With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and tools to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don't always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing-they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness. Enter Unmasking for Life, which provides the resources to help you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving, and being that work with your disability rather than against it."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3432449</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3432449</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Price, Devon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3432449133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Autistic Person&apos;s Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593735756/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unmasking Autism]]></title><description><![CDATA["A deep dive into the spectrum of autistic experience and the phenomenon of masked autism, giving individuals the tools to safely uncover their true selves while broadening society's narrow understanding of neurodiversity"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3144234</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3144234</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Price, Devon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3144234133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593235232/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nine Minds]]></title><description><![CDATA["A celebration of neurodivergent minds, told through the stories of nine men and women on the autism spectrum."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3436461</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3436461</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tammet, Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3436461133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Inner Lives on the Spectrum</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798893030730/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Letters to My Weird Sisters]]></title><description><![CDATA[An autistic feminist author looks at women's history, in search of her 'weird sisters.' It seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it. An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four 'weird sisters' from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanizes women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by 'weird sisters' everywhere.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3219420</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3219420</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Limburg, Joanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3219420133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798765054116/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[M Is for Autism]]></title><description><![CDATA[After struggling daily with anxiety, a thirteen-year-old English girl learns she has autism.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2909405</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2909405</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2909405133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781849056847/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Talk to An Autistic Kid]]></title><description><![CDATA[A collection of personal stories, knowledgeable explanations, and supportive advice written by a fourteen-year-old autistic boy to help provide readers with the confidence and tools necessary to befriend autistic kids.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1675594</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1675594</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stefanski, Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1675594133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781575423654/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Odd Girl Out]]></title><description><![CDATA[Laura James knew she was different.

These are the rites of passage of American youth that hold the promise of magic, romance and initiation into adulthood. For kids from all walks of life, these first steps toward intimacy are at once exciting and terrifying. For some teenagers and young adults on the autism spectrum, the transition can be nothing less than paralyzing. In Columbus, Ohio, a group of young people with an array of developmental challenges prepares for an iconic event - a spring formal dance. They spend 12 weeks confronting and practicing their social skills as they prepare for the big event, to be hosted at a local disco. Working with their trusted psychologist, they deconstruct fear and larger-than-life social anxiety one step at a time by picking dates, dresses, and, ultimately, a King and Queen of the Prom. How To Dance In Ohio is a story of the universal human need to grow, connect and belong as uniquely dramatized by individuals facing the deepest struggle toward social survival.  In How To Dance In Ohio, we get to know three girls transitioning into adulthood. The film takes us inside their group therapy sessions, their relationships with their families and their private thoughts as they struggle to understand and navigate the social rules that surround the suspenseful and heightened experience of a first date. Through their stories, and a chorus of other young women and men confronting similar issues, these girls reveal the hard work, perseverance and resilience it takes to be a part of contemporary society, along with the extraordinary challenges of being different. Entertaining, funny and heartbreaking, How To Dance In Ohio challenges us to question and celebrate the path to human connection and to rethink the definition of normal.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3395464</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3395464</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_DOWNLOAD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3395464133</comments><format>VIDEO_DOWNLOAD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
