Book excerpt: A Touch of Genius is a hopeful and practical guide to parenting a child on the autism spectrum—one that dives straight to the heart of education and success. Lily Stamford, an author, motivational speaker, and advocate for autism, shares her firsthand account of raising a son diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, recalling the path she and her family walked through his childhood, youth, and adulthood. Along the way, she seeks to answer tough questions about students on the autism spectrum, including: • Why do so few students on the autism spectrum graduate from college? • Why are so many public resources for children on the spectrum so difficult to find? • What can we do to help every student on the spectrum achieve their goals? • What lessons can parents of students on the spectrum learn from others who have walked in their shoes? Stamford answers these questions and more as she instills hope in what is too often portrayed as a bleak future. If you are looking to help your children achieve success, then this is the perfect book.

Book excerpt: What is autism really like? Academic literature often defines autism in a clinical, pathology-orientated way, whereas personal testimony can tell health and social care professionals how it feels. This book presents personal accounts from people whose lives have been touched by the day-to-day realities of autism: people with autism, professionals who interact with them, their parents and their siblings. The stories are mostly told ‘straight’, with brief introductory comments and a few reflections at the end of each chapter. As Autism Programme Leader at the University of Cumbria for the past 13 years, Steve Mee is uniquely placed to compile such a book. He has met, and befriended, many people with autism and their families. Through listening to their stories, he has had moments of profound challenge and insight. In this book, he shares these personal narratives and what he has learnt from them. Reading these accounts will enable professionals to develop a real understanding of what it is like to live with autism, in all its nuanced detail. This in turn can provide vital insights into the impact (both positive and negative) of professional interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth... The Creed is the bones of our faith. In all our different ways, it makes us who we are. But when we stand up and recite the Creed in unison, we have no time to contemplate what it is that we are committing ourselves to. The words rush past, their meaning blurred by familiarity. If we could only slow them down and hear them properly, they would have the power to change worlds. That is what The Creed in Slow Motion aims to do. This is a book for people who like to think things through from first principles. It will not tell you what to believe. (It is for you to engage your mind and discover that for yourself. And for unbelievers to learn what exactly they disbelieve, and why.) In forty short chapters, with clarity and wit, The Creed in Slow Motion draws examples from real-life stories, history and even science to uncover the core claims of Christianity. By turns it is deep, heartening, startling, revolutionary and even, by the world's standards, outrageous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK: It seemed nothing Tracy did for her son would work-testing, counseling, medication, therapy-and violent meltdowns were a daily occurrence. She agonized over What is next? What is to become of my beautiful son? Tracy's struggles were long and hard, but with a mother's determination, a supportive family, and God's love and intervention, she found strength, endurance, and unexpected open doors. To the Land of the Lost is a mom's gripping, true story account of the trials faced while parenting a child who has Asperger's syndrome. The story is gut wrenching and heartbreaking, while at the same time loving, uplifting, encouraging, and inspirational. To the Land of the Lost is a must read for any parent, caregiver, teacher, or friend of someone living with an autism spectrum disorder. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tracy M. Maguire lives in Dublin, Ireland, with her three children: Graham, Sophie, and James. Her eldest son, Graham, now almost 19 years old, has Asperger's syndrome. Tracy is passionate about encouraging parents who are raising a child with Asperger's and giving them hope in what can often feel like a hopeless situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book arises from a lifetime's practical experience of work with people with Asperger's syndrome and autism. People with Asperger's syndrome easily drop through the net and fall into the wrong services - sometimes staying at home, depending on their families, sometimes falling into criminal justice or mental health services. Others, of course, fall into employment. Those in between, and there are many, benefit from the coaching approach developed by Bill Goodyear, which is described in this book. The book is crammed with practical tips, real life stories and new thinking. So often research results arrive from highly specialised work - this book attempts to synthesise a range of new learning from a number of fields and present a hopeful view of the condition - there are many entry points to use to create the possibility of forward motion and development.Touching lightly on some specific and recurring problems, the book unpicks our current understanding of the condition and describes in detail how to use coaching to empower and enable rather than to control and direct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol exposes the unexplored problem of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) using alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with everyday life. Alcohol can relieve the anxiety of social situations and make those with ASDs feel as though they can fit in. Ultimately, however, reliance on alcohol can lead the user down a path of self-destruction and exacerbate existing problems. Utilising their professional and personal experience, the authors provide an overview of ASDs and of alcohol abuse, and explore current knowledge about where the two overlap. Tinsley explores his own personal history as someone with an ASD who has experienced and beaten alcohol addiction. He discusses how the impact of his diagnosis and his understanding of the condition played a huge part in his recovery, and how by viewing his life through the prism of autism, his confusion has been replaced by a greater understanding of himself and the world around him. This inspiring book on an under-researched area will be of interest to professionals working with people with ASDs, as well as individuals with ASDs who may be dealing with alcohol or substance misuse, and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are languages represented in the human brain? Ideas from neuroscience have increasingly been applied to the study of language, exploring the neural processes involved in acquisition, maintenance and loss of language and languages, and the interaction between languages in bi- and multilingual speakers. With a sharp focus on multilingualism, this culmination of cutting-edge research sheds light on this challenging question. Using data from a variety of experiments, this is the first book-length study to offer a new neuroscientific model for analysing multilingualism. Alongside a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and experimental contributions to the field, it presents new data and analysis obtained from a multilingualism fMRI study. It also includes a unique longitudinal study of second and third language acquisition combined with extensive empirically valid language proficiency data of the subjects. A must-read for researchers and advanced students interested in neurolinguistics, second language acquisition, and bi- and multilingualism.
