  Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is often misunderstood, yet it is a part of the broader spectrum of human neurodiversity. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome experience the world in unique ways, often exhibiting strengths in specific areas while facing challenges in social communication and sensory processing. The aim of this book is to provide a deeper understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome, exploring the characteristics, challenges, and strengths that come with it, while promoting acceptance and celebration of neurodiversity. 
    
  Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, including those seen in Asperger’s Syndrome, are a natural variation of human diversity. Instead of viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, neurodiversity encourages us to appreciate the value these variations bring to society. It emphasizes that individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and other neurodivergent conditions offer unique perspectives, skills, and talents that are often overlooked or underappreciated in traditional settings. 
    
  Asperger’s Syndrome, in particular, is characterized by challenges in social interactions, communication, and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests. However, these traits do not define the person as a whole. Many individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome possess exceptional abilities in fields such as mathematics, technology, music, and art. They may also demonstrate a deep, intense focus on subjects they are passionate about, allowing them to become experts in their areas of interest.

  Insulin - A Hundred-Year History

  In 1922, researchers made one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the century: insulin. Their discovery seemed miraculous. When it was given to diabetic patients on the brink of death, their condition rapidly improved. 
   
   
   
  However, this was no simple cure. Injections must be taken for life. Without them, symptoms quickly return, often with fatal results. But while a lifetime on insulin poses great challenges, it also offers opportunities. In this revelatory history, Stuart Bradwel looks back on one of medicine's most celebrated innovations. Setting professional narrative against subjective patient experience, he tells the story of a drug that has challenged many of the basic assumptions upon which medical practice is built, both inside and outside the clinic. 
   
   
   
  Nevertheless, Bradwel reminds us that the centenary of this apparent "wonder drug" should be no cause for celebration. Insulin often remains inaccessible to those who need it most: elusive prescriptions, uneven availability and sky-high prices result in rationing and desperate do-it-yourself research and development. In the face of bootstraps rhetoric and "Pharma Bro" capitalists, patients across the world are left to fend for themselves. There is a long way to go in the twenty-first century until insulin truly fulfills the extraordinary promises made by its discovery.

  Joining the ranks of modern myth busters, Dr. Sharon Moalem turns our current understanding of illness on its head and challenges us to fundamentally change the way we think about our bodies, our health, and our relationship to just about every other living thing on earth, from plants and animals to insects and bacteria.

  Marginalized Couples in Therapy...

  BIPOC and LGBTQI relationships have unique needs because minority stress, racialized trauma, and transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia can compromise one's ability to feel safe enough to connect to the world and others. Yet, all too often, marginalized couples are let down by conventional therapeutic models which were designed for white, cisgendered, heterosexual clients. 
   
  This book puts forth an innovative therapeutic approach specifically designed for working with the impact of systemic oppression in couples therapy. Divided into three parts, therapists will explore systemic trauma, discover ways to build transformative therapeutic postures via the BIOME and PRIDE models, and make use of actionable methods to support clients. By practicing critical consciousness, prioritizing the lived experiences of clients, and moving delicately through the imbalance of power inherent in the therapeutic relationship, clinicians will gain a better understanding of their clients' intimate relationship experiences, and how best to serve them. 
   
  Practitioners are invited to become active agents of change, making this not only a practical guide but also a call to action for fostering a more just and equitable world in which intimacy flourishes for all.
