uplifting way." - Cerrie Burnell YOU CAN...be brave, challenge
yourself, overcome your fears, be kind, be brilliant...be YOU! Come
on an amazing journey with 14 children as they grow from birth to

ground-breaking book from author and co-founder of Inclusive Minds,
Alexandra Strick, with an astonishing, visual narrative by
international picture book star, Steve Antony.
A twelve-year-old mute boy sets off to find his mother in a blizzard, and becomes the captive of an evil woman in the Half-a-Moon Inn. ‘A suspenseful tale with archetypal characters and a haunting atmosphere. . . . The brisk pace and steady accumulation of events build tension, while Fleischman's fine writing begs to be read aloud." —BL. 1980 Children's Reviewers' Choices (BL) Notable Books of the Year 1980 (NYT) 1980 Golden Kite Award Honor Book for Fiction (SCBW) Children's Books of 1980 (Library of Congress) 1980 Silver Medal for Literature (Commonwealth Club of California)
Being a teen or tween is tough for anyone. And if you're on the
Autism Spectrum, life can feel like a game you're playing without
knowing the rules. Jennifer Cook knows - she's been there! Her
internationally bestselling handbook is the key to unlocking those
unwritten, often confusing, not-so-obvious social guidelines and
bolstering confidence, all at once. Finally, teens can play the
game of life with instructions. The 10th Anniversary Edition of The
(Secret) Book of Social Rules reveals the essential secrets behind
the baffling social codes surrounding making and keeping friends,
dating, and catastrophic conversation pitfalls, with all-new
content on social media and talking about neurodiversity. It's no
wonder Jennifer's is the navigation tool tens of thousands of fans
have come to love! Full of brand-new funny illustrations,
take-it-from-me explanations, and comic strip examples, this Book
of the Year award winner is real, positive, and speaks from the
heart (without ever sounding like your mother's guide to manners).
It's confidence, humor, and smarts. For the Human Spectrum.

This appealing brother and sister duo spend a lot of their day
together, eating meals, going to school and playing. But life with
an autistic sibling is not always easy. Through the eyes of the
brother, we find out how they are both very different, but also
very similar in other ways, and come what may they have lots of fun
together and love each other just the same. This is a touching book
that will strike a chord with every family with siblings,
especially where one is differently abled.
"Presenting a cartographic journey into the world of the
production(s) of disability, this book examines embodiment,
transhumanism, subjectivity, technology and jurisprudence. It
concerns matters of order/disorder and the normal and pathological,
and explores the way stories about wholeness, health, enhancement
and perfection are told"--Provided by publisher.
The instruction book that didn't come with your child. A
comprehensive guide to being the best parent you can be, connecting
and communicating in a conscious and confident way with your
children, so that you can both enjoy a great relationship and you
can help them shine their unique brilliance in the world. This is a
new paradigm, exploring the importance of energetic communication
and kinetic parenting with concepts, philosophies, strategies and
ideas drawn from NLP, hypnotherapy, spiritual practices and the
latest brain and heart research which reveals that we are
communicating far more to our children than we think we are.
