Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It isn't easy being eight years old and having an older brother whom other children often misunderstand. They don't realize that when he doesn't laugh at their jokes it's because he doesn't understand them. They don't know that when he doesn't speak to them or look at them it's because he doesn't know what to say or how to make eye contact. They don't realize that he behaves this way because he has something called Asperger's Syndrome. Sam knows that his brother Eric is different from him because his brain works differently. So, when the other children bully Eric, it makes Sam feel protective of him. But sometimes, when Eric behaves oddly, Sam feels embarrassed too. Sometimes, when Eric gets lots of attention, it makes Sam feel resentful - then, when he considers that Eric needs a lot of help and attention, it makes Sam feel guilty for feeling resentful. There are so many different feelings Sam experiences! Brotherly Feelings explores the emotions that siblings of children with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) commonly experience. With illustrations throughout, this book will help siblings to understand that their emotional responses - whatever they are - are natural and OK. It is the ideal book for parents and professionals to use with siblings to discuss their emotional experiences, and will also help children with AS to form an understanding of the feelings of other family members.

Omari was raised in the Pacific Northwest where he attended over 15 schools growing up. His parents were addicted to crack cocaine and their addiction led to countless adverse childhood experiences and chronic instability. Omari began running the streets and hustling in the 4th grade. By the 6th grade he was kicked out of Seattle Public Schools. After being sent to an alternative high school at the young age of 11, Omari began to hate school and he never quite bounced back. Ultimately, he became a high school dropout and a product of the school-to-prison pipeline. In young adulthood Omari found a way to make a large amount of money and headed down a path of destruction that he mistakenly perceived as the road to success. Blinded by foreign cars, shiny rims, nice clothes, expensive jewelry, and a pocket full of money, Omari ran the streets with his mind stuck on hitting that next lick. However, as always when it comes to fast money, it was only a matter of time before the run was over and he was sent to prison on 30 felony convictions. Upon his release, Omari decided to utilize post-secondary education as a tool to turn his life around. Undeterred by prior academic experiences, and motivated by the desire to never return to prison and be an active role model for his kids, Omari defied the odds, fought through adversity, and flipped his GED into a Master's degree. Read about Omari's journey in Transforming Society's Failure!
