Blue is the color of heaven : the story of a boy's love, strength & beyond / by Ziemniak, Dana,author.;
"Dana Ziemniak lost her son, Evan, because of a dare from a school bully. Since then, she's made it her mission to educate people everywhere about the dangerous social media challenges that prompted the dare. In Blue is the Color of Heaven, Dana discusses her experience getting Evan an adequate diagnosis for his invisible disabilities. Despite her medical training as a pharmacist, she felt hopeless on her journey-even after turning to her school for support. Eventually, Evan was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and high-functioning autism. But it wasn't enough. Blue is the Color of Heaven is her way of taking a stand. In Blue is the Color of Heaven, Dana shares her struggle to getting Evan diagnosed-offering a glimpse into the challenges parents face when children have disabilities. It also sheds light on the inadequacies we see within our schools. But most importantly, it overviews some of the dangers lurking among today's youth. Because how can you protect a child from something you don't know about? Dana Ziemniak worked as a pharmacist for 15 years in various settings-hospital, retail, and specialty-before she quit working to take care of her family. Her job became fighting for her son, Evan, who was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and high-functioning autism. After losing Evan to a dare from a school bully, Dana made it her mission to raise awareness about dangerous social media games, bullying, and other invisible threats that affect today's youth." --

I know. I was one, I taught a whole bunch, and I am going to be raising three! That's also why I know that Asperkdis deserve their very own guide to all of the hidden social rules that are awfully confusing to us, even if they seem obvious to everyone else. "The Asperkids' (Secret) Rule Book of Social Rules." This isn't your momma's Emily Post, and there is no "don't do this" finger wagging or patronizing "high and mighty preaching" here. Instead, the "Secret" Book gives Asperkids (aged 10-17) respectful, funny insights written "for Aspies by an Aspie." Chock full of illustrations, logic and even a practice session or six (in comic strip style, thank you very much!), this is the handbook every adult Aspie wishes we'd had growing up, but never did.
