Solutions for Adults with Asperger's Syndrome
Thomas Edison. Albert Einstein. Half of NASA. These are all extremely intelligent, successful adults who made great contributions to society and who are also suspected of having the developmental disorder called Asperger Syndrome. This relatively new diagnosis is being increasingly applied to both children and adults-in fact, it is now seen as running in familes. There are a lot of books on how to successfully raise children with AS, but until now, adults were left to figure it out on their own. Dr. Juanita Lovett specializes in treating adults with AS and working with their families. In this book she shows those adults and their loved ones how to maximize the benefits of AS (including intense concentration, above-average intelligence, and high creativity) while minimizing the drawbacks (including lack of social skill, inability to connect emotionally with others, and propensity toward rage). This important new book will help thousands of adults with AS learn to live happier, more fulfilling lives.
An Asperger Journey
Within a span of two months in late 2006 and early 2007, Scott Verbout learned he had a mental disabilityand then lost his job of more than fifteen years. After going through that traumatic experience, which he partially attributes to his condition and the failure of others to understand it, Scott began the process of writing about his experiences. Ultimately, his research became the basis for An Asperger Journey. As Scott researched his condition, he found a wealth of information for children who have Aspergers syndrome, but not much similar guidance available for adults. To give the full picture, Scott asked his wife and daughter for their contributions, as they have lived with him and have had to deal most intimately with the effects of the disorder. He wanted to share his experiences with others who have Aspergers, as well as with their family and friends. By sharing his journey of discovery as an adult with a lifelong mental disability, Scott hopes to help others who may have had similar experiences.
Denied! Failing Cordelia: Parental Love and Parental-State Theft in Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court
The Cankered Rose and Esther's Revenge begins the author's dramatic journey of adopting his teenage daughter with severe attachment issues in Seattle. The heartbreak of then seeing Cordelia "stolen" by the efforts of his former wife and the child-welfare legal complex in Los Angeles, alongside that of the trauma of being denied during efforts to reunify with her are each foreshadowed here. Issues surrounding adoption trauma, parenting children with reactive attachment disorder, and the author's own struggles with Asperger's syndrome will be his constant companions on this perilous journey of adopting, losing, and then trying to reunite with his beloved daughter. In this and subsequent volumes, the author will also be questioning the ability of the child-welfare legal complex and the Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court to understand the nature of damaged child attachment or the therapeutic parenting needed to heal children with "special needs." Ultimately, each would be as responsible for "failing Cordelia" as the breaking of the violent waves for the shattering movement of the rocks on the beach.

Pushing Through
Imagine escaping from a toxic parental family situation into the arms of a cultish church that idolizes marriage and family (at least on paper), expecting many children to follow. Obediently, you marry, only to find that your husbands life is dominated by the overwhelming demands of the church, leaving you with the lions share of raising your five children. You find the situation unendurable and feel trapped. In this frank and revealing narrative, the author graphically portrays the despair of that position and the gradual release when first rejecting Mormonism, then receiving confirmation that her husband has Asperger syndrome, and finally finding freedom together within an orthodox Christian faith.
