    The message for me is “listen to parents”. They have a wealth of advice to share”. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Director of the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University Your questions about autism answered! What would you ask a parent who has lived through the rollercoaster of the early years of autism? Why does my child have autism? Will my child speak? How do I improve my child’s diet? What is the best school for my special needs child? How do you cope? These are questions Alice wanted to ask when both her sons were diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. Feeling alone, feeling lost, Alice set out to find the answers. This book brings the real life experience of the early years of autism together in an easy-to-read question and answer style, that any parent, carer or professional supporting a child with autism needs to know. This is not a textbook. This is real life. Alice is a passionate advocate for autism awareness as a public speaker and in the media. She is also a volunteer for autism and disability charities.

With this workbook as your guide, you’ll be ready to face your diagnosis head-on, and take those important first steps toward lasting wellness.

    Bruce Goldberg a prominent hypnotherpist chronicles a practice that has led hundredsof patients on dramatic voyagesof self-discovery through not only centuries past but also centuries to come. He discloses here, the rapture and revelation of the soul's migration from life to life.

And often, they awake to find their present-day lives transformed. From the Paperback edition.

    Laura M. Ahearn shows that young Nepalese people are applying their newly acquired literacy skills to love-letter writing, fostering a transition that involves not only a shift in marriage rituals, but also a change in how villagers conceive of their own ability to act and attribute responsibility for events. These developments have potential ramifications that extend far beyond the realm of marriage and well past the Himalayas.The love-letter correspondences examined by Ahearn also provide a deeper understanding of the social effects of literacy. While the acquisition of literary skills may open up new opportunities for some individuals, such skills can also impose new constraints, expectations, and disappointments. The increase in female literacy rates in Junigau in the 1990s made possible the emergence of new courtship practices and facilitated self-initiated marriages, but it also reinforced certain gender ideologies and undercut some avenues to social power, especially for women. Scholars, and students in such fields as anthropology, women's studies, linguistics, development studies, and South Asian studies will find this book ethnographically rich and theoretically insightful. Laura M. Ahearn is Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Rutgers University.
