Autistic and with very low verbal fluency, Naoki used an alphabet grid to painstakingly spell out his answers to the questions he imagines others most often wonder about him: why do you talk so loud? Is it true you hate being touched? Would you like to be normal? The result is an inspiring, attitude-transforming book that will be embraced by anyone interested in understanding their fellow human beings, and by parents, caregivers, teachers, and friends of autistic children. Naoki examines issues as diverse and complex as self-harm, perceptions of time and beauty, and the challenges of communication, and in doing so, discredits the popular belief that autistic people are anti-social loners who lack empathy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is mesmerizing proof that inside an autistic body is a mind as subtle, curious, and caring as anyone else's.","brand":"Naoki Higashida","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":42426505298080,"sku":"9780345807809","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/products\/BNCImageAPI_1bb7fc98-33f8-4595-837f-bcac390d97bf.jpg?v=1660505776"},{"product_id":"9780307362797","title":"The Spark","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary memoir of a mother's love, commitment and nurturing, which allowed her son, originally diagnosed with severe autism, to flourish into a universally recognized genius--and how any parent can help their child find their spark.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eToday, at 13, Jacob is a paid researcher in quantum physics, working on extending Einstein's theory of relativity.

We need more than new communication skills and an understanding of our differences to have healthy relationships these days. We also need the nutritional support necessary for positive moods, sustained energy and most importantly, focus. Without focus, communication breaks down in all relationships and frustration increases. Without focus in romantic relationships, passion is lost and there is an increase in breakups and divorces. Without focus at work, people are increasingly dissatisfied and bored, often feeling unappreciated, distracted, exhausted or overwhelmed. Without focus, our lives lose purpose, we are easily distracted, forgetting what we are here for or never realizing what is most important in life. In the midst of our accelerated progress, our modern society has lost our way. We have a greater consciousness of new possibilities but we feel less connected in our relationships due to our loss of focus. John Gray has devoted the past 20 years to researching mental health and its effect on our relationships. He has reviewed thousands of medical studies and traveled the world to find ancient remedies for improving one’s mind, mood and focus. Staying Focused In A Hyper World: Natural Solutions For ADHD, Memory And Brain Performance shares these findings and offers practical strategies for increasing focus, clarity, memory, motivation and sustaining positive moods. Gray explains what causes ADHD in children and how it is the underlying cause for many health issues later in life, including dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease and even Parkinson’s Disease. He details the varied forms of ADHD, from hyperactivity to daydreaming and he provides step-by-step protocols for treating a number of common ailments with natural supplements and lifestyle changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Gray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56782893744288,"sku":"9780990346807","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/9780990346807.jpg?v=1772237159"},{"product_id":"9781462542673","title":"Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete, Authoritative Guide for Parents","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe leading parent resource about attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its treatment has now been revised and updated with the latest information and resources.
