› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adhd-Autism Connection: A Step Toward More Accurate Diagnoses and Effective Treatments'Book summary:At last, long-awaited answers to the questions youve been asking. Help for frustrated ADHD patients and their families. (As well as those with autism, PDD, Aspergers syndrome, and other related conditions.)
Attention deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is one of the most rapidly growing diagnoses of our generation. Often the diagnosis fails to provide real help, leaving patients, doctors, and families at a loss to know what to do next. But for the first time ever, new insights into the overwhelming number of similarities between Autism and ADHD are giving those with ADHD genuine hope.
For years, the label of Autism has carried a negative connotation. Parents were afraid to admit the diagnosis and banished the term from discussion. Finally, The ADHD-Autism Connection gives parents, educators, and doctors a reason to embrace autism with a renewed sense of hope and understanding. This book will show how these understandings can minimize the frustration, misdiagnoses, and misunderstandings ADHD sufferers and their families face.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences With Autism and Asperger Syndrome'Book summary:This honest courageous book, written by a person with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome offers so much more than the traditional autobiography. Drawing on personal and professional experiences, Stephen Shore, who is currently completing his doctoral degree in special education at Boston University, combines three voices to create a touching and, at the same time, a highly informative book. The autobiographical voice tells Stephen's life, including his parent's frustrations with the educational and medical communities, his adolescence and now married adult life. The "time shifter" fills in the background information about his life that is otherwise out of chronological order of the events being related; finally the researcher's voice puts Stephen's personal life within the context of the research literature on autism and Asperger Syndrome. By using this triple lens, the book offers insights for parents, professionals as well as individuals who have Asperger Syndrome. [via]

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, Obsessiveness, Anger, and Impulsivenessby Daniel G. AmenISBN 0812929985 (0-8129-2998-5)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, Obsessiveness, Anger, and Impulsiveness'Book summary:In this age of do-it-yourself health care (heck, if the doctor only sees you for 10 minutes each visit, what other options are there?), Change Your Brain, Change Your Life fits in perfectly. Filled with "brain prescriptions" (among them cognitive exercises and nutritional advice) that are geared toward readers who've experienced anxiety, depression, impulsiveness, excessive anger or worry, and obsessive behavior, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life milks the mind-body connection for all it's worth.
Written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has also authored a book on attention deficit disorder, Change Your Brain contains dozens of brain scans of patients with various neurological problems, from caffeine, nicotine, and heroin addiction to manic-depression to epilepsy. These scans, often showing large gaps in neurological activity or areas of extreme overactivity, are downright frightening to look at, and Dr. Amen should know better than to resort to such scare tactics. But he should also be commended for advocating natural remedies, including deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation, self-hypnosis, and biofeedback for treating disorders that are so frequently dealt with by prescription only.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Delivered From Distraction: Getting The Most Out Of Life With Attention Deficit Disorder.'Book summary:In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorderall are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD.
As Hallowell and Ratey point out, attention deficit disorder is a highly misleading description of an intriguing kind of mind. Original, charismatic, energetic, often brilliant, people with ADD have extraordinary talents and gifts embedded in their highly charged but easily distracted minds. Tailored expressly to ADD learning styles and attention spans, Delivered from Distraction provides accessible, engaging discussions of every aspect of the condition, from diagnosis to finding the proper treatment regime. Inside youll discover
" whether ADD runs in families
" new diagnostic procedures, tests, and evaluations
" the links between ADD and other conditions
" how people with ADD can free up their inner talents and strengths
" the new drugs and how they work, and why theyre not for everyone
" exciting advances in nonpharmaceutical therapies, including changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle
" how to adapt the classic twelve-step program to treat ADD
" sexual problems associated with ADD and how to resolve them
" strategies for dealing with procrastination, clutter, and chronic forgetfulness
ADD is a trait, a way of living in the world. It only becomes a disorder when it impairs your life. Featuring gripping profiles of patients with ADD who have triumphed, Delivered from Distraction is a wise, loving guide to releasing the positive energy that all people with ADD hold inside.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Diagnosing Jefferson: Evidence of a Condition That Guided His Beliefs, Behavior, and Personal Associations'Book summary:Historians have long remarked on Thomas Jefferson's "peculiarities." But it took author Norm Ledgin, whose son has Asperger's Syndrome, to see what others did not. In this intriguing book, Ledgin carefully constructs a convincing case for the likelihood that Thomas Jefferson had Asperger's Syndrome. He matches Jefferson's behaviors with five diagnostic criteria for Asperger's: social impairment, preoccupation with "special interests," impairment in nonverbal communication, lack of emotional reciprocity, and inflexible adherence to nonfunctional routines. He also addresses other well-known signs of Asperger's, such as failure to recognize social cues, need for calming pressure, and indifference to peer pressure. A fascinating read!Helpful chaptes include:
- A Truth Not Self-Evident
- A Reluctant Celebrity
- A Logical Choice
- Separate Realities
- Magnificent Obsession
- "Disastrous Legacy"

