Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fat Stupid Kid: A Collection of Short Stories By: David A. Sparks We’ve all had not-so-bright moments, moments of misunderstanding, confusion, and basic stupidity. The Fat Stupid Kid: A Collection of Short Stories highlights a delightful set of comical exploits, learning experiences, and familial relationships. The author hopes that the reader would not only experience laughter when reading but also take the lessons learned and use them in their own life. This message is especially relevant today because we need something at which to laugh. The life lessons that the author shares are still needed for today’s youth. This is not a politically correct book. The humor is self-effacing. Some readers might find fault at this self-depreciating humor, but the author says, “I love me, all of me, and I am very comfortable in my skin.” Readers should be also. It is okay to laugh at yourself. God made you the way you are for a purpose. Maybe that purpose is to make others smile. That is the author’s great joy.

Younger about a small Midwestern town filled with cute girls, Friday night football games, and life lessons that stir up some major drama and fun. To everyone who knows him, David Dawson is your stereotypical nerd, the good kid who has a great family life and good friends. A cute girl, way out of his league--according to his friends--leads him astray. His sudden shift to hanging out with the wrong crowd sends him spiraling into teenage depression and upsets his best friends. It all comes to a sudden end when a girl at a party he throws almost dies. It is his crucible. Crucible is a great word. It means to go through a severe test. For David, it means he must take responsibility for his actions. He is sent to his uncle's farm for the summer to get his life back on track. What he doesn't know is his uncle John has a degree in child psychology. With a combination of hard work and long talks, he begins to pull his life back together. When he returns from his exile, he's changed. He is no longer the slightly pudgy-looking nerd due to a growth spurt and hard work on the farm. His best friend, Tami Glade, isn't quite sure what to make of her 'stupid boy.' Before he was sent to the farm, she'd screamed at him out of frustration that she never wanted to see him again. David has changed. He is suddenly popular, way too handsome for his own good, and going out for football. The changes aren't just physical. He seems more confident and focused. He even has Life Goals. Tami isn't quite sure what to make of the new David. Her 'stupid boy' of a best friend has been transformed into a hunk. The problem is, he doesn't realize it, and she isn't sure if they should be just friends, or more.

Book excerpt: There are many guys out there suffering with the nice guy syndrome, really lots of men. And the reason why so many men suffer from this disease, which brainwashes them with totally false ideas on women, is related to the media, falsehoods spread, fundamentally, by feminists, and even bad parenthood. Many men actually believe that women will love them more if they’re friendly and nice. And well, while being a total douchebag isn’t socially acceptable, there’s more gold into it than anyone would ever like to make you believe. And even though I don’t consider myself a douchebag, I did have to interview the best ones I ever met to get further information on how to be a bad boy. This book is based on a compilation of interviews made to three of the greatest douchebags I ever met. All of the interviewed players were dating multiple women at the same time, had a fulfilling sex life, and were able to pull in super hot women, and mostly super models. Now, none of them looks very impressive or even super handsome, and that’s exactly what makes them interesting. They seem like any regular guy you could meet out there, and yet, they know things that nobody does. Two of them are married and were married at the time of this interview, and cheated on their gorgeous wives. That’s precisely what makes them such interesting characters. Their thoughts on women are so unique that this book will make you think quite a lot about their conclusions. But foremost, what you will read here will change you for life, and make you understand what it really means to be a bad boy, what it means not to be nice but be wanted and loved by every women at the same time. You will finally find here the biggest secret to why women love bad boys so much and why they’re so addicted to them.

Download or read book Appreciating Asperger Syndrome written by Brenda Boyd and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with Asperger Syndrome have many characteristics that are frequently seen in a negative light. Brenda Boyd shows that for every characteristic of AS that can be looked at negatively, there are several positive aspects that can be drawn on and developed. Discussing AS in general terms, she talks through the reasons why people with AS approach life in the way they do, and what an enormous contribution they make to the world. She then explores different characteristics of AS; while she acknowledges the negative perception so many people have of these characteristics, she points out the large number of advantages to the Aspergers way of thinking for individuals with AS, those around them and society as a whole. For every negative, Boyd proves there are many more positives. From their refreshing honesty to their originality and potential to become leaders rather than followers, people with AS have many admirable personality traits that should be nurtured. This book shows that by adjusting our perceptions of what is 'normal' and embracing diversity, AS can not only be understood and accepted, but appreciated. Appreciating Asperger Syndrome is a celebration of AS which should be read by individuals with AS, family members, and anyone who knows or works professionally with individuals with AS.

