Documentary helps in coping with Autism, Asperger Syndrome

Dec. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Coping to Excelling is a documentary and corresponding booklet shedding light on the topic of High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome in school-aged children. Narrated by a Mother of a son with Aspergers living here in San Antonio…this engaging program allows the viewer the unique opportunity to ‘see through the eyes’ of those on the high end of the Autism Spectrum by way of animation and reenactments. Bottom line: This program will take these children, their families and educators from merely Coping with High- Functioning Autism….to Excelling!
