Just to follow up, I had this prompt response:

Ms. Taylor,
Thank you for the positive feedback. We are very excited about the
response to the DVD and are busy preparing a follow-up for Dormitory
Supervisors. We have had several requests to have the DVD subtitled and
we do hope to have that in process soon. Please keep checking the
website for an announcement to that effect.
Thanks again.

Hi all,
I haven't had a chance to look at this yet, so can't vouch for it in any
way. But it might be a
useful resource!

Understanding Asperger Syndrome: A Professor's Guide
The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) released
Understanding Asperger Syndrome: A
Professor's Guide, a 12-minute video for use by college students with
Asperger Syndrome as a tool to
educate their professors, teaching assistants, and others about the
disorder. OAR produced the DVD
in cooperation with the Global Regional Asperger Syndrome Project
(GRASP) and Pace University in New
York thanks to a grant from the Schwallie Family Foundation. The video
is available now for viewing
and download at no cost on OAR's Web site,
www.researchautism.org/resources/AspergerDVDSeries.asp .
"The idea behind this series," said Peter Gerhardt, Ed.D., OAR's
president, "is to have
adults with Asperger Syndrome in effect teach what it means to be an
adult with the disorder."
To that end, the video features two people with Asperger
Syndrome, Michael John Carley from
GRASP and Kiriana Cownesage, a doctoral student at NYU. Dr. Gerhardt
also appears, providing
information on "reasonable accommodations" in the college classroom. In
addition to being posted on
OAR's Web site, OAR will post it on YouTube.com and produce DVDs to be
available upon request via
the Web site by early June.
