  This is the biography of a young man with some neurological differences, written in the first person. Through his eyes, we see how he perceives his life and negotiates his reality. His world and his understandings of life may be different from the norm, but we learn to appreciate a special type of soul that should be acknowledged and celebrated as part of human diversity. This book also demonstrates the love and nurturance of his mother and the dynamics of his relationship with her. We also enjoy reading about the very comfortable lifestyle that Marcelo has been given, including his worldwide travels. This book is a unique contribution to our understanding of the autistic and human experience.

  Articles of Confederation The:...

  Around the very same time that Congress was drafting the Declaration of Independence, it also had a committee drafting a constitution for the United States. The committee was led by John Dickinson, who presented the committee's conclusion on July 12, 1776. Drafting the document was no easy task: as with the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the individual states were often reluctant to hand sovereignty over to a greater confederate power. 
  	After the Revolution, the new United States attempted to operate under the Articles of Confederation, which had been drafted in a time of war by men who were wary of Parliamentary abuses of power. Given that context, it should not be surprising that the national government the Continental Congress crafted during the Revolutionary War was particularly weak. During the war itself, the reason Congress could not pay the soldiers in the Continental Army was because it did not have the power to tax. General George Washington pestered the Continental Congress for provisions constantly, but they could only ask for money from the states. 
  	The drafters of the Articles of Confederation had deliberately avoided giving the national legislature the power to tax because Parliament had so abused that authority against the colonies, but it didn’t take long for this to be a severe limitation on the national government. Besides hampering the Continental Army, the inability of the national government to raise revenue made foreign policy difficult. After the end of the Revolutionary War, the United States had no navy and was no longer protected by the British navy. As a result, American commerce was pillaged by the Barbary pirates, yet the Congress could do nothing to stop the pirate attacks because it could raise no money to fund a navy to defend American shipping. 
  Ultimately, the Constitution was a decisive move away from the Articles of Confederation, which the proponents of the Constitution claimed gave the states too much autonomy.

  Unspoken - The Silent Truth...

  “I was two when the woman I called Mummy told me, ‘You came out of another mummy’s tummy.’ I grew up thinking that my birth mother didn’t want me. I assumed there must’ve been something inherently wrong with me – why else would a mother give up her baby?” 
  In 1974, Liz Harvie – born Claire Elaine Watts – was given up for adoption by her birth mother Yvonne. Claire was just eight weeks old when her adoptive parents took her in – and renamed her Elizabeth. 
  Although brought up in a ‘perfect’ household, the emotional – and physical – trauma of being taken from her biological mother would never leave Liz. She constantly wondered: what does my real mum look like? Will she come back for me? Why did she abandon me? But whenever Liz voiced such questions, she invariably received the same response: “Your birth parents were not married. They couldn’t look after you.” 
  Years later, aged twenty-eight, Liz reconnected with her birth mother – and finally learned the shocking truth surrounding her adoption. Yvonne had not abandoned her daughter. A social worker had snatched her ten-day-old baby from her arms. “I didn’t even get a final cuddle. She just took her away from me,” says Yvonne. 
  Liz became one of 185,000 victims of forced adoption between 1949 and 1976 in England and Wales. As a young unmarried mum, Yvonne was deemed unfit as a parent by the government, churches, adoption agencies and her father – and made to give up her child against her will. 
  Although reunited, Liz and Yvonne are still struggling to cope with the agony resulting from their devastating separation. As Liz says, “We can’t just skip hand in hand into the sunset. The trauma of being a forced adoptee is lifelong.”
