Hello, My name is Danielle Wallis and Im currently working with the University of Southern California on a video-based autism resource, interactingwithautism. I wanted to let you know about it in hopes that you might be willing to share it with the Aperger Womens Association community. The site presents the most current, evidence-based treatment information to parents, educators, health care workers, and those on the spectrum. It was developed collaboratively by Academy award-winning filmmaker Mark Jonathan Harris, USC university professor Marsha Kinder, and multimedia designer Scott Mahoy, working with the nations leading autism experts as consultants. Based on an exhaustive review of the last decade’s scientific and treatment research, it uses case histories, animation, and documentary vignettes to provide information about autism and insight into how different families cope with it. You may have seen our Sensory Overload video, which was featured on everything from NPR to Andrew Sullivan’s The Dish. The site’s unique format provides a dynamic environment for exploration, more so than a typical text-based, didactic site. It also presents a searchable video database with over 10 hours of interviews and a section showing how autism is being represented in popular culture. The 30 full-screen videos examine a range of topics, including causes, diagnosis, treatment, education and advocacy and present a variety of perspectives--people on the spectrum, parents, and leading researchers and therapists in the field. It welcomes comments and discussion, and allows for users to post videos. Our goal now is to invigorate the site with the interaction that it was designed for by reaching out to organizations like yours. Perhaps youd be willing to post a link to our site or one of out videos like this one, interactingwithautism/section/living/rubin? All of our content is free and we are happy to share it. Please let us know if youd like more information or if you have any questions about the site. Best Regards, Danielle Wallis On behalf of USCs Interacting With Autism Project
