For Parents, Educators, Pediatricians, and Mental Health
Professionals. Based on dozens of intensive interviews with
parents, clinical psychologists, teachers, and more, Meltdown is
the fictional story of Benjamin, a boy diagnosed with Asperger's
disorder and additional challenging behavior. From the time
Benjamin is a toddler, his parents know he is different: he doesn't
play with his sister, refuses to make eye contact, and doesn't seem
to understand how to communicate with others. And his tantrums are
not like normal tantrums; they're violent meltdowns that will
eventually make regular schooling-and day-to-day life-impossible.
From first clues to diagnosis, navigating the special education
system to securing expert help, Benjamin's parents must become his
greatest advocates. Together, they learn that the journey toward
hope isn't simple-but with the right tools and teammates, it's
possible. This book is part of the ORP Library of disability books.

Based on dozens of intensive interviews with parents, clinical
psychologists, teachers, and more, Melting Down is the illustrated
fictional story of Benjamin, a boy diagnosed with Asperger's
disorder and additional challenging behavior. From the time
Benjamin is a toddler, he knows he is different: he doesn't
understand social and emotional cues, does not know how to play
with his sister or other children, and dislikes making eye contact.
And his tantrums are not like normal tantrums; they're meltdowns
that will eventually make regular schooling-and day-to-day
life-impossible. Told from Benjamin's perspective, Melting Down
gives a unique glimpse into the journey taken by children with
Asperger's disorder and additional challenging behavior,
demonstrating that the path toward hope isn't simple-but with the
right tools and teammates, it's possible.
Based on dozens of intensive interviews with parents, clinical
psychologists, teachers, therapists, and more, An Unlikely Trust is
the fictional story of Alina, a young girl adopted from Russia.
After a lengthy adoption process, Alina's parents are confounded by
their daughter's behavior upon arriving in America. They were aware
that she did not speak English and expected some developmental
delay, but they did not foresee that the tiny four-year-old would
hoard her food, deeply mistrust affection from others, and fail to
initiate or respond to most social situations. Most concerning,
though, are Alina's rages. When she is frightened, overwhelmed, or
confused, Alina lashes out with the strength and stamina of a
person many times her size, leading to injury, property
destruction, and eventually police intervention and
hospitalization. Alina's parents know that their daughter needs
help-more than they can provide-and work endlessly on her behalf.
From seeking a diagnosis to advocating for special education
services, from keeping Alina safe to discovering her strengths, her
parents become her biggest champions. They know there is hope for
Alina-and their family-and will not stop their quest until that
hope is realized. This book is part of the ORP Library series of
disabilities books.
