Описание: Reading my story is like watching The Three Stooges--you probably shouldn't laugh at my bad luck, but you do anyway. It's okay It's funny to me, too. Just after World War II, I was born "free," literally, when my father negotiated a free birth in exchange for naming me after the delivery doctor. From that moment on I'd live on next to nothing and have a blast doing it. I spent my 1950s Minneapolis childhood obsessively teaching myself guitar and writing songs, while dodging my mother's metal spatula and a brother out to get me. In the 1960s my band Skogie and the Flaming Pachucos reached local stardom, and while touring in our Winnebago we crashed it like an accordion into a mountain in the Ozarks. I was nearly killed hitchhiking--my main mode of transportation my whole life. After getting some career advice from The Tubes, in the 1970s we put everything we had in our cars and caravanned to Los Angeles. From a garage in suburban Arleta I penned an all-new sound for the band, a rock opera that starred "Freddy the Kat," a punky, nerdy kid who desired city life but was stuck in suburbia. We evolved Skogie into a new band called The Kats. In the 1980s we sold out every major club in L.A., from Madame Wong's to the Whisky a Go Go, the Starwood to the Troubadour. We were offered dozens of record contracts while headlining alongside The Police, The Knack, Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids, and The Motels. We turned down every single one. The 1980s also saw the end of my first marriage and the beginning and end of my second marriage--to Demi Moore. The 1990s and early 2000s led me to the computer-programming world. Coding and music seemed to go hand in hand, and I found myself rising through the programming ranks quickly. Of course I started an office band as well. I enjoyed taking history classes in my spare time, and in 2014, after I couldn't easily ace my tests, my wife, and the love of my life, Renee, took me to the neurologist. We were given terrible news--that I had developed early-onset Alzheimer's. This is the story of how I've rocked and rolled through life, almost becoming famous. Of composing nearly 1,000 songs, working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, and how Renee has helped me battle Alzheimer's, so these adventures aren't hidden in my brain forever. My book is not a typical, chronological biography. My stories move around in time and place. They're woven together with photos, drawings, song lyrics, rock and roll memorabilia, and excerpts from press articles. In one story a reader might experience the time I got trapped under the ice as a child in Minnesota to the time I got arrested in my twenties in Europe after giving Paul McCartney a demo tape. Readers will feel like we're mates sitting in a bar chatting about my life's misadventures--except I'm drinking water, since I've never had a drink of alcohol in my life. There are people in the world who have the Midas touch. I'm not one of those people. I don't even have a tin-foil touch. To endure, I've had to create three alter egos that readers will get to know through my memoir: "Rick," "Skogie," and "Freddy." My memoir is an unorthodox, hysterical story of survival--of making it big in music and life, without ever making a dime. Of getting diagnosed with one of the most frightening diseases known to man. Of how treating my memory loss through writing, music, diet, exercise, and natural supplements, and my wife Renee's tireless research and love, I was able to hold on to these memories as long as I can to share them with you.

Описание: Born with autism, both Temple Grandin and Sean Barron now live famously successful social lives. However, their paths were quite different. Temple's logical mind controlled her social behavior. She interacted with many adults and other children, experiencing varied social situations. Logic informed her decision to obey social rules and avoid unpleasant consequences. Sean's emotions controlled his social behavior. Baffled by social rules, isolated and friendless, he made up his own and applied them to others. When they inevitably broke his rules, he felt worthless and unloved. Both Temple and Sean ultimately came to terms with the social world and found their places in it. Whether you are a person with autism, a caregiver in the autism community, or just someone interested in an outsider view of society, their powerful stories will enthrall and enlighten you. The first edition of Unwritten Rules of Social Engagement was the Silver Award Winner of the Book of the Year Awards and the original edition sold more than 40,000 copies in hard cover

This book will assist parents, educators, and professionals in schools (counselors, school psychologists, librarians) who work with children diagnosed with ASD; it will help readers increase their knowledge of autism and gain an appreciation for evidence-based practices and forms of technology that can be used to support learners on the autism spectrum. “This book is a call to arms and is as much a resource for the family friend as it is for the provider coming to the home. In the book Seeing Autism, Dr. Demetria Ennis-Cole helps individuals gain an incredible perspective and learn the struggles, challenges and joys of families rearing children, teens and adults on the spectrum. This book covers the entire spectrum and is a fantastic mix of research, parent perspective, and even sketchnotes for visual learners.
