The DDD Video Series
James Castle Video and Book
Dream House
(DVD)
Born in the early 1900s in rural Idaho, James Castle was believed to be
“deaf, mute, illiterate and intellectually disabled.” Never speaking,
he nevertheless produced tens of thousands of artworks using such found
materials as ink made from soot and saliva, pens fashioned from twigs
or sticks, and canvases scavenged from scrap paper. Today his
behavioral and communication characteristics would likely be
interpreted as consistent with autism.
This
Idaho Public Television-aired video documentary uses Castle's art
(drawings, constructions, books) and exclusive interviews with Castle's
childhood friends, family and art experts to tell his unique story,
helping the viewer to see the world as it might be experienced by a
gifted artist with autism. Member Price: $16.95; Non Member
Price: $19.95 Order from CEC Publications
James
Castle: His Life and Art (Book)
James Castle’s primary form of communication was the thousands of
drawings and illustrations he produced during his lifetime. Houses,
domestic scenes, family members and friends were endlessly rendered in
what some have termed a primitive “folk art” style from crude tools and
supplies — ink made from soot and saliva, pens fashioned from twigs or
sticks and canvases scavenged from scrap paper, cardboard, books and
the many catalogs that flowed through his parents’ general store and
post office. Castle left behind more than 20,000 artworks.
In
retrospect James Castle’s behavioral and communication characteristics
are consistent with what would be seen as autism today. His haunting
art work as provided and commented on in this biography of this
extraordinary man offers unique and unparalleled insights into how the
world might be perceived by a gifted artist with autism.

"Look
I'm in College"
The
Publications Committee of the Division on Developmental Disabilities is
pleased to announce its most recent video offering. “Look, I'm in
College!” follows Terence, Benny, Donald, and Rayquan, four New York
City students through an extraordinary experience. Working with a group
of New York City educators and Pace University, these four African
American young men from challenging socio-economic backgrounds achieved
a small miracle in the world of higher education. Each of these
individuals enrolled at Pace University. And each is diagnosed with
autism.
For students with autism
spectrum disorders such as theirs, going to college was rarely an
option ... until now. Thanks to this program, public
school
students with autism and cognitive challenges from the borough of
Manhattan now have the opportunity to attend college classes
with
their nondisabled peers.
“Look,
I'm in College!”” introduces viewers to these four inspiring students,
and to the educators who made this dream a reality. The video is
available from CEC
Publications.

diagnosis of autism. Interviews with Taylor's speech therapist and with
his father add depth, while the most powerful moments of the video are
those of Taylor himself speaking about his life and his autism. 2003,
