from Richard's desk

In early October 2010 The ASD Clinic team relocated from Glen Iris to larger premises in Kew East - click here for full details.  You may notice that The ASD Clinic has a new logo, and a new branch of The ASD Clinic has opened in Malvern operated by Geoff Martin.  Geoff will split his time between the two clinics.

We are currently looking to expand our services and are asking for expressions of interest from other Psychologists, Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists with experience in ASD to contact myself or Natasha at reception@theasdclinic.com.au.

Sophie Banfield has decided to concentrate on working through her own clinic and will leave us at the end of 2011.  We thank Sophie for the time with us and wish her well.

The team members at The ASD Clinic and I often are invited to present to parent and professional groups, and also at conferences and seminars.  Presentation formats, content and locations vary enormously depending on the session hosts.  Keep an eye on our News/Events page for details of forthcoming presentations.

I have also produced a DVD of my presentation "Imagine Having Asperger's Syndrome: A First Consultation".

"Imagine having Asperger's Syndrome: A First Consultation" - a DVD featuring Dr Richard Eisenmajer

In response to many requests 'to bottle what you have told us so we can tell others about Asperger's Syndrome' I have produced a DVD* which takes the form of a 'first consultation'.  After explaining the main features of Asperger's Syndrome in an accessible conversation format, I use anecdotes from my clinical practice to illustrate how people with this condition experience the world around them and the reasons why they either excel or struggle with everyday activities.
 
* also available in VHS video format

"Imagine having Autism"

I have also written a brief article to complement the material contained in this DVD recording - you can download a pdf copy here (109 KB)


What people have said about "Imagine Having Asperger's Syndrome: A First Consultation":

"This DVD will be of great value to anyone who lives or works with someone on the autism spectrum. Richard really nails the key challenges that people with Asperger's Syndrome face every day, and gives many practical strategies that can assist."
Judy Brewer, advocate and parent.

"This is a fantastic resource for health care professionals, teachers and parents. He has a unique perspective ... and really helps the viewer to better understand why kids with Asperger's think and behave the way they do."
Dr Katie Heathershaw, Paediatrician.

"Richard's DVD helped us explain young Jack's diagnosis to our family, friends and Jack's teachers - it is so positive and informative."
Julie, Jack's mum.

"It is so hard when people don't understand what you are experiencing - everybody should listen to what Richard says in this DVD."
LC, person with Asperger's Syndrome.