› Find signed collectible books: 'Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping With Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adolescence'Book summary:This clear and valuable book dispels a variety of myths about attention deficit disorder (ADD). Since both authors have ADD themselves, and both are successful medical professionals, perhaps there's no surprise that the two myths they attack most persistently are: (a) that ADD is an issue only for children; and (b) that ADD corresponds simply to limited intelligence or limited self-discipline. "The word disorder puts the syndrome entirely in the domain of pathology, where it should not entirely be. Although ADD can generate a host of problems, there are also advantages to having it, advantages that this book will stress, such as high energy, intuitiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm, and they are completely overlooked by the 'disorder' model." The authors go on to cite Mozart and Einstein as examples of probable ADD sufferers. (The problem as they see it is not so much attention deficit but attention inconsistency: "Most of us with ADD can in fact hyperfocus at times.") Although they warn against overdiagnosis, they also do a convincing job of answering the criticism that "everybody, and therefore nobody" has ADD. Using numerous case studies and a discussion of the way ADD intersects with other conditions (e.g., depression, substance abuse, and obsessive-compulsive disorder), they paint a concrete picture of the syndrome's realities. Especially helpful are the lists of tips for dealing with ADD in a child, a partner, or a family member. --Richard Farr [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Let Me Hear Your Voice'Book summary:She was a beautiful doelike child, with an intense, graceful fragility. In her first year, she picked up words, smiled and laughed, and learned to walk. But then Anne-Marie began to turn inward. And when her little girl lost some of the words she had acquired, cried inconsolably, and showed no interest in anyone around her, Catherine Maurice took her to doctors who gave her a devastating diagnosis: autism.
In their desperate struggle to save their daughter, the Maurices plunged into a medical nightmare of false hopes, "miracle cures," and infuriating suggestions that Anne-Marie's autism was somehow their fault. Finally, Anne-Marie was saved by an intensive behavioral therapy.
Let Me Hear Your Voice is a mother's illuminating account of how one family triumphed over autism. It is an absolutely unforgettable book, as beautifully written as it is informative.

Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Gabor Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults. While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of three diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, Scattered is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.[via]More editions of Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates and What You Can Do About It:

Thousands more parents can rely on Dendy's compassionately presented expertise based on the latest research and decades of her experience as a parent, teacher, school psychologist, and mental health counselor. Her book looks at key areas that make adolescence--an already challenging time of life--potentially more difficult for kids with ADD or ADHD: academics, dating, driving, socializing, and greater independence.
TEENAGERS WITH ADD AND ADHD gives parents insight on everything from understanding the diagnosis to treatment options, and from behavioral and academic issues, to parent involvement and self-advocacy. The new edition includes additional or updated information in several areas. A separate chapter on medications provides details on specific drugs, including many new ones, and what research shows about their effectiveness in improving attention, impulse control, and distractibility. Dendy discusses new findings about the role of executive function problems and how they relate to teenagers difficulties with organizational skills, long-range planning, and staying on task. She advises parents on their role in working with schools to find strategies for academic success. Teenagers also speak out about their condition, and Dendy points to ways to involve them in their own treatment plan. In addition, the book covers coexisting disorders such as learning disabilities, depression, anxiety, Tourette syndrome, and Asperger syndrome.
Since 1995, this nuts and bolts guide has given parents hope and empowerment. It's chockfull of the latest data and proven strategies that can help manage the symptoms of ADD and ADHD at home and school. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Too Safe for Strangers'Book summary:Most children, especially children on the autism spectrum, accept adults' friendliness at face value. Sometimes it can have tragic consequences. Written by a Deputy Sheriff, this book is credited with foiling at least 22 stranger abductions. Characters Bobby and Mandee explain stranger danger in a way that is accessible, but not frightening, for children. Read it to your child and role-play different scenarios. Create a password only you and your child know, label backpacks on the inside (so strangers won't know your name). Strangers can be men or women, old or young. Adults should not touch, give gifts to, or ask for help from children. If they do, don't keep it a secret! Tell an adult! Arm your child with the knowledge that may save his or her life.[via]More editions of Too Safe for Strangers:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Women With Attention Deficit Disorder: Embrace Your Differences and Transform Your Life'Book summary:Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: theyre not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male. Sari Soldens groundbreaking study reveals that ADD affects just as many women as men, and that the resulting depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement are also symptoms of ADD. Newly revised and updated to reflect the latest clinical research, the book explores treatment and counseling options, and uses real-life case histories to examine the special challenges women with ADD and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) face, such as the shame of not fulfilling societal expectations. Included is a brand new chapter on friendship for women with ADHD. Three empowering steps restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image help women take control of their lives and enjoy success on their own terms.[via]More editions of Women With Attention Deficit Disorder: Embrace Your Differences and Transform Your Life:

Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectivaby Stephen CoveyISBN 8449304326 (84-493-0432-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'Book summary:Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

Organízate con Eficacia: Máxima Productividad Personal Sin Estrésby David AllenISBN 8495787164 (84-95787-16-4)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Organízate con Eficacia: Máxima Productividad Personal Sin Estrés'Book summary:Este libro tiene un objetivo claro: demostrar que existe un sistema de organización del trabajo que nos permite liberar la mente de las tensiones que inhiben nuestra creatividad, y que nos hace más eficaces en todos los aspectos de la vida.
David Allen sostiene que nuestra mente tiene una capacidad limitada para almacenar información y propone una serie de fórmulas prácticas para eliminar las tensiones e incrementar nuestra capacidad de trabajo y nuestro rendimiento.
Organízate con eficacia se fundamenta en unas sencillas normas básicas de organización del tiempo, como por ejemplo la necesidad de determinar cuál es el siguiente paso a dar en cada uno de nuestros proyectos, o la regla de los dos minutos (si surge una tarea pendiente y se puede hacer en menos de dos minutos, debe hacerse inmediatamente). El sistema propuesto por Allen soluciona ansiedades y desconciertos, y nos permite transformar nuestro modo de trabajar y la manera de percibir nuestros retos cotidianos. [via]
