Book excerpt: I’ve been to hell and back, I’ve dragged hell to it’s deepest darkest nightmares to the point of it saying your not welcome here. I don’t want you to pick this book up for the sake of it. I want you to pick it up and take it home with you only if you will pay attention. I didn’t bring up all of my traumas and nightmares for nothing. I have done so only to help people who have been and who currently are in the places and situations I’ve horribly found myself in. Welcome to my World of Autism, Welcome to my struggles with ADHD (Attention Deficit HyperActivity Disorder.) See how Bipolar affects me, look into the effects Depression and Anxiety have on the human mind. All of this might well seem like a lot, but really it’s not. But above all remember this was done to try and let people know that life is in fact a bitch of a struggle. Not only that, but to make people aware that you can get through life’s struggles in the very world we live in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into one of the most fascinating minds alive today—guided by the owner himself. Bestselling author Daniel Tammet (Thinking in Numbers) is virtually unique among people who have severe autistic disorders in that he is capable of living a fully independent life and able to explain what is happening inside his head. He sees numbers as shapes, colors, and textures, and he can perform extraordinary calculations in his head. He can learn to speak new languages fluently, from scratch, in a week. In 2004, he memorized and recited more than 22,000 digits of pi, setting a record. He has savant syndrome, an extremely rare condition that gives him the most unimaginable mental powers, much like those portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in the film Rain Man. Fascinating and inspiring, Born on a Blue Day explores what it’s like to be special and gives us an insight into what makes us all human—our minds.

Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Sweeping in scope but with intimate personal stories, this is a deeply moving book about the history, science, and human drama of autism.”—Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Code Breaker “Remarkable . . . A riveting tale about how a seemingly rare childhood disorder became a salient fixture in our cultural landscape.”—The Wall Street Journal (Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Year) The inspiration for the PBS documentary, In a Different Key In 1938, Donald Triplett of Forest, Mississippi, became the first child diagnosed with autism. Beginning with his family’s odyssey, In a Different Key tells the extraordinary story of this often misunderstood condition, from the civil rights battles waged by the families of those who have it to the fierce debates among scientists over how to define and treat it. Unfolding over decades, In a Different Key is a beautifully rendered history of people determined to secure a place in the world for those with autism—by liberating children from dank institutions, campaigning for their right to go to school, challenging expert opinion on what it means to have autism, and persuading society to accept those who are different. This is also a story of fierce controversies—from the question of whether there is truly an autism “epidemic,” and whether vaccines played a part in it; to scandals involving “facilitated communication,” one of many unsuccessful treatments; to stark disagreements about whether scientists should pursue a cure for autism; to compelling evidence that Hans Asperger, discoverer of the syndrome named after him, participated in the Nazi program that consigned disabled children to death. By turns intimate and panoramic, In a Different Key takes us on a journey from an era when families were shamed and children were condemned to institutions to one in which a cadre of people with autism push not simply for inclusion, but for a new understanding of autism: as difference rather than disability.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find.” —from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.

Book excerpt: Temple Grandin may be the most famous person with autism, a condition that affects 1 in 88 children. Since her birth in 1947, our understanding of it has undergone a great transformation, leading to more hope than ever before that we may finally learn the causes of and treatments for autism. Weaving her own experience with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the advances in neuroimaging and genetic research that link brain science to behavior, even sharing her own brain scan to show which anomalies might explain common symptoms. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and educating kids on the autism spectrum must focus on their long-overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions. The Autistic Brain brings Grandin’s singular perspective into the heart of the autism revolution.

Book excerpt: A father's inspiring portrait of his daughter informs this classic reassessment of the "epidemic" of autism. When Isabel Grinker was diagnosed with autism in 1994, it occurred in only about 3 of every 10,000 children. Within ten years, rates had skyrocketed. Some scientists reported rates as high as 1 in 150. The media had declared autism an epidemic. Unstrange Minds documents the global quest of Isabel's father, renowned anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker, to discover the surprising truth about why autism is so much more common today. In fact, there is no autism epidemic. Rather, we are experiencing an increase in autism diagnoses, and Grinker shows that the identification and treatment of autism depends on culture just as much as it does on science. Filled with moving stories and informed by the latest science, Unstrange Minds is a powerful testament to a father's search for the truth.

