I Don't Want to be Inside Me Anymore - Messages from an Autistic Mind AU 27

Born in Germany in 1973, Birger Sellin was a happy and outgoing child who learned to speak at an unusually early age. But shortly before he turned two, he suddenly grew terrified at the sight of other children and inexplicably stopped talking. His parents watched helplessly as their beloved child retreated into a dark and lonely world; he spent the next sixteen years in silent isolation, caged behind walls he had constructed. Like nearly 400,000 people in our own country, Birger Sellin is autistic. But when he was eighteen something amazing happened. He learned to type. With someone supporting his arm, he began to pour out words, thoughts, and feelings that no one had suspected he possessed. I Don't Want to Be Inside Me Anymore is Birger's story. It is a firsthand account of rare eloquence and immediacy, a remarkable story of raw human courage and - ultimately - indomitable hope.

I have no words for this achievement, but I know that not since the days of my childhood, when the people in books were more real than the people one saw every day, have I found myself so moved . . .

If Your Child Has Diabetes - An Answer Book for Parents D 02

Joanne Elliott writes: "Some years ago, I was asked to speak to a group of parents whose children had developed diabetes. The topic I was given was 'How Parents Can Help.' Not knowing how to begin, I asked my daughter with diabetes, then about ten years old. Her answer was short and simple. 'Parents can help,' she declared, 'by knowing everything.' No one can know everything about diabetes. There is so much that is yet to be discovered. We, as parents, though, can certainly make a start, for we start with the knowledge that the more we learn about this disease, the better we can control it. In this book, I try to cover all aspects of diabetic care, physical and emotional, to supply as many answers as I can to the endless stream of questions that you, the parent, need to ask."

Is This Your Child? Discovering and Treating Unrecognized Allergies SPH 03

This book offers a simple yet effective approach to handling 'problem' children. If your child is always sick, hyperactive, a slow learner, or cranky, the first question you should ask is not what drug should be prescribed or, more painfully, "What have I done wrong as a parent?" instead, this breakthrough book instructs parents to ask themselves, "What has my child recently eaten, smelled, or touched?" Surprisingly, common foods and chemicals could be the culprits that will cause your child to be unhappy and unmanageable. This book will help parents, educators, and physicians pinpoint the large group of children who are affected by the illness THE NEW YORK TIMES refers to as Multiple Chemical Sensitivities by the way they look, act, write, draw, and learn. Dr. Rapp gives concise directions on how these reactions can be prevented and treated. The remedies she recommends have been tested and proven effective, and will help these children maintain a healthy, comfortable, and drug-free lifestyle by changing their diet and environment. With carefully selected case histories, Dr. Rapp outlines the symptoms and behavior patterns of allergic children from infancy through adolescence. Within these case histories you will be able to identify each facet of the illness right away. Using tables, photographs, writing samples, and the personal stories from the parents and the children themselves, this book will provide the answers frustrated parents have been looking for, along with the consolation of knowing that their child's problems are often easily remedied allergic reactions.
