Josiah's fire : autism stole his words, God gave him a voice / by Cullen, Tahni,author.(CARDINAL)430999; Ricker, Cheryl,author.(CARDINAL)408279;
Where is hope when there is no hope? First-time parents Joe and Tahni Cullen were thrust into the confusing world of autism when their toddler, Josiah, suddenly lost his ability to speak, play, and socialize. The diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder. In their attempts to see Josiah recover and regain speech, the Cullens underwent overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial struggles. While other kids around him improved, Josiah only got worse. Five years later, Josiah, who had not been formally taught to read or write, suddenly began to type on his iPad profound paragraphs about God, science, history, business, music, strangers, and heaven. Josiah’s eye-opening visions, heavenly encounters, and supernatural experiences forced his family out of their comfort zone and predictable theology, catapulting them into a mind-blowing love-encounter with Jesus.

The reason I jump [videorecording] / by Dear, Jeremy,film producer.; Fujiwara, Jim,on-screen participant.; Lee, Stevie,film producer.; Mitchell, David(David Stephen),on-screen participant.(CARDINAL)349191; Morrow, Al,film producer.(CARDINAL)787206; O'Donegan, Jordan,on-screen participant.; Rothwell, Jerry,film director.; Based on (work):Higashida, Naoki,1992-Jiheishō no boku ga tobihaneru riyū.; British Film Institute,presenter.(CARDINAL)344861; Ideas Room (Firm),production company.; Kino Lorber, Inc.,publisher.(CARDINAL)347545; Met Film (Firm),production company.; Runaway Fridge TV Ltd.,production company.; Vulcan Productions,production company.(CARDINAL)273630;
Director of photography, Ruben Woodin Dechamps ; editor, David Charap ; music, Nainita Desai.Jordan O'Donegan, David Mitchell, Jim Fujiwara.Based on the best-selling book by Naoki Higashida, is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida's revelatory insights into autism, written when he was just thirteen, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window for audiences into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe. Moments in the lives of each individual are linked by the journey of a young Japanese boy through an epic landscape; narrated passages from Naoki's writing reflect on what his autism means to him and others, how his perception of the world differs, and why he acts in the way he does: the reason he jumps. The film distills these elements into a sensually rich tapestry that leads to Naoki's core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.DVD, NTSC, Region 1 ; widescreen 2.35:1, 16x9 ; Dolby digital 5.1 surround and 20 stereo; described video.

The reason I jump : the inner voice of a thirteen-year-old boy with autism / by Higashida, Naoki,1992-(CARDINAL)349193; Yoshida, KA,translator.(CARDINAL)349192; Mitchell, David(David Stephen),translator.(CARDINAL)349191;
Written by a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, this is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights--into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory--are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again. In his introduction, bestselling novelist David Mitchell writes that Naoki's words allowed him to feel, for the first time, as if his own autistic child was explaining what was happening in his mind. This translation was a labor of love by David and his wife, KA Yoshida, so they'd be able to share that feeling with friends, the wider autism community, and beyond.--From publisher description.1000LAccelerated Reader AR

Odd girl out : my extraordinary autistic life / by James, Laura E.,author.(CARDINAL)404841;
"From childhood, Laura James knew she was different. She struggled to cope in a world that often made no sense to her, as though her brain had its own operating system. It wasn't until she reached her forties that she found out why: Suddenly and surprisingly, she was diagnosed with autism. With a touching and searing honesty, Laura challenges everything we think we know about what it means to be autistic. Married with four children and a successful journalist, Laura examines the ways in which autism has shaped her career, her approach to motherhood, and her closest relationships. Laura's upbeat, witty writing offers new insight into the day-to-day struggles of living with autism, as her extreme attention to sensory detail--a common aspect of her autism--is fascinating to observe through her eyes. As Laura grapples with defining her own identity, she also looks at the unique benefits neurodiversity can bring. Lyrical and lush, Odd Girl Out shows how being different doesn't mean being less, and proves that it is never too late for any of us to find our rightful place in the world."--