For the new edition, Grandin has written a new afterword addressing recent developments in the study of autism, including new diagnostic criteria, advancements in genetic research, updated tips, insights into working with children and young people with autism, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Miller is a 12 year old high functioning autistic. Max was diagnosed with autism at age 5. His original prognosis was that he would never learn and was deemed “unteachable.” It was recommended to his parents that he be institutionalized as he would never thrive. His parents defied this assertion and pressed forward with a blend of traditional and non-traditional therapeutic methods. The blend of methods worked and Max began to communicate. Max was non-verbal until age 6. He did not learn to read and write until age 10. He is now integrated in the classroom and reads at grade level. Due to his disability, Max encountered many forms of discrimination, mostly due to ignorance. He was denied access to the many things allotted to children—sports, education, scouting, birthday parties, even playdates. Despite these harms, Max chose not to be bitter. He embraced his autism and became an advocate for himself and for other children on the spectrum. When words were difficult to come by, Max would use art to communicate his feelings to his mother. He now uses art and essays as a tool to educate others about what it is like to have autism. An aspiring artist, his art has been displayed at the Denver Art Museum and 40 West Gallery. His art show, Insight into the Autistic Mind, is on constant display as part of Max’s in-services for groups interested in autism. He was profiled in the local media for his advocacy. Max has his own Facebook page for his art show and at present has 200 likes and growing. Max lives in Denver, Colorado with his mom and dad and four cats. He has a love of skateboarding, his PS3, writing, art and music. He wants to be a DJ and play in a jazz band when he grows up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism, philosophy, and psychology, oh my! The world from the freak's eyes is simultaneously an examination of how the autistic mind of an adult processes information and a collective of philosophies, designed in a 'stream of the consciousness' style of writing. Make no mistake, it's all written and organized to give the reader a hands-on, or in this case, mind-in take of how Ridge Miller's mind works, an adult who lives with autism, but does not suffer from it. This experience presents a rarely before seen in-depth analysis of how some neurodiverse people on the spectrum think, with a major emphasis on philosophy of the mind. Inside you will discover not only a description of what it's like for some with autism, but talks of philosophy and furthermore what makes Ridge unique, with included short fiction and poetry, all of which have applied examples of his psychology, philosophy, and world-views regarding how the world looks inside his mind, all styled in an entertaining approach. This will change not only your outlook on autism and how to improve your overall happiness in life, but your view of the world as a whole.

Book excerpt: João Carlos, together with Andrea Libutti, MD, offer an entirely new way to view autism, with answers to the most pressing questions parents have about autism. From understanding odd behaviors, aggression, lack of speech, repetitive behavior, and more; to solutions for helping autistic children reach their full potential. João Carlos is a non-verbal, autistic young man who lives in Portugal. Most people that see him would label him as severely autistic and very low-functioning. But he writes in fluent English, and he is here to tell us that what we think and believe about autism, is entirely wrong.What unfolds in this book is a pouring out from João's heart, a sharing of information so profound, you will never look at your child the same. And rightfully so, because according to João, we have grossly underestimated this population's intelligence and potential.Andrea Libutti, a physician, author and mother to three boys, the eldest with autism, began receiving letters from João in 2016. They began a conversation about the nature of autism, the growing epidemic, and how to best help these children. What transpired was an entirely new perspective on autism, integrating the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of an epidemic that continues to grow, leaving parents and educators at a loss.With João's unexplainable spiritual wisdom, this book takes you on a journey that challenges what we think we know about life, and invites exploration into the realms of consciousness, the soul's mission, and the evolution of humanity.For parents that are looking to understand their child with autism, this book provides answers, totally unexpected answers, to those who are willing to consider a Divine orchestration of life, and the part that autism plays. If you are open-minded to a bigger force at play here, then the messages in this book, from an autistic young man, will provide the guidance you need to connect with your child and optimize his/her future potential.
