Autism Spectrum Disorder Strategies
In The Fabric of Autism: Weaving the Threads into a Cogent Theory, Judith Bluestone combines her personal autistic experience with acedemic research and over 40 years of clinical practice to craft a unique and compelling view of the phenomenon called autism. Bluestone’s book is both a significant clinical work and a moving memoir that illuminates the humanity beneath the brewildering facade of autism. Infused with rare and hard won insights into the etiology of autistic behaviors, this book weaves the various threads of autism into a sensible theory while simultaneously offering practical tools for strengthening the interactive systems of the body-brain-mind-spirit.The Fabric of Autism takes it’s readers on a riveting journey into the world of individuals whose lives are influenced by ASD, most of whom have achieved significant improvements in their communication, general functioning and quality of life with the help of HANDLE- Holistic Approach to NeuroDevelopment and Learning Efficiency. The Fabric of Autism shows us that compassion, understanding and intuition can co-exisit with neuroscience, as it provides a new view and appreciation of the complex neurological dysfunction labeled autism.

A must-read,
I commend Judith Bluestone’s “The Fabric of Autism: Weaving the Threads into a Cogent Theory” with vigorous enthusiasm. It is a truly awesome book, leading the reader into the maze of internal disorganization experienced by someone with autism – and out of the maze too! That’s what makes the book so remarkable. No one has ever done that, to my knowledge. Lots of authors look segmentally at autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and suggest correspondingly segmentalized treatment. This author views (and shares!) the whole.
Judith Bluestone combines profound logic and creative genius to EXPLAIN autism – not just ferreting out composite causes, not just describing the spectrum: from the “inside” of her own life experiences and from the “outside” of a gentle, wise, compassionate teacher and therapist, she explains autism for everyone. And she goes even one step further: she links the industrialized world’s epidemic of disordered neurodevelopment – seen in ADHD, learning disabilities, Tourette’s Syndrome, bipolar disorder, depression – to phenomena comparable to the extreme of autism. So this book affords insights applicable beyond the autism spectrum, too.
This is a must-read book for anyone who cares about enabling individuals to cope with life’s challenges. Anyone who loves someone on the autism spectrum, anyone who teaches or treats someone with an ASD, anyone who has devoted time and energy to studying ASD, will turn a corner into vision: they will SEE autism. And will thereby see the human being struggling, whole.
Congratulations to Judith Bluestone for an awesome job!

|more than just a book,
I read the book quite some time ago and don’t remember much of the details. All I know is that it convinced me to give the Handle approach a chance – to give my son a chance in life. We are in the fifth month of a Handle program directly under the author Judith Bluestone.
My son has changed so drastically within the last five months. I am very faithful to the exercises because I see the results which include being able to hear and see at the same time, being able to smell, being able to process sequences of sounds, being able to follow more than two commands, being able to use fingers on one hand without the other hand moving, becoming more social etc etc etc (My son is six years old).
The book comes with exercises to try so you can get an idea of what a full Handle program would be like.
I would like to add that my husband has a PhD in physics and works for NASA. He is very research orientated but when it comes to the Handle program, he just says “whatever you are doing, just keep going!”

|Common Thread,
This is an excellent book that helps to emphasize that people on the autism/Asperger’s (a/A) continuum have many common threads with their neurotypical (NT) counterparts. I want more books like this. I find that message positive, affirming and very helpful indeed.
Bluestone does a brilliant job of combining a personal account with clinical research. When you get right down to it, all people have some common traits/aspects/behaviors with their a/A counterparts. The common thread is quite strong; it comes through in the beautiful, bright primary colors that make up the a/A enigma puzzle. Bluestone’s research does a lot to unravel the enigma by providing logical explanations for sensory issues and behavioral responses to same.
I think this book deserves a place of honor among all professionals, parents and lay people. We all need this book!
