Popcorn and Pinecones / Eliza's journey with autism and the power of kindness. by Darby, Aimee,author.; Potter, Tamara ;illustrator.;
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder that affects how individuals communicate and interact. No two peoplewith autism are alike, it affects everyone differently. Autism is not a disease or illness, and you can't catch it like a cold. People with autism are born this way.There is no medicine that can cure autism. For some children this is the first time they're being exposed to the concept of autism. By accurately representing autism we can challenge incorrect stereotypes and help the autistic community feel more loved and excepted. Children should know that autism is not a disability but a different way of being. 100% of the book proceeds will go to The Eliza Hope Foundation to continue their mission so we can continue to offer specialized services, interventions and a therapeutic environment for autistic children and their families.April is Autism Awareness Month.Aimee Darby was born and raised in the Virginia suburbs of Washington DC. In 2009 she met her husband Aaron and in 2012 their daughter Eliza Hope was born. At 16 months old Eliza was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy and autism. On November 11, 2016 Eliza passed away unexpectedly from sudden unexplained death in epilepsy. In Eliza's memory Aimee started The Eliza Hope Foundation whose mission is to provide therapies and programs for children and families affected by autism. The Eliza Hope Therapy center opened in June of 2018 and serves as a center that offers all the therapies needed for a child on the Autism Spectrum.Aimee lives in Virginia Beach with her husband Aaron, their adopted son Brantley and their 3 dogs Rosie, Penny and Roger.100% of the proceeds from the book will go directly to The Eliza Hope Foundation so they can continue to support autistic children and their families.Ages 4-10.

The disordered mind : what unusual brains tell us about ourselves / by Kandel, Eric R.,author.(CARDINAL)508313;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What brain disorders can tell us about ourselves -- Our intensely social nature : the autism spectrum -- Emotions and the integrity of the self : depression and bipolar disorder -- The ability to think and to make and carry out decisions : schizophrenia -- Memory, the storehouse of the self : dementia -- Our intrinsic creative capability : brain disorders and art -- Movement : Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases -- The interplay of conscious and unconscious emotion : anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and faulty decision-making -- The pleasure principle and freedom of choice: addictions -- That's all, folks -- Sexual differentiation of the brain and gender identity -- Consciousness : the great remaining mystery of the brain -- Conclusion : coming full circle.Eric R. Kandel, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his foundational research into memory storage in the brain, is one of the pioneers of modern brain science. His work continues to shape our understanding of how learning and memory work and to break down age-old barriers between the sciences and the arts. In his seminal new book, The Disordered Mind, Kandel draws on a lifetime of pathbreaking research and the work of many other leading neuroscientists to take us on an unusual tour of the brain. He confronts one of the most difficult questions we face: How does our mind, our individual sense of self, emerge from the physical matter of the brain? The brain's 86 billion neurons communicate with one another through very precise connections. But sometimes those connections are disrupted. The brain processes that give rise to our mind can become disordered, resulting in diseases such as autism, depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder. While these disruptions bring great suffering, they can also reveal the mysteries of how the brain produces our most fundamental experiences and capabilities--the very nature of what it means to be human. Studies of autism illuminate the neurological foundations of our social instincts; research into depression offers important insights on emotions and the integrity of the self; and paradigm-shifting work on addiction has led to a new understanding of the relationship between pleasure and willpower. By studying disruptions to typical brain functioning and exploring their potential treatments, we will deepen our understanding of thought, feeling, behavior, memory, and creativity. Only then can we grapple with the big question of how billions of neurons generate consciousness itself.

This guide will empower parents and caregivers of young children to forge rewarding, joyful relationships with terrible two-year-olds, truculent three-year-olds, ferocious four-year-olds, foolhardy five-year-olds, self-centered six-year-olds, and the occasional semi-civilized seven-year-old. And, it will help little kids grow into self-reliant big kids who are cooperative and connected to their parents, teachers, siblings, and peers.

Simon sort of says [large print] / by Bow, Erin,author.(CARDINAL)498271;
"Simon O'Keeffe's biggest claim to fame should be the time his dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament. Or maybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube. But the story the whole world wants to tell about Simon is the one he'd do anything to forget: the story in which he's the only kid in his class who survived a school shooting. Two years after the infamous event, twelve-year-old Simon and his family move to the National Quiet Zone - the only place in America where the internet is banned. Instead of talking about Simon, the astronomers who flock to the area are busy listening for signs of life in space. And when Simon makes a friend who's determined to give the scientists what they're looking for, he'll finally have the chance to spin a new story for the world to tell. From award-winning author Erin Bow, Simon Sort of Says is a breath-taking testament to the lasting echoes of trauma, the redemptive power of humour, and the courage it takes to move forward without forge"--Ages 8-12Grades 4-6
