Social skills, something that neurotypicals don’t have to put much effort into, are problematic for individuals with an autism spectrum disorder.  My newest article, Overcome Social Deficits in Autism, looks at how play therapy, Social Stories, and a social skills group can all help individuals on the autism spectrum gain much-needed social skills and self-confidence.  The Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome Blog has also been updated; my latest topic is the oh-so-controversial Autism and Vaccines.

I have also branched out and contact two publishing companies for review copies of books related to autism.  Both of these books intrigued me, one is already in publication and the other is not scheduled to be released until next month.  I hope to have reviews online within a week of receiving the books.  If the books are as good as I think they are, both publicists have asked that I consider contacting them to interview the author.  Once the books are in and the reviews are published, I’ll be sure to update my blog here at MHOWriting.com.
