Synopsis

Autism has long been considered a boys' condition, but there is more to this story. The truth is, autism looks different in women and girls. They're much better at "pretending to be normal" by masking their autistic characteristics. How can we look behind the mask to recognize autism, when it has been so well camouflaged? Recognizing Autism in Women and Girls: When It Has Been Hidden Well provides the perspective needed to see how autism manifests in gendered ways, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis. In addition to describing each point in the diagnostic manual to include feminine presentations, Dr. Marsh has created “Five Fictional Female Figures” who've been misdiagnosed because they also display symptoms of other similar conditions. She describes their behaviors, both obvious and hidden, from early childhood to adulthood, and demonstrates how these behaviors meet diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder. The "Behind the Mask" section provides helpful questions to ask during the autism assessment process to allow the professional to recognize autism, even when it has been successfully masked. In addition, each chapter contains "In Her Own Words," written by autistic women who describe their personal journeys from masking to diagnosis, and what it means to them. Being recognized at last for who they truly are frees autistic women to stop hiding behind a mask and begin opening doors to success.

    Economics Reimagined: - Nature...

    Forget GDP, and focus instead on living standards, people’s ability to get what they want. When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich. You’ll also see why no matter who or what the government taxes, or even if it taxes nobody, nearly the entire cost of government is paid for in the form of reduced living standards for the poor or anyone else on a tight budget. 
    Despite covering serious issues that affect the lives of everyone, the book is designed to be easy and entertaining even for those who know little about economics. That’s because the laws of economics are ultimately based on universal aspects of human nature. If you are a human, you’ll get it.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan tells the story of Esperanza, a young girl living a privileged life in Mexico, whose world is turned upside down by tragedy and loss. Forced to flee her home, she and her mother journey to California, where they must adapt to a life of hardship as migrant farm workers. The story explores themes of family, community, social injustice and resilience. Esperanza experiences firsthand the struggles and discrimination faced by Mexican immigrants in the United States, and must learn to survive in a world vastly different from her upbringing. Through the challenges she faces, Esperanza grows, learns the value of hard work, and discovers her own inner strength, ultimately finding a new sense of hope and belonging.

    This audiobook is a study guide to prepare for the Respirator Fit Test CNC method exam. It presents more than hundred questions and answers relating to human respiratory system and defence mechanisms, health effects of airborne contaminants, respiratory hazards in the workplace, general respiratory fit testing and respiratory selection requirements, and a sample script to prepare for the submission of a video demonstrating respiratory fit testing by the CNC (Condensation Nuclei Counter) method. 
    Respirator fit testing is a process used to determine whether a particular respiratory protective equipment (RPE) fits an individual properly and provides an adequate seal to protect against hazardous substances. Fit testing is required for tight-fitting respirators, from disposable filtering facepieces to reusable full-face respirators, including some respirators that typically operate in positive pressure mode. 
    There are several methods that can be used for respirator fit testing, including the CNC (Condensation Nuclei Counter) method. The CNC method involves measuring the particulate concentration inside the respirator while the user is wearing it and performing a series of exercises or movements to simulate the physical demands of the job. If the ratio between the air concentration inside the respirator and outside of the respirator meets the respiratory protection standard it is considered to have a good fit. 
    To prepare for the RESP-FIT CNC method exam, this book provides the listener the principles and procedures of respirator fit testing, including the CNC method. This includes excerpts from Australian and International Standards and guidelines and learning about the various types of RPE and their specific fit testing requirements. The listener should also become familiar with the equipment and procedures used in fit testing, as well as the potential risks and limitations of the CNC method.
