Including Samuel
(2009) - Before his son
Samuel was diagnosed with
cerebral palsy, photojour-
nalist Dan Habib rarely
thought about the inclusion
of people with disabilities.
Now he thinks about inclu-
sion every day. Shot and
produced over four years,
Habib's award-winning
documentary film, "Including
Samuel," chronicles the
Habib family's efforts to
include Samuel in every
facet of their lives.
The Autistic Brain
(2014) - Weaving her own
experience with remarkable
new discoveries, Temple
Grandin introduces the ad-
vances in neuroimaging and
genetic research that link brain
science to behavior, even shar-
ing her own brain scan to show
which anomalies might explain
common symptoms. Most ex-
citingly, she argues that raising
and educating kids on the au-
tism spectrum must focus on
their long-overlooked strengths
to foster their unique contribu-
tions. The Autistic Brain brings
Grandin’s singular perspective
into the heart of the autism
revolution.
Misdiagnosis and Dual
Diagnosis of Gifted Chil-
dren and Adults (2005) -
Our brightest, most creative
children and adults are often
being misdiagnosed with behav-
ioral and emotional disorders
such as ADHD, Oppositional-
Defiant Disorder, Bipolar,
OCD, or Asperger’s. Many
receive unneeded medication
and inappropriate counseling as
a result. Physicians, psycholo-
gist, and counselors are un-
aware of characteristics of
gifted children and adults that
mimic pathological diagnoses.
Six nationally prominent health
care professionals describe
ways parents and professionals
can distinguish between gifted
behaviors and pathological
behaviors

Spotlight On These New Additions...
“Whenever you
find yourself on
the side of the
majority, it is
time to pause
and reflect.”
~Mark Twain
People with autism and learning disabilities excel in
creative thinking, study shows
(The Guardian) - A new study showing that people with autism display higher levels of creativity
has been welcomed by campaigners, who say it helps debunk a myth about people with learning
disabilities. Scientists found that people with the developmental condition were far more likely to
come up with unique answers to creative problems despite having traits that can be socially crip-
pling and make it difficult to find jobs.
