Autism Society of America Outstanding Literary Works of the Year

The Autism Society of America just held their national conference in Orlando, Fl the week of July 7th-July 12, 2008. Our own Jessica Champion represented the Autism Society of NC Bookstore at the event. As a vendor, she was able to sell some books and more importantly spread the word about the largest non-profit autism specific bookstore in America.

Every year at the ASA's national conference they announce the winners of the Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award in two divisions, the first is Family/Social and the second is Education. The ASA feels that these titles have made a significant contribution to the broader autism community.
Winner of the 2008 Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award in the Family/Social division is A Five is Against the Law! Social Boundaries Straight Up!



Winner of the 2008 Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award in the Education division is The Ziggurat Model: A Framework for Designing Comprehensive Interventions for Individuals with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Both of these titles can be found, along with book reviews written by our staff on our website:www.autismbookstore.com
Please support your non-profit ASNC bookstore which supports the autism community in North Carolina.

Google's Project Spectrum

Upon seeing Google's name on the list of vendor's for ASA's 39th Annual Conference on Autism Spectrum Disorders, I became curious about just what Google's affiliation to the autism community could be. Ironically, I began my research by "Googling" the terms "Google" and "Autism." The second link on page one of my search results answered my question and gave me a new found respect for the good people at Google. Click here to see how Google SketchUp, free 3D design software is helping kids with autism to express themselves and have fun while doing it. I recommend watching the video to see examples of houses designed by kids on the spectrum.

If you will be in Orlando for the ASA conference be sure to stop by the ASNC Bookstore booth (209) to say hello and check out our selection of informative and valuable ASD resources.
