"Alphabet Kids have disorders that are often concurrent, interconnected or mistaken for one another, for example, the frequent combination of ASD, OCD, APD, SID and ADD - hence, "Alphabet Kids." If a doctor only diagnoses one condition, he or she may have missed others. As the rates of these disorders dramatically rise, Alphabet Kids explains it all. Robbie Woliver covers more than 70 different childhood disorders, providing information on causes, cures, treatments and prognoses. Chapters include a comprehensive list of signs and symptoms, and most of the disorders are illustrated with sometimes heartbreaking, but always inspirational true-life stories of a child with the particular disorder." "This easy-to-read go-to guide will help parents and professionals to sort through all the interconnected childhood developmental, neurobiological and psychological disorders and serve as a roadmap to help start the families' journey for correct diagnoses, effective treatment and better understanding of their Alphabet Kids."--BOOK JACKET.

Stuff : compulsive hoarding and the meaning of things / by Frost, Randy O.(CARDINAL)671097; Steketee, Gail.(CARDINAL)369211;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-290).Randy Frost and Gail Steketee were the first to study hoarding when they began their work a decade ago; they expected to find a few sufferers but ended up treating hundreds of patients and fielding thousands of calls from the families of others. Now they explore the compulsion through a series of compelling case studies in the vein of Oliver Sacks.With vivid portraits that show us the traits by which you can identify a hoarder—piles on sofas and beds that make the furniture useless, houses that can be navigated only by following small paths called goat trails, vast piles of paper that the hoarders “churn” but never discard, even collections of animals and garbage—Frost and Steketee explain the causes and outline the often ineffective treatments for the disorder.They also illuminate the pull that possessions exert on all of us. Whether we’re savers, collectors, or compulsive cleaners, none of us is free of the impulses that drive hoarders to the extremes in which they live.
