Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander is autistic. When he is nine years old he is found dead in a bath of water. The only other person in the house at the time is his mother Ingrid. The circumstances arouse suspicion and the police take Ingrid into custody. Did she murder her child? And who could blame her if she did? She has had nine years of hell with her uncontrollable child, all those she cares about have deserted her, and not even the church has come to her assistance. Her efforts to find help for Alexander have left her bankrupt and she is emotionally and physically depleted. If it were not for Miriam and Gunter, she would surely never have endured the nine years... In this haunting novel Annelie Botes exposes the tragedy of autism and its devastating effect on families. Searingly honest, it brings home the inescapable truth that society can be cruelly indifferent to whatever it perceives to be aberrant.
Book Synopsis The Mystery Puzzle--Autism by : Deena Moustafa
Download or read book The Mystery Puzzle--Autism written by Deena Moustafa and published by Bellissima Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autistics are simply different people. We need to get know them and to stop judging them. Even so called normal people "sometimes" feel and act like they are autistic, perhaps not with the same acuteness, strength, frequentation, but they still do act as if they are autistic! Some of us when nervous (for example) shake our legs. Some of us don't look at people when they are talking. Some of us can become so involved in an internet search we don't realize we are in a room full of active, noisy people. All of these things are things autistics do. Many people with autism are visual thinkers, and some are very high functioning. No two children or adults with this condition will be exactly the same, but there can be similarities. Some have very few problems, and others are almost unreachable. Different autism types have different names, and more and more is being learned about this condition every day. This book will to help you recognize autism as a difference, not as a disease. It is a handbook resource that should be put in the hands of every parent attempting to solve the puzzle of autism, and of every single adult who is or has been touched by autism. Written by Dr. Deena Moustafa, author of "Depression, The Silent Screaming" and "You Are Not Alone---A Message To Parents Of Children With Autism," this book is a must have for every diagnostic library, for every parent who has a child with autism, for every parent who has a child suspected of having autism, and for anyone who wants to solve the puzzle of autism.
Download or read book The Autism Puzzle written by Brita Belli and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alarming spike in autism in recent years has sent doctors and parents on a search for answers. And while many controversies have erupted around the issue, none have gotten us any closer to a definitive explanation, and many key concerns remain unexplored. Moving beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate, The Autism Puzzle is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be impacting the brain development of children. Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism, as she explores the possible causes. She interprets for readers compelling evidence that environmental toxins—including common exposures from chemicals mounting in our everyday lives—may be sparking this disorder in vulnerable children. Belli calls for an end to the use of hazardous materials—like toxic flame retardants used in electronics and furniture, which have been banned elsewhere--insisting that we cannot afford to experiment with our children. The Autism Puzzle puts a human face on the families caught in between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.

