  Narrated by the author! Experience Life on the Bridge in the voice of Autistic Advocate, Love on the Spectrum cast member, and therapist Kaelynn Partlow herself. This audiobook features new material that makes it a must-listen, including an introduction from and read by Cian O'Clery, director of Netflix's hit series Love on the Spectrum, as well as a bonus conversation with Kaelynn Partlow and Lisa Lane, co-CEO and co-Founder of Project Hope Foundation, a nonprofit autism service provider. Life on the Bridge is a warm, personal, and practical guide to understanding autism—from behaviors to communication and beyond. 
  You've heard from autistic authors. 
  You've heard from therapists. 
  Now hear from one extraordinary young woman who's both. 
  Experience autism from the inside out through a rare fusion of professional skill and personal understanding. Reshape what you know about the autism spectrum and increase your ability to give support. Varied perspectives among autistic individuals, their families, and professionals have often been difficult to reconcile. Now, you can bridge that divide with guidance from someone who’s lived in multiple worlds. Find immediate, actionable options to build connections, foster communication, navigate challenges, and enhance interactions. 
  SPECIFIC CONTENT: 
  Autism. What it is, what it isn’t, and what are the resulting misunderstandings across the spectrum? 
  Communication. Exactly how do you avoid misunderstandings, encourage conversation, and build options for better interaction? 
  Behavior. Learn about the origin and mechanics of meltdowns, stimming, perseveration, sensory distortion, and other common autistic challenges. 
  Interaction. The struggles are real: autism-enhanced loneliness, social-skill deficits, goal-setting, and the thorny issues of disability accommodation. 
  Common Questions. What are DSM-V diagnostic levels and why do they matter? What about therapy and ABA or routes to useful advocacy? 
  "Loved Kaelynn Partlow's information on ambiguity and communication. She gives lots of practical pointers on how to be more direct and specific when talking to autistic individuals. Vague, open ended questions are not effective communication." — Temple Grandin, New York Times bestselling author of Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions 
  "As a rising star in the field, Partlow is poised to become this generation’s Temple Grandin." — Erin R. Hahn, Ph.D., Department Chair and Professor of Psychology, Furman University Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Amorite Kingdoms The: The...

  As the Canaanites established themselves in most of the Levant and the Hurrians carved out space for themselves in northwestern Syria, a West Semitic ethnic group known as the Amorites entered Mesopotamia and Syria from the Arabian Desert. The movement of the Amorites and Hurrians coincided with the collapse of the Ur III Dynasty after 2004 BCE (Haywood 2005, 28), although it is not known for sure if the collapse of Ur III led to the movement of peoples, or if the movement at least partially led to the collapse. As the Ur III Dynasty grew weak internally, it could be that the Amorite attacks were a major factor in the destruction of the state. It must be stated, though, that it was the Elamites who ultimately delivered the coup de grace that brought Ur III to its knees. The more likely scenario is that the Amorites simply took advantage of the power vacuum that was created when Ur III collapsed. 
  The Amorites actually belonged to several sub-tribes and did not necessarily move in unison, but they did migrate in such large numbers that they were able to overwhelm much of Mesopotamia and northeastern Syria by about 1800 BCE. All of the notable political dynasties and city-states from this period – Babylon, Mari, Assyria, Eshnunna, and Yamhad – were established by ethnic Amorites, although only traces of the Amorite identity were retained. The Amorites accepted standard Mesopotamian and Syrian religious practices, utilized the Akkadian language and the cuneiform writing style extensively, and built monumental architecture based on the Sumerian and Akkadian styles. Some bands of Amorites did in fact retain their semi-nomadic lifestyle, but they often found their former kinsmen were not so tolerant of their wandering traditions. Some of the early sedentary Amorites used the still semi-nomadic Amorites as mercenaries in their armies, but they also often fought them and did whatever they could to keep them out of their boundaries.

  Message on Neutrality

  With this 1914 address, President Woodrow Wilson declared his intentions for the US to remain neutral in World War I. “Every man who really loves America will act and speak in the true spirit of neutrality,” he said, “which is the spirit of impartiality and fairness and friendliness to all concerned.” This platform secured Wilson’s re-election in 1916, but it only lasted until 1917. When Germany restarted unrestricted submarine warfare against US vessels, Wilson would retract his sentiment and lead Congress to vote in favor of war.