Download or read book A Disease Called Childhood written by Marilyn Wedge and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising new look at the rise of ADHD in America, arguing for a better paradigm for diagnosing and treating our children In 1987, only 3 percent of American children were diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. By 2000, that number jumped to 7 percent, and in 2014 the number rose to an alarming 11 percent. To combat the disorder, two thirds of these children, some as young as three years old, are prescribed powerful stimulant drugs like Ritalin and Adderall to help them cope with symptoms. Meanwhile, ADHD rates have remained relatively low in other countries such as France, Finland, and the United Kingdom, and Japan, where the number of children diagnosed with and medicated for ADHD is a measly 1 percent or less. Alarmed by this trend, family therapist Marilyn Wedge set out to understand how ADHD became an American epidemic. If ADHD were a true biological disorder of the brain, why was the rate of diagnosis so much higher in America than it was abroad? Was a child's inattention or hyperactivity indicative of a genetic defect, or was it merely the expression of normal behavior or a reaction to stress? Most important, were there alternative treatments that could help children thrive without resorting to powerful prescription drugs? In an effort to answer these questions, Wedge published an article in Psychology Today entitled "Why French Kids Don't Have ADHD" in which she argued that different approaches to therapy, parenting, diet, and education may explain why rates of ADHD are so much lower in other countries. In A Disease Called Childhood, Wedge examines how myriad factors have come together, resulting in a generation addictied to stimulant drugs, and a medical system that encourages diagnosis instead of seeking other solutions. Writing with empathy and dogged determination to help parents and children struggling with an ADHD diagnosis, Wedge draws on her decades of experience, as well as up-to-date research, to offer a new perspective on ADHD. Instead of focusing only on treating symptoms, she looks at the various potential causes of hyperactivity and inattention in children and examines behavioral and environmental, as opposed to strictly biological, treatments that have been proven to help. In the process, Wedge offers parents, teachers, doctors, and therapists a new paradigm for child mental health--and a better, happier, and less medicated future for American children

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: of older children, adults, and the family unit as a whole. These moral evaluations are, in turn, influenced by such external contingencies as popula tion demography, social and economic factors, subsistence strategies, house hold composition, and by cultural ideas concerning the nature of infancy and childhood, definitions of personhood, and beliefs about the soul and its immortality. MOTHER LOVE AND CHILD DEATH Of all the many factors that endanger the lives of young children, by far the most difficult to examine with any degree of dispassionate objectivity is the quality of parenting. Historians and social scientists, no less than the public at large, are influenced by old cultural myths about childhood inno cence and mother love as well as their opposites. The terrible power and significance attributed to maternal behavior (in particular) is a commonsense perception based on the observation that the human infant (specialized as it is for prematurity and prolonged dependency) simply cannot survive for very long without considerable maternal love and care. The infant's life depends, to a very great extent, on the good will of others, but most especially, of course, that of the mother. Consequently, it has been the fate of mothers throughout history to appear in strange and distorted forms. They may appear as larger than life or as invisible; as all-powerful and destructive; or as helpless and angelic. Myths of the maternal instinct compete, historically, witli -myths of a universal infanticidal impulse.

Book excerpt: Faux Queen: A Life in Drag is the memoir of a ballet-obsessed girl who moves to San Francisco from the suburbs and finds her people at the drag club. It joyously chronicles Monique Jenkinson’s creation of her drag persona Fauxnique, the people and cultural practices that crash her identity into being, her journey through one of the most experimental moments in queer cultural history, and her rise through the nightlife underground to become the first cisgender woman crowned as a major pageant-winning drag queen. Jenkinson finds authenticity through the glee of drag artifice and articulation through the immediacy of performing bodies. She pens a valentine to gay men and their culture while relaying the making of an open-minded feminist and queer ally. Faux Queen finds deep healing in irreverence and posits that it might be possible for us to come together in fabulous difference on the dance floor.

Download or read book Communication Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome written by Olʹga Bogdashina and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a theoretical foundation for understanding communication and language impairments specific to autism, Olga Bogdashina explores the effects of different perceptual and cognitive styles on the communication and language development of autistic children. She stresses the importance of identifying each autistic individual's nonverbal language - which can be visual, tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory, olfactory or gustatory - with a view to establish a shared means of verbal communication. She offers an explanation of why certain approaches, for example PECS, might work with some autistic children but not others. Offering real insights, the `What They Say' sections enable the reader to see through the eyes of autistic individuals and to understand their language differences first hand. `What We Can Do to Help' sections throughout the book give practical recommendations on what to do in order to help autistic individuals use their natural mechanisms to learn and develop social and communicative skills. The final chapters are devoted to assessment and intervention issues with practical recommendations for selecting appropriate methods and techniques to enhance communication, based on the specific mode of communication a person uses.
