Fiction allows the author to explore different perspectives and add poignancy to the experiences of sensory sensitivity and being bullied and teased of someone who has Aspergers syndrome. The title Delightfully Different describes Aspergers syndrome but also the qualities of this novel. Tony Attwood, world renowned psychologist and author of The Complete Guide to Aspergers Syndrome Ben Long, a successful Hawaiian pediatrician, and his wife Francesca have high hopes for their first child...born with Aspergers syndrome...Walker does a remarkable job illuminating Mias offbeat perspective from within; she makes it more a personality than an affliction...Walker dispels much of the mystery of Aspergers kids while revealing the richness and promise of their lives.

Just as her family finally realizes that Mia is battling sensory sensitivity issues, she is bullied in fifth grade. After Mias school counselor causes her to feel like the guilty one, Mia struggles to forgive those who, through their own ignorance, have hurt her. Delightfully Different shares a poignant glimpse into the life and mind of a girl with Aspergers Syndrome who demonstrates through her compelling experiences that every life has a purpose and that being unique is what makes each of us special.

Download or read book The Merola s written by Alice J. Adessio and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, “THE MEROLA’S” is the story of my ancestors including both my maternal and paternal grandparents and their voyage to America on the same ship. It provides current and future generations of our family with both the Petrizzi and the Merola Family Trees. It also gives a little information about the Adessio family. It covers seven generations of my family, contains little snippets of their life and many photographs and documents of the families through the ages. It includes an illustration of the S.S. Neustria on which they traveled fromItaly toAmerica, highlighting part of the ship’s manifest. The book contains photographs fromItaly and theUnited States over a period of nearly one hundred twenty-five years, from 1890 to 2012. My maternal grandfather and his two cousins arrived in America in 1886. They found the streets were not paved in gold, but they could earn a good living and support a family here. After two years they returned to Italyto find wives and came back to America in 1890 with their new brides. This book is their story. I had for many years wanted to create a family tree for the young people in the family, many of whom live out of state, those who as you spoke to them, usually said, “Who are you speaking about. Are they related, and if so, how are they related?” I created an extensive Family Tree. I went back seven generations, beginning in Italy and culmination in the United States. I decided that I wanted to tell the young people a little bit about their ancestors, so I included mini-biographies of my grandparents, aunts and uncles and some of my cousins who are no longer with us. I also included some short stories about them. At this point, I decided the younger members of the family now knew where they fitted in the family, and a little bit about their relative’s lives, but they couldn’t visualize what these people looked like, so I included photographs of these ancestors. I was able to collaborate with two of my cousins. I wrote the bios of the relatives and e-mailed them to these cousins and my sister for their clarification of what I had written. I had copies of documents and many photos of the family which I included. I then called my sister, making her crazy saying, “Momma had a photograph of so and so, and it looked like this, see if you can find it and mail it to me.” She always did. The information in this book was not obtained using Ancestory.com, which is not the most reliable source; rather, the stories and facts were handed down to us by our aunts and uncles over the years and as we recalled some of our experiences growing up. It depicts the life of a family of Italian immigrants, their pursuit of citizenship, the hardships and the challenges they faced. In reading the book you can see how times and concepts change, as well as the struggles of our ancestors and how they handled adversity and dealt with any obstacles they encountered. It shows how with perseverance and determination they prospered and became valued citizens. These people, my relatives, became doctors, lawyers, a District Attorney, clothing designers, pharmacists, CPAs, and a U.N. Representative to name a few. There were also many teachers, bookkeepers, business owners and managers, builders, architects, photo-engravers and engineers. It took me about two years to complete this project and deal with a publisher, but I finally achieved my goal. I had my book published, purchased the quantity I required and upon receiving the copies, sent them to all of my relatives and gave a few copies to close friends. It truly was a labor of love. It was very gratifying to receive notes, letters, phone calls and e-mails from my cousin&

