at the

result is often explosive. Luke writes
briefly about his younger autistic and
AD/HD brothers, providing amusing
insights into the antics of his

Autism Through a Sister’s Eye
Band, EB

“Twelve-year-old Catherine just
wants a normal life. Which is near
impossible when you have a brother
with autism and a family that
revolves around his disability. She's
spent years trying to teach David
the rules-from "a peach is not a
funny-looking apple" to "keep your
pants on in public" in order to stop
his embarrassing behaviors. But the
summer Catherine meets Jason, a
paraplegic boy, and Kristi, the nextdoor friend she's always wished for,
it's her own shocking behavior that
turns everything upside down and
forces her to ask: What is normal?”
