  MASK OFF - A Memoir

  Joshua Eric Jensen

  • 0

  At thirty-eight, Joshua Eric Jensen receives an answer that forces him to reinterpret his entire life: he is autistic. 
  Suddenly, the childhood light switch that felt like an attack, the chapters he could read but could not retain, the desperate pursuit of popularity, and the exhaustion hidden beneath outward competence begin to form a single pattern. 
  Mask Off is a candid, darkly funny memoir about late diagnosis, autistic masking, childhood trauma, poverty, bullying, grief, family estrangement, and the search for a version of oneself that does not need to perform for acceptance. 
  Jensen revisits the choices he regrets without using autism as an excuse, while examining how a child can appear social, athletic, popular, and capable—and still be struggling without the language to explain what he is experiencing. 
  At the center of the story are those who made him feel loved without an audition: his grandmother Sharon, his dog Tyson, and the friends who continued to show up after the performance ended. 
  This is not a story about becoming someone new. It is about finally understanding the child who was there all along.

  This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.
  The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll.Changing Perceptionsexamines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
  Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don't just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.
  In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.
  Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.

  Murderous Minds - Exploring the...

  PhD Dean A. Haycock

  How many times have you seen a murder on the news or on a TV show like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and said to yourself, "How could someone do something like that?" Today, neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing, and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, from research that literally looks inside their brains to understanding how psychopaths, without empathy but very goal-oriented, think and act the way they do. Some don't commit crimes at all, but rather make use of their skills in the boardroom. But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims, and listeners—for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad. Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your co-worker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  A Climate of Truth - Why We Need...

  We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis – and most people want to see more action.
   
  But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back?
  What will it take for us to do better?
  In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He uses all these insights to identify the single point of greatest leverage for those seeking the systemic change we so desperately need. A Climate of Truth spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the decades ahead, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media and our businesses. Not only is this possible, but each of us can have radically more impact on the issues we care about by turning our attention to this simple principle. 
  Anyone asking, ‘What can each of us do right now to help?’ will find inspiration in this practical and important book.
