There is an "Emotions library" where 412 different emotions are organized into 24 groups. Video clips of people of all ages demonstrate through the use of stories, definitions and explanations of the facial expressions. The "Learning Center" includes lessons and quizzes. The "Games Zone" allows users to have a bit of fun while practicing and testing their skills. Here users will find a special visitor -- the young actor who portrays Harry Potter.

The Paris Option
by Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds
In this Covert-One Series novel, Marty (a character who has the AS diagnosis) returns. Marty was first introduced in Ludlum's book, The Hades Factor, and the OASIS web site was specifically mentioned. While some readers may not agree with the representation of Marty, I know of several people who found their way to OASIS after reading The Hades Factor. This is reading for fun --and if people are educated along the way, I am extremely grateful to the author.
