Stillman Autism Updates: Winter 2008

New Year Greetings! Here are some new updates to share. Thanks to all for the

continued interest and support!

a.. The Autism Perspective magazine has gone " green " and will no longer be

published in hardcopy format. However the entire magazine, with its great

graphics, terrific photography, and cutting-edge articles, may be accessed FREE

online (registration required) at www.theautismperspective.org. Self-advocate

Attfield is now a columnist with wise insights. Check it out!

a.. A Spanish-language version of " Presuming Intellect " is now available upon

request (and will eventually be posted to the Web site) with grateful thanks to

Ruesga and my good friends at Fiesta Educativa in Los Angeles (and with

PDF tech support from Youth Advocate Programs, Inc.). Contact me directly for

the file.

a.. The Autism Answer Book is going into its second printing and with a new

cover design. It encompasses over 300 questions (and " inside-out " answers) from

real parents categorized into twelve chapters. See the " Bill's Books " section of

the Web site for further details.

a.. Autism and the God Connection is soon going into its third printing, and

is receiving a German translation by foreign publisher Amra Verlag (a Spanish

translation is currently under consideration as well). For those families

confused or compromised by experiences that may be defined as spiritual and

require clarity, I've added a protocol addressing these issues to the " Autism

and the God Connection " section of the Web site.

a.. The Soul of Autism, sequel to Autism and the God Connection, will be

published by New Page Books April 1. Early editorial feedback has been glowing

thus far! National bookseller & Noble has placed a sizable advance order

and will be promoting the book in-store through displays with the book's cover

facing out (significant in the publishing world!). Additionally, two different

excerpts will appear in the online magazines TheGlobalIntelligencer.com, and

ChildrenoftheNewEarth.com. Children of the New Earth is now promoting the book

with an ad banner on its homepage (which alternates throughout the day with

another New Page title). Deep appreciation to my publisher New Page Books for

their terrific backing and support!

a.. For those living in northwestern Pennsylvania or southwestern New York, I

will be speaking about autism and spirituality at Lily Dale Assembly, Lily Dale,

New York on June 30; and I'll be making a presentation about presuming intellect

at the Autism Society of America national conference July 10 - 12 in Orlando,

Florida. Please check my presentation for further details.

a.. Two recent online radio interviews may be of interest. The first was with

Debbie Macias of The Mommies Corner and addressed autism and a spiritual

association, and the second was discussing The Autism Answer Book with Rhonda

Brunett of AutismOne Radio. The links to both programs are here: Click here: The

Preachers Corner Live and Click here: Autism One Radio

a.. The Everything Parent's Guide to Children with Asperger's Syndrome is

being edited and reformatted in an economy-priced, no-frills edition this May

titled When Your Child has Asperger's Syndrome. It will retail for $6.95. Watch

for it from publisher Media.
