Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits.

The authors take the reader step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Readers will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking.

This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism. A clinical companion guide, Is This Autism? A Companion Guide for Diagnosing, is available for clinicians who make mental health diagnoses.

This book is a child's bird's eye view of God's handiwork. It introduces the Biblical truth of creation and encourages the child to love and take care of the beautiful earth God has provided.

God loved us so much that He made a great big world, and He called it EARTH. God made wonderful things on the earth that would make us happy. He made the sky, sun, moon, stars, animals, humans, and more. Then God looked at all the things He had made, liked what He created, and said they were good.

Along with the Biblical Story of creation, the book provides simple activities to reinforce the child's understanding and appreciation of what God has done for them. The book includes activity pages to encourage them to find some of the things God has created. For example, there are pictures of different objects, and the child will identify a specific object.

Children have an opportunity to acknowledge their understanding of what they have heard or what they have read. Also included is a page for the child to draw something God has made.

Eye of the Beholder is a treasure chest of full-color mandalas each accompanied with short, crystalline nuggets of wisdom. The combination of the two art forms brings forth the potential for the reader to experience a deep calmness as he or she takes in the visual feast of images while contemplating the gentle, heart-felt suggestions and affirmations. Meant to enhance one's meditation practice or to be a catalyst to begin one, Eye of the Beholder is both unique and universal in it's perspective of consciousness.The mandalas, complex, lotus-like circular designs with images radiating from the center, have flowed from the heart of artist Harimandir Khalsa, who calls them the fruit of her meditation. They are reproduced here from the original paintings on canvas, created over a decade. Her work is inspired by ancient practices of creating mandalas and by her belief that doing from a place of being creates a channel for consciousness to come into the world.The idea for this book came from Donna Henderson who saw the book in a dream. Donna has practiced meditation for many years and the words of wisdom in this book were revealed to her during her own times of meditation.The Sanskrit word mandala means 'whole world' and has been used for eons as an asset to meditation. Focusing on both Harimandir's intricate designs and Donna's words of wisdom gives the reader pause from the busy details of everyday life to still one's mind. From that place of centeredness we may see the world from the point of beautiful possibility.
