A new program for teachers and parents of toddlers with autism is producing encouraging results.
The NYT “Well” blog points to a report in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics that shows the Early Start Denver Model (E.S.D.M.) resulted in increased I.Q.’s.
The “Well” blog also interviews one of the co-authors of a new book describing the program. Libraries we checked have not ordered it.

We didn’t see this one coming; featured in the NYT Magazine this week is a $150 book, which quickly rose to #4 on Amazon, just three spots away from The Lost Symbol.
The book is Carl Jung’s record of his own hallucinations during a mental breakdown, which he chronicled in words and drawings in a red notebook. Although Jung believed that The Red Book was the source of all his works, he never published it and left no instructions regarding whether to do so after he died. For years, The Red Book was kept in a bank vault and very few people were allowed access to it. The NYT Magazine’s story details how the book came to be scanned, translated and is about to be published.
Libraries we checked do not show it on order.
