This story speaks to children who are close to a child with autism; a brother, sister, cousin, friend or classmate. It explains how we are all different to each other, and how the sibling has special powers, which help them in the trickier moments where the child might feel rejection or find it hard to deal with a meltdown. With an air of magic running through the story, it is positive and empowering and encourages the child to use their special powers to make their dreams come true. The Superhero Heart is written by a mother with first hand experience of what it takes to raise two very different children in a family with autism. The story was initially only intended to be for her son, to help him understand his brother better, but has since turned in to a book available for everyone to share with their children. To help your child relate to the message in this story, the book is available with a number of different characters. The book is part of a series, and if your family is living with autism, you may also want to take a look at Christel Land's other title "The Superhero Brain", which explains autism to the autistic child in the same empowering, magical way.

We are all living a Superhero's Journey, each Soul playing out their own individual starring role. Anyone who is touched by Autism (in any capacity) will understand that their Superhero Journey may be different, the 'road less travelled' so to speak. This book is for you, the Superhero's Superhero. The journey begins with an open perspective of one mother's life as an 'Autism Parent'. Yes, the contents are highly anecdotal - the stories are told with vulnerability and heart... but this book is also very much about you. With brute honesty and humour, you're taken on an interactive journey of self-discovery as well as gaining spiritual insights and techniques to help connect with, balance and communicate with your Precious Ones (from a heart space of integrity and love). The overall scope of the book is that you will be able to recognise some alternative perspectives to this complex (and often misunderstood) diagnosis, as well as the importance of self-care and balance for care-givers and parents. You'll find yourself on a mission: exploring the Divine nature of the experiences in your life and learn why the impact you have on your children is truly remarkable. You'll be reminded of your blissful, peaceful nature. You're guided to recognising and feeling the presence and awareness that you are a Sparkling Soul - your purpose here, right now... is heroic. You are The Chosen One.

Harness the Therapeutic Power of the Superhero! Application of the Star Wars Adoption Narrative Emotional Literacy and the Incredible Hulk Batman and Trauma What Would Superman Do--An Adlerian Approach? With an incisive historical foreword by John Shelton Lawrence and insight from contributors such as Michael Brody, Patty Scanlon, and Roger Kaufman, Lawrence Rubin takes us on a dynamic tour of the benefits of using these icons of popular culture and fantasy in counseling and play therapy. Not only can superheroes assist in clinical work with children, but Rubin demonstrates how they can facilitate growth and change with teen and adults. Early childhood memories of how we felt pretending to have the power to save the world or our families in the face of impending danger still resonate in our adult lives, making the use of superheroes attractive as well, to the creative counselor. In presenting case studies and wisdom gleaned from practicing therapists' experience, Lawrence Rubin shows how it is possible to uncover children's secret identities, assist treatment of adolescents with sexual behavior problems, and inspire the journey of individuation for gay and lesbian clients, all by paying attention to our intrinsic social need for superhero fantasy and play.
