What are the motivations and desires behind relationship choices
and sexual behaviour? Are they very different for those with
Asperger Syndrome (AS) than for anyone else? Does having extreme
sensitivity to physical touch or an above average need for solitude
change one's expectation of relationships or sexual experience?
Many people on the autism spectrum have limited knowledge of how to
establish or conduct sexual relationships: drawing on extensive
research with people on the autism spectrum, the book openly
explores such questions. For the first time people with AS discuss
their desires, needs and preferences in their own words. AS
attitudes to issues such as gender, sexual identity and infidelity
are included, as well as positive advice for developing
relationships and exploring options and choices for sexual
pleasure. This accessible book is an invaluable source of
information and support for those with Asperger Syndrome and
couples in which one or both partners has Asperger Syndrome, as
well as counsellors and health and social care professionals.
Many teenagers with Asperger's Syndrome leave school feeling unsure
of how to take the next steps in their lives. Leaving the comforts
of home and facing the unknown can be daunting, but with the right
support and advice these young adults can adapt and enjoy their
newly-acquired independence. Filled with useful advice,
easy-to-apply techniques, and insights from both the author's own
experiences of Asperger's Syndrome and those of his students, this
book is a practical guide for helping young adults on the spectrum
achieve independence and learn life-long skills of self-knowledge,
self-sufficiency, and self-advocacy. With chapters on social
skills, handling finances, keeping healthy, and succeeding in
higher education or first employment, Dr. McManmon provides the
encouragement that any young Aspie needs to make the transition
from an adolescent into a happy, confident and engaged adult. This
book will be essential reading for parents, young adults with
Asperger's Syndrome, high-functioning autism or learning
differences, and any professionals who work with them.
An updated edition of Shore's groundbreaking book, now with
previously unpublished photographs and a new introduction Stephen
Shore's images from his travels across America in 1972-73 are
considered the benchmark for documenting the extraordinary in the
ordinary and continue to influence photographers today. The
original edition of American Surfaces, published by Phaidon in
2005, brought together 320 photographs sequenced in the order in
which they were originally documented. Now, in the age of Instagram
and nearly 50 years after Shore embarked on his cross-country
journey, this revised and expanded edition will bring this seminal
work back into focus.
Advocacy skills must be taught because they are essential to life
success. Learn from people with ASD on how to teach these skills!
Edited by Stephen Shore, Ask and Tell: Self-Advocacy and Disclosure
for People on the Autism Spectrum helps people with autism
effectively self-advocate in their pursuit of independent,
productive, and fulfilling lives. Ask and Tell is unique in that
it'ss the first book to speak to the twin issues of self-advocacy
and disclosure for people with autism. This book also discusses how
advocacy begins in preschool and extends throughout the lifespan
with meaningful examples, such as showing how people with autism
have great value to society. It is written and illustrated entirely
by individuals with ASD, including a preface by Temple Grandin.
Overall, successful self-advocacy involves a degree of disclosure
about oneself that often carries some degree of risk in an effort
to reach the goal of better mutual understanding. Ask and Tell
offers countless practical ideas and advice adjusted for different
personalities and personal preferences, and always backed by the
real life experiences.
A powerful and haunting visual record, Stephen Shore's portraits
highlight the resilience and hope of Ukraine's Holocaust survivors.
Stephen Shore, one of the most influential photographers living
today, traveled to the Ukraine in 2012 and again in 2013, just
prior to the current political upheaval, to visit 35 survivors,
most of whom are women. In the photographs of the survivors and
their homes, Shore visually explores their collective experience as
seen through quotidian details, and leaves open the question as to
how the history of the Holocaust informs the viewer's reception of
the portraits. The book's 200 digital color photographs are
organized to create intimate portraits of their individual and
collective experiences whilst maintaining the unsentimental formal
order of his photography. An essay by Jane Kramer, who has written
The New Yorker's Letter from Europe since 1981, will situate the
survivors and their stories in the historical context of Ukraine's
modern history with a particular emphasis in the place of Jews
within that history. An important cultural document, Survivors in
Ukraine sits between the traditions of the diaristic colour
photobook that Shore himself pioneered with Uncommon Places (1982)
and American Surfaces (2005), and that of the 'concerned'
photographer using the camera as witness to conflict and other
historic events.
Stephen Shore is a pioneering photographer and influential teacher.
From Galilee to the Negev is an intimate portrait of a
multi-faceted place, exploring the landscape of Israel and the
Palestinian territories of the West Bank; its complexities and its
contradictions. Shore travelled the length and breadth of the
region, questioning and revealing through his camera lens. His
visual inquiry explores the landscape itself and the people who
live in it - the daily lives and the narratives that combine to
create this fascinating place - at once beautiful and ugly, safe
and hostile. A selection of texts by a diverse range of writers -
who have each selected one photograph as a spring board - will be
interspersed amongst the photographs, offering a gathering of
voices and perspectives.
Coming Out Asperger explores the complexity of diagnosis for
Asperger Syndrome, the drawbacks and benefits of disclosing a
diagnosis of a "hidden disability," and how this impinges on
self-esteem. The contributors include some of the best-known and
most exciting writers in the field of Asperger Syndrome (AS) today,
and include individuals on the autism spectrum, parents and
professionals. The broad range of the chapters, which draw on
anecdotal, professional and research-based evidence, make this book
a comprehensive and highly original consideration of the
implications of an AS diagnosis. The ever-difficult question of who
to tell and when once a diagnosis has been confirmed is discussed
in great depth. Liane Holliday Willey and Stephen Shore examine the
dynamics of disclosure, its risks and the possible effect on
self-confidence. Jacqui Jackson looks at how a diagnosis impacts
upon family life. Tony Attwood provides a clinician's view of
diagnosing adults, and Lynne Moxon, Wendy Lawson, Dora Georgiou and
Jane Meyerding discuss adult issues surrounding disclosure,
including how to deal with relationships and sexuality, and
disclosure in the workplace, as well as social and disability
issues. A unique and fascinating insight into the important issue
of diagnosis disclosure, this book is an essential guide for people
with AS, parents, teachers, professionals and all those who have
ever felt confused about revealing a personal issue.
This second edition of Beyond The Wall is an autobiographical
account that gives a rare, detailed and warm insight into the life
of someone with Asperger Syndrome. Shore relates his personal and
professional experiences in a simple and open manner, creating an
informative, user-friendly text that sheds new light on the trials
and tribulations of those with Asperger Syndrome. Shore does not
only give his personal view within this book, but also gives family
events and background, whilst connecting his own experiences to
recent research, making it of equal interest to both individuals
and professionals.

