Relating While Autistic - Fixed Signals for Neurodivergent Couples

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh

Synopsis

Neurodivergent (ND) couples, where one or both partners are autistic or have ADHD or another brain difference, often struggle in relationships because of mixed signals. He said one thing, she heard something else, and they both jumped to conclusions about what their partner really meant.

Nowhere is social communication more important than in a marriage or committed relationships. You may be in a ND relationship, wondering why it seems so hard to communicate with the one you love. Maybe you’re not in a relationship yet, and you know you need some solid communication skills in place before you find the right one so you can make it work. This book is for you.

One thing ND couples have in common is a propensity to have mixed signals, yearning to communicate clearly and effectively, but finding that desire thwarted time and time again. How can ND couples turn mixed signals into fixed signals? You’ll find answers in Relating while Autistic: Fixed Signals for Neurodivergent Couples.

This book offers practical tips, evidence-based strategies, and the keys couples need to unlock their best relationship. It’s built on the science of human behavior, relationship research, and what Wendela Marsh has learned from her own twenty-seven years in love in a brilliant and enduring ND marriage.

One way relationship mixed signals are explored in this book is through "Red Light/Green Light Tips" that demonstrate what not to do or say, with more effective things to try instead. "What Shall We Talk About?" conversation starters for Family Meetings open the gates to discussions about what’s important to the two of you. There will be "Date Night Themes" offering ideas for planned date nights, to avoid surprises.

Another way you'll learn to turn mixed signals into fixed signals is through the stories of four fictional couple. You will learn how they deal with miscommunication and misunderstandings. Each chapter also includes "They Say," stories shared by actual ND couples about what has worked in their relationships.

This much needed resource is a charming "how-to" relationship guide for autistic and other ND individuals.

A Journey into Buddhism

Elizabeth J. A. Harris

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 by Elizabeth J. A. Harris, A Journey into Buddhism narrated by Ethan Christy. 
 
Excerpt: 
"The themes of the talks are rooted in my journey, as a Christian, into Buddhism. In the mid-1980s I felt the need to ’let go’ of my own religious conditioning to enter the world of another faith. It grew from a conviction that people with an interest in religion should not remain imprisoned within one framework but should explore others. The choice of Buddhism and Sri Lanka was a natural one for me. Buddhism’s emphasis on meditation and non-violence touched my own interests as a Christian, and a visit to Sri Lanka in 1984 had left me with the feeling that my link with the island was not finished. 
I originally intended to be in Sri Lanka for one year. One year, however, became seven and a half, from 1986 until 1993. My aim throughout was not only to study Buddhism but to practise it. I did not consider myself involved in ’interfaith dialogue’ although I’m sure some perceived my actions in this way. I wanted to enter Buddhism on its own terms, as a human being rather than as a Christian." 
 
The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 can be downloaded from the BPS website.

Over the Years - Selected...

Gillian Bickley, Verner Bickley

The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections. 
“Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014) 
"Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.
