Asperger’s Syndrome: Crossing the Bridge
Michael Thompson Productions. The video Crossing the Bridge is a recording of a discussion between myself and Liane Holliday Willey about Asperger’s Syndrome, and in particular, the strategies that she used to achieve her remarkable level of success. This video is particularly valuable for families and as a resource to help explain the nature of Asperger’s Syndrome to young adults and especially girls.
The new distributor for the video is Starfish Press and their web address is www.starfishpress.com.
The video has received extremely favourable comments from parents and individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome. Examples include:
“I really needed to watch another person with AS and hear that person say the very things I knew were true for me.”
“I told him to listen to what you were saying, and then he would be able to understand what the reports meant.”
“It was funny, inspiring, thoughtful and enjoyable. My husband is most likely a “residual” aspie, and I have encouraged him to watch it.”
“We saw Liane at the most recent AANE conference. She was great. It’s funny, but Tony, Liane, Carol and others seem like old friends, though we’ve never met. They just know.”
The video was made by Michael Thompson Productions, who are developing a catalogue of videos on Asperger’s Syndrome.
Ask Me About Asperger’s Syndrome is an excellent video for parents, teachers and therapists of children at elementary and junior high school. Professionals and parents describe the abilities of students with Asperger’s Syndrome and make practical suggestions to help acquire specific skills.
Social Language Groups describes the role of the speech and language pathologist in working with children diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome.
