How comforting would it be for you to know that you can help your adult child live well after you are gone? I believe this knowledge would be a great relief to you-and that is why I wrote this book. When Brandon, my 40-year-old autistic son, said, "I don't know what I would do without you, Mom," I knew I had to create a detailed written plan for his future. I have created a comprehensive, step-by-step plan and a personalized Instructional Care Manual for you to complete so that others can take care of and help your child live well. I will show you how to find the right people "to stand in for you" by creating a network of supportive individuals who can assist and be an advocate for your child. My Step-In Parenting Network program (SIPN) will help you identify potential "step-in parents" who can continue to love and care for your child when you no longer can. I've also included detailed chapters on independence because what you do today to help your child reach maximum independence will affect the quality of the rest of his or her life. Working on "letting go" of a special needs adult child is a sensitive area that many parents are afraid to face head on. However, the more your child knows and can learn to do, one step at a time, the easier it will be for your son or daughter to continue on. We cannot pretend that our children will be magically taken care of in the future if we don't do something about it today. This is why the Instructional Care Manual (ICM) will be crucial for every child with special needs. It will follow them wherever they go for the rest of their lives. I wrote this book to inspire you to move forward, knowing that there are things you can do to ensure that your child is not alone or forgotten. By taking action now, you will feel as empowered and relieved as I have become. This book is your best opportunity to be heard and to help your adult child reach maximum independence and live the best life possible-while you are still here, and after you're gone. "Amalia Starr takes her readers by the hand and walks this journey with us with sensitivity and decades of wisdom. Every special needs parent should read this book, which deals with the reality that our children need to be prepared to outlive us. From tips on how to launch our adult children into the maximum level of independent living to planning for them to thrive after we have left this planet, this book has it all-encouragement, practical advice, and the forms to create a personalized Care Manual."

"This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It's also my love letter to autistic people. For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language." With a reporter's eye and an insider's perspective, Eric Garcia shows what it's like to be autistic across America. Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media's coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. His own life as an autistic person didn't look anything like that. He is Latino, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and works as a journalist covering politics in Washington D.C. Garcia realized he needed to put into writing what so many autistic people have been saying for years; autism is a part of their identity, they don't need to be fixed. In We're Not Broken, Garcia uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of all types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long.

"A feral child finds a family. An old bottle washes up with a note inside. A boy's stuffed elephant flies out the car window. Over two decades, Lane DeGregory's stories of ordinary people struggling with love and loss, pain and perseverance, have earned her a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing and enhanced the Tampa Bay (formerly St. Petersburg) Times's reputation for publishing pioneering literary nonfiction. DeGregory has also built a worldwide fan base not just among readers of the Times but among journalists and narrative writers of all stripes, who seek out her advice on how to find, report, and write compelling true narratives. This volume collects for the first time twenty-four of her best stories, each accompanied by behind-the-scenes notes about how she convinced that person to speak to her, got that memorable quote, built that evocative scene. The book's unique format makes it both an anthology for readers who love her stories and a guide to craft for those who want to write their own. It includes a foreword by Beth Macy, author of Dopesick, introducing readers who have not yet discovered DeGregory to her creative and inspiring body of work"--

Help remediate—and in some cases eliminate—autism and other developmental delays in young children, even in as little as 15 minutes a day with this toolkit of behavioral practices that can be taught at home. Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age, yet children are often not diagnosed until they are 4 or 5 years old. In Turn Autism Around, Dr. Mary Barbera explains why parents can't afford to worry and wait in long lines for evaluations and treatment while not knowing how to help their children. She empowers parents, caregivers, and early intervention professionals to regain hope and take back control with simple strategies to dramatically improve outcomes for their children. Dr. Barbera has created a new approach to teaching kids with developmental delays that uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) married with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use—whether or not their child has delays—to learn to teach communication skills, socialization strategies, as well as tackle sleep, eating, potty training, and behavior challenges in a positive, effective, and lasting way. Turn Autism Around is the first book of its kind that calls attention to an important fact: parents can make a tremendous impact on their child's development through behavioral practices taught at home, even in as little as 15 minutes a day. Her program shows these autism and developmental delays can be remediated, and in some cases, delays can be caught up altogether, if parents intervene while the child is young. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can change the trajectory of their child's and family's life.
