Book Description
If you only buy one book to improve your life this year, make it this one. Temple Grandin, Liane Holliday Willey, Anita Lesko, Stephen M. Shore, and many other Aspie mentors, offer their personal guidance on coping with the daily stressors that Aspies have identified as being the most significant, in order of urgency - anxiety, self-esteem, change, meltdowns, depression, friendship, love, and much, much more. Based on years of personal experience, this book is packed with advice from Aspie mentors who have all been there and done that! World expert Dr. Tony Attwood rounds up each chapter with professional analysis and extensive recommendations. He includes essential information on destructive strategies that may look attractive, but that have counter-productive effects. Including full color artwork from Aspie artists showing visually how they interpret each stressor, this is THE inspirational guide to life for young adults, the newly diagnosed, and as a life-long reference for anyone on the spectrum - written by Aspies for Aspies.

Book Description
Don't let the word "Woman" in Experience fool ya! If anybody knows me, EVERYBODY will benefit from the hilarious, real, brash, inspiring, and empowering writing that can have you laughing and crying at the same time... realizing you're worth something pretty special!!! And if you don't know me yet, then this is a fabulous introduction! This book will show you that by switching the genders... the inspiration is no different!!! And although there are tons of experiences in our lives, these are just 50 of them. Maybe we didn't experience them in the same way... but we've experienced them in some way! And that's just it: WE. The Woman Experience!!! We're all in this together... no matter the age, race, size, shape, sexual preference, gender, or culture! One experience at a vibe! So don't judge a book by the number, size, or title of its chapters. You just might be surprised what you find inside!!! HERE'S A GLIMPSE ON OUR BACK BOOK COVER: Whether 25, 35, or 85... we've all done some sh*t in our lives. We've learned from it, moved on & revitalized our growth from it, or we've hibernated with it and allowed it to linger in our daily routine... giving it VIP access to move back in at its own convenience. Some of us have gotten to a point of adjustment awareness, and us others may have not been able to locate our frame of consciousness. It's okay. It's all a part of the Woman Experience. And to each our own. Because although we're interlinked to a species of feminine production, our experiments can entail quite a distinction of perception. And movement is progress no matter the speed or direction. We're either going to get better going forward, or going to get better at going backwards. "For better or for worse" in time: Our Reality! So why not expand our mind's navigation system with some hilarious, fun, loving, brash, real, extremely honest and self-empowering material that can get our mental stimulated? Tools to help awaken and enhance all of our magnificence! Because that is what this book is all about: For the fun, fab, fearless female in us who likes to dish it out with a little sass, class, and confidence! Yet, may need to take our own advice more than twice! A lighter side of spirituality, sexuality, & Womanology. No men bashing. Simply woman enhancing! Even if some of us haven't found our sassy sauce yet hidden deep within our tote bags, we can trust that something's going to come out... even if it's a realization about our true selves. Because past, present, or future... we are continuous. Doing what we do for the reasons we choose; enjoying the experience from our view. We are neither here nor there... WE ARE PERFECT! And today, we open up and welcome all others the opportunity to be in our presence. "We are all Supermodels! Super ROLE MODELS!" - from chapter 47 Love, light, awareness, and dareness, Mikki L. Padilla
