Rachael Lee Harris spent her early childhood locked in an autistic
fog until beginning her journey from a fragmented world to one in
which things began to make sense. Rachael’s determination to take
her place in society led her down many paths, from beauty therapist
to Catholic nun, from mother and wife to divorcee and working mom.
Today, she is a psychotherapist specializing in helping others on
the Autism Spectrum. Rachael’s story explores areas such as
schooling, family relationships, employment, travel, and faith
culminating in monastic life, motherhood, dating, and marriage.
Through her story, we get a more “rounded” positive vision of
how an autistic life can develop and insight into the benefits of
being “on the spectrum” alongside the very real picture of its
challenges. Addressing the culture of disability and negativity
that surrounds so much of the public perception of the Autism
Spectrum, Rachael presents a more moderate and perhaps more
objective assessment of her own life experiences, as well as the
potential for others on the Spectrum.

This superb collection of stories by some of today's finest genre
writers are each set along Britain's northern coast -- Whitby,
Scarborough and other traditional English seaside resorts -- where
tales both grim and delicious are forged.
Existential gratitude-gratitude for one's very existence or life as
a whole-is pervasive across the most influential human, cultural
and religious traditions. Weaving together analytic and
continental, as well as non-western and historical philosophical
perspectives, this volume explores the nexus of gratitude,
existence and God as an inter-subjective phenomenon for the first
time. A team of leading scholars introduce existential gratitude as
a perennially and characteristically human phenomenon, central to
the distinctive life of our species. Attention is given to the
conditions under which existence itself might be construed as
having a gift-like or otherwise gratitude-inducing character.
Drawing on a diversity of perspectives, chapters mark out new
territory in philosophical inquiry, addressing whether and in what
sense we ought to be grateful for our very existence. By analysing
gratitude, this collection makes a novel contribution to the
discourse on moral emotions, phenomenology, anti-natalism and
theology.
Drawing on the ancient tradition of contemplation, Reflective
Integration Therapy (TM) shows how mantra meditation and reflective
therapy can be used with clients with high functioning autism. The
Reflective Integration Therapy (TM) programme uses the cognitive
differences in those with autism, such as their innate capacity for
silence, withdrawal, intense focus and repetition as sources of
therapeutic healing. This manual introduces this fresh, unique
therapeutic approach, creating an essential resource for all
practitioners working in the field of autism. All the material for
twelve weekly sessions of therapy is included within the book.
