Amacom The Un-Prescription for Autism: A Natural Approach for a Calmer, Happier, and More Focused Child
Winner of the Gold Nautilus Award in Psychology - Winner of the Gold Readers Favorite Award in General Non-fiction Dr. Janet Lintala--founder of the Autism Health center and an autism mom herself--shares simple, step-by-step non-prescription protocols used in her practice to dramatically improve the function and well-being of autistic children and adults. Perhaps you've wondered if the common approach to treating autism is the healthiest path. Well-meaning doctors often target the common symptoms of autism individually with prescription medications. While there's nothing wrong with using medications appropriately, this symptom-suppression approach leaves the underlying medical problems unaddressed. Moreover, these medications often come with side effects that can worsen the situation for your child. If left to simmer beneath the surface for long enough, such side effects can develop into chronic illnesses down the road. Supporting these overlooked conditions appropriately and holistically can bring transformative results. Drawing on the latest research developments, as well as personal and clinical experience, Dr. Author: Janet Lintala Publisher: Amacom Pages: 304 ISBN: 9780814436639 (Paperback) Ships separately from our book distribution partner by USPS Media Mail.

Harmony Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity
A deep dive into the spectrum of Autistic experience and the phenomenon of masked Autism, giving individuals the tools to safely uncover their true selves while broadening society's narrow understanding of neurodiversity "A remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement."--Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP, author of Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless "masked" Autistic people who pass as neurotypical. Masking is a common coping mechanism in which Autistic people hide their identifiably Autistic traits in order to fit in with societal norms, adopting a superficial personality at the expense of their mental health. This can include suppressing harmless stims, papering over communication challenges by presenting as unassuming and mild-mannered, and forcing themselves into situations that cause severe anxiety, all so they aren't seen as needy or "odd." In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares his personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty.

Da Capo Lifelong Books Playground Politics: Understanding the Emotional Life of the School-Age Child
The scary, exciting, dramatic, and often heart-rending experiences of grade school are a critical time in a child's life, with emotional milestones every bit as important as those of the first few years. Yet expert advice to parents usually stops short at the kindergarten door. Now, for the first time, Stanley Greenspan, M.D., one of this country's preeminent child development authorities, offers a "road map" to the stages of normal emotional development during the years from five to twelve. At first, still sheltered in the family, children are full of expansive and grand fantasies as well as fears: "the world is my oyster." Harsh "playground politics" change all this; buffeted by rivalries, pecking orders, triumphs, and rejections, children measure themselves in relation to classmates and peers. Then, between about ten and twelve, children begin to discover an inner center of gravity, an independent self-image that will be vital - and tested again - in adolescence. All these accomplishments, these expectations, this turmoil, of course, are brought home. With vivid stories and deep understanding, Dr. Greenspan helps parents deal with the typical issues that arise: aggression, rivalry, vulnerable self-esteem, late-blooming talents, learning difficulties, problems with reality and fantasy, and early sexuality.

New Harbinger Publications Children of the Self-Absorbed: A Grown-Up's Guide to Getting Over Narcissistic Parents (Third Edition, Revised)
Do you have a self-absorbed or narcissistic parent who's made you feel rejected, unloved, or unworthy? Being a parent is usually all about giving of yourself to foster your child's growth and development. But what happens when this isn't the case? Some parents dismiss the needs of their children, asserting their own instead, demanding attention and reassurance from even very young children. This may especially be the case when a parent has narcissistic tendencies or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). This fully revised and updated edition of a self-help classic offers a step-by-step approach to resolving conflict and building a meaningful relationship with a narcissistic parent. Children of the Self-Absorbed offers clear definitions of narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder to help you identify the extent of your parent's problem. You'll learn the different types of destructive narcissism and how to recognize their effects on your relationships. Packed with proven techniques, you'll realize that you're not helpless against your parent's behavior, and that you don't have to give up on the relationship. Instead, you'll find realistic strategies and steps for setting up mutually agreed upon behaviors, so you can fulfill your own emotional needs.