Download or read book Standing in the Shadows of Street Legends written by Vernon Lucas and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have heard it said that we all shall pay for the sins of the father. Someone once told me that when the next generation has it rough, its because they are reaping what the generation before them has sowed. This is what Creole people would call Blood Magic in the Basement (or so Ive been told). I am Vernon Lucas II and my father was a kingpin in the heroin drug trade. I cant say that my adult life has been easy, but at least as a child I never really wanted for anything. Ive been told that since my family has helped to poison many people in America with illegal drugs, that I was cursed to suffer in my adult life for their sins. I almost believed that for a time. I felt very restless in my adult life and very few goals that I set for myself ever worked out for me. I felt ashamed and even embarrassed by my family, until I began to research the reasons why they did what they did in the first place. My father and his brothers came from very humble beginnings. His mother, my Grandmother was a field hand/housewife and her husband, my Grandfather was a share cropper as well as a bootlegger. They lived, loved and struggled in the segregated south of the early 1900s. There have been rumors about how mean my Grandfather was, but by the time I had to live with him he was much kinder and gentler. My Fathers brother, Frank Lucas was at least 20 years older than he was, so it was natural for him to look up to my Uncle Frank as not only an older brother but also as somewhat of a Father figure. Frank left home at a very early age to make his own way in life and turned to a life of crime out of necessity. He became one of the best at what he did. It was just a matter of time before my father eventually followed in his footsteps. I am by no means condoning what they did in the 60s & 70s I just want to let it be known that they were not Harvard Educated, to say the least and they felt that they didnt have much choice in what they did. To follow their American dream, they sold narcotics and cut out the middle man in doing so. This allowed them to sell it very pure and inexpensive. Needless to say, it pissed a lot of people off. Once they made their fortune, they invested within their community, gave an economic boost to many minorities across America, as well as paying back taxes and saving the homes of certain celebrities. These were only some of the positive things that they accomplished. The real story is that of the Country Boys. Even though there wouldnt be any Country Boys without the help of my Uncle Frank. The Country Boys and Frank Lucas were 2 completely separate entities. It took the help of the Country boys to expand Frank Lucas empire and even though it started out with number running and narcotics, it eventually became so much more. My father, Vernon (Shorty) Lucas Sr. helped run the Country Boys and with the help of his brothers he was able to pull his family and everyone he knew out of obscurity and poverty. Frank wasnt very proud of what he felt he had to do to make a living so he lied to his mother and told her that he was a business man. When he brought her up north from North Carolina he Lived in New York and set his Parents and most of his siblings up in Northern New Jersey. This autobiographical tale gives firsthand insight on what it was actually like growing up in such a household. I have decided to share at least the first 30 years of my life to show exactly what I personally went through as the son of an American Gangster. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me and I cannot determine which came first; the chicken or the egg. Meaning: Was my lifes emotional instability inherited, or was it caused by the way I had to live? You be the judge. I am hoping this autobiography serves some as a manual as well as entertainment through self education. So in synopsis, what Im trying to convey is that the Lucas family is so much more than this gangster image

Download or read book The Long Way Home written by Odell Richardson Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Long Way "Home" The Testimony, is a first of its kind from the inner-city streets of Baltimore, Maryland. This narrative, non-fiction story is NOT a glorification of the dispair that plagues many urban districts throughout our country, but it is an informative, intense, detailed, urban centerpiece, that goes against conventional wisdom of what society may believe about the inner-city and many of its occupants. This story bridges a gap many believed could not be. It's a unique approach to the harsh realities of the streets, and to life as a whole. It's a story about change, decisions, and consequences. This is one man's story. It's an urban story about God. This is certainly not a street tale, lacking depth; one without significant meaning or positive goals. This story is about family, trials, perseverance, love, God, life, and its purpose. This read will erase any doubt, and convince all, that anything is possible for anyone. The author assures us all that this is a story told with two main goals in mind; to Glorify God, and to strive for a good future while loving every human being along the way.
