A quick and informative read on just how much is fact and how much is fiction when it comes to autism. These days autism can be found in many a soap storyline or in the national press, but just how much of it is actually true? Perfect for family, friends or teachers, this e-book highlights myths commonly believed to be true when actually they could not be more false. A short and to-the-point read, no one has the excuse to say they didn't have time to read it. Written by two neurodivergent authors, educate those around you on what autism really is without breaking your bank balance.

We asked our readers what's hard about parenting autistic and ADHD children, and lots of them said handling challenging behaviour is tough! So, we made this simple eBook to help people learn about why neurodivergent kids might act out. Sometimes, it's not defiance - it's their way of dealing with changes or how they feel.

This eBook discusses five things: communication, sensory processing, changes in routine, nervousness in social situations, and feeling ill. All these things can make people think a child is being difficult, but often, that's not what's really going on.

Whether you’ve ever wondered if you might be somewhere on the autism spectrum or find yourself in the company of those who do, this book is for you. It’s a companion for the curious, the ones who wonder whether the quirks and qualities they carry are threads in the larger tapestry of the spectrum. It's everything I know about living your best life on the autism spectrum!

Friendships. Family. Partners. Neighbours. Colleagues. Coffee Baristas. The best bits of life usually involve other people. Yet, if socialisation is the defining hallmark of the human species, then to be born with the key social differences of autism is about as (cruelly? ironically?) dis-abling as it gets.

This is where Ben Aadario (real-life autistic, and author of ‘The Rules of Being Autistic’ series) offers a unique advantage to the curious (and brave) autistic reader – in explaining the wealth of everyday ‘invisible’ mechanics of socialisation. Clarifying all the unvoiced truths that caregivers forgot to teach, Ben Aadario adopts a stance akin to a social anthropologist, zoologist or even curious visiting alien.

In ""Awakening to Autism,"" I, author, Kirbington West take readers on a journey through my own experiences living with autism. From struggling to communicate effectively to navigating social situations, I offer straightforward insight and practical advice for individuals on the autism spectrum.

Growing up, I felt stupid. Oh, so stupid. Like I didn’t fit in. It was as if I’d been dropped in to suburbia from another planet, an alien. Perhaps if I had had a major meltdown I would have flagged the help I desperately needed. But, no, I suffered. I felt so alone, lost. There was no-one else like me. I hid behind a mask and adhered to society norms of being a “male-worker-robot-person” in middle-class society. Fortunately (or not) I was able to mask really well, and hide myself away. I built a life, a job, a house, had a child, all the usual things people aspire to. On the surface, all was normal, I just thought I was different, not less, just different, but didn’t know why. I could never understand the way people reacted to me. I was being nice, but still they didn’t like me, as if I had hurt someone close to them..

Have you heard applied behavior analysis (ABA) touted as the gold standard for autism treatment? Are you equipped with the facts to confidently challenge the industry's ""gold standard"" narrative?

As I write this book, I want to clarify right now as I do this for you all to enjoy the read that I'm no medical doctor, I'm your normal Jo Blogs, sharing my lived experiences as a young autistic female who's now recently been diagnosed with ADHD on September 12, 2022. If you see any signs or symptoms based on the everyday topics that I've shared in the past or present, don't be afraid to ask for help, as you're not alone, and do seek professional advice or medical attention, as I don't condone self-harm. I would advise any of you who are struggling right now to seek professional help from a medical team as soon as possible.

I, Kerrin Maclean, don't provide any medical advice or legal advice for that matter, nor do I provide any legal advice or services. I instead provide general information about autism and mental health as a service to the communities I'm in and share my everyday life experiences that I go through on a daily basis as an autistic and female with ADHD.

This book is about my views on spirituality, my experiences with spirituality and spiritual encounters, and about me in general, even about my journey so far, I even added my encounter with a fierce and powerful goddess that had ultimately helped me on my journey even when I didn't know it, because I find it all beautiful as well as bizarre to see that all sorts of beings are very helpful, beings that didn't want to use me but still supported my cause of writing and sharing my experiences because I know one day people will see this, for now I am still doing what I do best, writing about anything including spirituality... There are also truths about my family too, but for that... you all should read and see for yourselves
