Not only is her romantic life a shambles: her dad is eating nothing but Cheetos; her mother's got a piglet head in the refrigerator; Hutch has gone to Paris to play baguette air guitar; Gideon shows up shirtless; and the pygmy goat Robespierre is no help whatsoever...Will Ruby ever control her panic attacks? Will she ever understand boys? Will she ever stop making lists? (No to that last one.) Ruby has lost most of her friends. She's lost her true love, more than once. She's lost her grandmother, her job, her reputation, and possibly her mind. But she's never lost her sense of humor. The Ruby Oliver books are the record of her survival...

And his reputation continues to grow.Caldecott Medal winner Allen Say, author of the acclaimed memoir Drawing from Memory, takes readers through an imagined look at Castle's childhood, allows them to experience his emergence as an artist despite the overwhelming difficulties he faced, and ultimately reveals the triumphs that he would go on toachieve.

Gideon always has a plan. It includes running for class president, becoming head of the yearbook committee, and having his choice of colleges. It does NOT include falling head over heels for his best friend, Kyle. It’s a distraction, it’s pointless—Kyle is already dating the head cheerleader, Ruby—and Gideon doesn’t know what to do. Kyle finally feels like he has a handle on life. He has a wonderful girlfriend, a best friend willing to debate the finer points of Lord of the Rings, and social acceptance as captain of the basketball team. So when both Ruby and Gideon start acting really weird, just as his spot on the team is threatened, Kyle can’t quite figure out what he did wrong. Sandy Hall, the author of A Little Something Different, is back with her signature wit in this quirky and heartfelt LGBT YA novel.

This new and innovative book aims to investigate adult dyslexics and their long-term relationships, along with their journey through parenthood. The book begins by investigating adult dyslexics and their childhoods, looking at their emotional and behavioural coping strategies. These adults, with others from a website for adult dyslexics, look at the impact childhood trauma has on dating, then on marriage/long-term partners. A commissioned study interviewing long-term partners of dyslexics brings new perspective to understanding how dyslexia affects relationships and how they interact as parents. What seems clear from combining the many perspectives is that dyslexia has a distinctive effect on relationships, with communication being one of the greatest problems. Non-dyslexic partners seem to be attracted by the quirkiness that comes with dyslexia, and the dyslexic ability to think out of the box/being divergent thinkers. However the effects of dyslexia can also bring difficulties in reading social non-verbal clues, an inability to express oneself coherently, and the inabilities to converse with peers in general conversation. The research found that many dyslexic parents feel inhibited by school homework and interactions with school, creating an unbalanced weight on non-dyslexic partners to manage not only the home and finances, but all dealings with school. This extra burden can have a heavy impact on the survival of the relationship, and 'social exchange theory' is investigated with dyslexics. Dyslexia and careers are also investigated, with 'post-traumatic growth theory' used to explain why many dyslexics overcome extreme trauma in mainstream education, but still attain post-school at university and in business. This is an important theory that explains their resilience and motivation to succeed. The book ends with a comprehensive hints and tips section for dyslexics and their non-dyslexic partners to aid relationships, marriage and parenthood with both dyslexic and non-dyslexic children.

Copyrights page 150 Disclaimer Before you read any further, you should understand. I have dyslexia. It is a learning disability. I have no training in writing at all. Everything in this book, from cover to cover, is me. I am the writer, editor, cover designer, and I am in charge of sales. My stories come to me like little movies. That is the only point of view from which I can write. This style allows me to write. It is a style that is easy to follow. I sincerely thank you for reading my story, Dyslexia is a learning disability that affects about forty-five million people right here in the US, some 15% of the population, and millions more around the world. There is no cure for dyslexia. You only learn to live with it. Opening I had gone my whole life almost without telling anybody that I had dyslexia. For fear, I was the only one. For fear, I would be made fun of. Now, I know one out of every six people has some form of learning disability. It would be impossible for you not to know someone who has dyslexia. One out of every six people. With a story similar to mine. Understanding It is hard for people sometimes to understand exactly what my dyslexia is. Especially since it does not affect everybody in the same way. I am only going to speak about my dyslexia. I wanted to explain it to you. This comparison is the easiest way. If you have ever seen the movie Fifty Dates. With Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. In the movie, Drew's in an auto accident with injuries to the brain, and she loses her short-term memory. That is almost precisely what I have. I could meet you today. We can have lunch and a conversation. I will remember what we talked about. I will remember everything that we ordered. What the inside of the building looked like. What you were wearing. But I will not remember your name or even the date we met. I cannot remember any dates. I cannot remember names. For me, the letters and numbers all jump around on the page. It is the same thing when I am trying to write. I have to be very careful, especially on numbers. I just wanted you to understand what I am discussing in this book. I hope you enjoyed the read. Thank you, Author David F Anderson