Book Synopsis The Riddle of Gender by : Deborah Rudacille
Download or read book The Riddle of Gender written by Deborah Rudacille and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Deborah Rudacille learned that a close friend had decided to transition from female to male, she felt compelled to understand why. Coming at the controversial subject of transsexualism from several angles–historical, sociological, psychological, medical–Rudacille discovered that gender variance is anything but new, that changing one’s gender has been met with both acceptance and hostility through the years, and that gender identity, like sexual orientation, appears to be inborn, not learned, though in some people the sex of the body does not match the sex of the brain. Informed not only by meticulous research, but also by the author’s interviews with prominent members of the transgender community, The Riddle of Gender is a sympathetic and wise look at a sexual revolution that calls into question many of our most deeply held assumptions about what it means to be a man, a woman, and a human being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a short book of 54 pages yet a powerful, thorough reference that sheds light on the complex and multidimensional world of autism. This book seeks to provide you with a deeper understanding and practical insights regarding autism, whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply inquisitive about this neurological disorder. Autism, often known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Its various forms, ranging from difficulties with social interaction and communication to restricted interests and repetitive behaviors, can provide distinct problems for persons with autism and their families. With the rising prevalence of autism diagnoses, there is an urgent need to untangle the complexity behind the disorder. In this book, we set out to solve the mysteries of autism, investigating its origins, the elements that contribute to its development, and the impact it has on people's lives. We will look at scientific studies, share personal tales, and offer practical techniques for overcoming problems and enjoying the qualities of those on the autism spectrum. We will piece together the jigsaw of autism chapter by chapter, beginning with a detailed investigation of what autism truly is. We will look at the historical context and changing opinions on autism, highlighting the various manifestations. Understanding the entire spectrum is critical for appreciating the distinct experiences and needs of people on various spectrums. Following that, we shall investigate the underlying causes of autism. We will look at recent research and findings that offer insight into the neurological underpinnings of autism, from genetic factors to environmental triggers. By putting these puzzle pieces together, we hope to create a more complete picture of the condition's beginnings and develop a better understanding of its intricacies. Finally, we will discuss the practical aspects of overcoming the problems of autism. For early intervention and assistance, early detection and diagnosis are critical. Communication difficulties and techniques will be investigated, allowing people with autism to express themselves and interact with others more successfully. We will also look into a variety of supportive interventions and therapies that help improve quality of life and general well-being. We hope that this book will develop empathy, understanding, and acceptance of people with autism. Our objective is to give you useful information, practical solutions, and resources to help you negotiate the complexity of autism with confidence and compassion. So, let us go on this adventure together, solving the autism puzzle and celebrating the extraordinary potential and unique perspectives of those on the autism spectrum.
Download or read book Neurotribes written by Steve Silberman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This New York Times–bestselling book upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently. What is autism? A lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things and more—and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years. Going back to the earliest days of autism research, Silberman offers a gripping narrative of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger, the research pioneers who defined the scope of autism in profoundly different ways; he then goes on to explore the game-changing concept of neurodiversity. NeuroTribes considers the idea that neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are not errors of nature or products of the toxic modern world, but the result of natural variations in the human genome. This groundbreaking book will reshape our understanding of the history, meaning, function, and implications of neurodiversity in our world.

Book Synopsis A Solution to the Riddle Dyslexia by : H.N. Levinson
Download or read book A Solution to the Riddle Dyslexia written by H.N. Levinson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyslexia was first described by two English physicians, Kerr and Morgan, in 1896. Interestingly, the structural cortical hypothesis initially proposed by Morgan is still held in wide esteem, albeit in slightly modified forms. Despite 80 years of escalating research efforts and mounds of correspond ing statistics, there continues to exist a perplexing diagnostic-therapeutic medical void and riddle in which dyslexics can neither be scientifically distinguished from other slow learners nor medically treated; and patho gnomonic clinical signs remain as elusive as a suitable neurophysiologic conceptualization. This book is the outcome of a IS-year-Iong search for a solution to the riddle characterizing dyslexia. All of my initial attempts at re-exploring the safe old (cortical, psychogenic, etc.) dyslexic paths and ideas led nowhere. Something new was needed. Children and adults were suffering. Educators and parents were bewildered. Answers were needed. The government man dated equal education for the learning disabled. Clinicians were waiting. And traditionalists remained fixated to the theoretical past and blind to the clinical dyslexic reality.

And how will they get back home? Five passengers seem to hold clues about what’s really going on: writer Harper Lane, venture capitalist Nick Stone, German genetic researcher Sabrina Schröder, computer scientist Yul Tan, and Grayson Shaw, the son of a billionaire philanthropist. As more facts about the crash emerge, it becomes clear that some in this group know more than they’re letting on—answers that will lead Harper and Nick to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy involving their own lives. As they begin to piece together the truth, they discover they have the power to change the future and the past—to save our world . . . or end it. A wildly inventive and propulsive adventure full of hairpin twists, Departure is a thrilling tale that weaves together power, ambition, fate, memory, and love, from a bold and visionary talent.
