Autism and the Environment: Challenges and Opportunities for Research Workshop Proceedings. Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, $87.50
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) constitute a major public health problem, affecting one in every 150 children and their families. Unfortunately, there is little understanding of the causes of ASD, and, despite their broad societal impact, many people believe that the overall research program for autism is incomplete, particularly as it relates to the role of environmental factors.
The Institute of Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, in response to a request from the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, hosted a workshop called "Autism and the Environment: Challenges and Opportunities for Research." The focus was on improving the understanding of the ways in which environmental factors such as chemicals, infectious agents, or physiological or psychological stress can affect the development of the brain.
Autism and the Environment documents the concerted effort which brought together the key public and private stakeholders to discuss potential ways to improve the understanding of the ways that environmental factors may affect ASD. The presentations and discussions from the workshop that are described in this book identify a number of promising directions for research on the possible role of different environmental agents in the etiology of autism. |

Callesen, Annette Møller Nielsen & Tony Attwood, $236.95
Years in the making, The Cognitive
Affective Training (CAT) Kit is a program that consists of
visual, interactive, and customizable communication elements for
children and young adults. It is designed to help students become
aware of how their thoughts, feelings and actions all interact.
In the process of using the various visual components, they share
their insights with others. It is an easy and effective way to work
with neurotypical children and young adults as well as with people
with developmental disabilities.
The CAT-kit has proven valuable
in a variety of environments:
- Parents report that the materials
are excellent resources in conflict resolution among siblings,
and for clarifying differing perspectives between age groups.
The uncomplicated design and situation-specific uses of the kit
will simplify day-to-day conversation and allow parents to deal
with displays of emotion or misconceptions that ordinarily would
be difficult to manage.
- Teachers and counselors appreciate
the CAT-kit for its visual and concrete design. The kit
attracts students’ attention and encourages them to talk about
their thoughts and emotions in a non-defensive manner. Children
are able to communicate their attitudes and emotions by means
of the visual aids and are not inhibited by their lack of exact
wordings.
- Therapists and other professionals
consider the CAT-kit an easy, hands-on adaptation of
the cognitive-behavioral strategies they are already familiar
with. The kit allows professionals to obtain valuable information
regarding the thoughts and feelings that exist behind students’
behaviours, while providing a non-stressful environment where
professionals can work on students’ self-awareness and self-control.
The CAT-kit elements can easily be integrated into comprehensive
CBT programs.

by Sally J. Rogers and Justin H. G. Williams, $76.95
“From earliest infancy, a typically developing

range of disciplines, this important book examines the role of imitation
in both autism and typical development. Topics include the neural
and evolutionary bases of imitation, its pivotal connections to
language development and relationships, and how early imitative
deficits in autism might help explain the more overt social and