Warhol's Factory as seen through the lens of a young Shore,
providing an insider view of this extraordinary moment and place
Stephen Shore was 17 years old when he began hanging out at The
Factory - Andy Warhol's legendary studio in Manhattan. Between 1965
and 1967, Shore spent nearly every day there, taking pictures of
its diverse cast of characters, from musicians to actors, artists
to writers, and including Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, and Nico - not
to mention Warhol himself. This book presents a personal selection
of photographs from Shore's collection, providing an insider's view
of this extraordinary moment and place, as seen through the eyes of
one of photography's most beloved practitioners.
Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places is indisputably a canonic body of
work-a touchstone for those interested in photography and the
American landscape. Remarkably, despite having been the focus of
numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture
classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of
photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety. Over the past
five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between
1973 and 1981. In this volume, Aperture has invited an
international group of fifteen photographers, curators, authors,
and cultural figures to select ten images apiece from this rarely
seen cache of images. Each portfolio offers an idiosyncratic and
revealing commentary on why this body of work continues to astound;
how it has impacted the work of new generations of photography and
the medium at large; and proposes new insight on Shore's unique
vision of America as transmuted in this totemic series.

A highly collectable, limited facsimile edition Stephen Shore is
one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century. A
pioneer of colour photography, his photographs of everyday American
scenes paved the way for future art photographers like Martin Parr,
Nan Goldin and Thomas Struth. This special, highly collectible,
limited edition book - numbered and signed by the photographer - is
a complete reproduction of the journal that Shore made on a
month-long American road trip in 1973, during which he began work
on his influential project Uncommon Places. In the journal Shore
included his own photographs, lists detailing information on his
travels like where he stayed, what he ate, how many miles he drove,
and various ephemera like receipts and postcards. Each page of the
journal is reproduced along with a plate section featuring every
photograph he took on his journey to provide the complete story of
the journey at this seminal moment in his career. The book also
includes a set of postcards, reproductions of cards that Shore
himself made and distributed on his journey, to ensure this is an
essential title for any collector, photography enthusiast, or
student.
In 1977, Stephen Shore travelled across New York state,
Pennsylvania, and eastern Ohio - an area in the midst of industrial
decline that would eventually be known as the Rust Belt. Shore met
steelworkers who had been thrown out of work by plant closures and
photographed their suddenly fragile world: deserted factories,
lonely bars, dwindling high streets, and lovingly decorated homes.
Across these images, a prosperous middle America is seen teetering
on the precipice of disastrous decline. Hope and despair alike lurk
restlessly behind the surfaces of shop fronts, domestic interiors,
and the fraught expressions of those who confront Shore's 4x5" view
camera. Originally commissioned as an extended photographic report
for Fortune Magazine in the vein of Walker Evans, Shore's
multifaceted investigation has only gained political salience in
the intervening years. Shore's subjects - including workers, union
leaders, and family members - had voted for Jimmy Carter the year
preceding his visit; now he found them disillusioned with the new
president, fated to leave behind the Democratic party and become
the 'Reagan Democrats'. Through unfailingly engrossing images by
one of the world's acknowledged masters, Steel Town provides an
immersive portrait of a time and place whose significance to our
own is ever more urgent.
Martha Kennedy Hartnett is the mother of a child with Asperger's
Syndrome who made the courageous choice to homeschool. Emerging

into the homes of Asperger families as they journey from survival
of the playground bully to making it work at home. Hartnett
embraces those pertinent questions raised by parents: Will I be
limiting my child's emotional and social development? How will I
know if my teaching is good enough? What if I can't cope? These
questions and many more are answered in this touching and
insightful narrative. This is a book of hope and encouragement to
all parents with an interest in homeschooling.
