Maggie Morris resembles a human. Unknown and unattached, she moves seamlessly through her days, a polished collection of patterns. Her only honest relationship is with the dormant tree outside her Brooklyn loft window. When she unexpectedly runs into her childhood best friend, Dana, a Tsalagi girl who disappeared the summer they turned nine, Dana's cryptic references about the events surrounding her disappearance launch Maggie down a rabbit hole of questions, not only about that long-ago summer but about who she's become and why. Magpie explores appropriation and masking as the means through which an undiagnosed autistic woman builds a functional identity, burying her true one in the process. Maggie is difficult, odd, and soulful-in search of not only answers to a childhood mystery but an authenticity she has no idea how to recognize.

Exercise is excellent for everyone! However, it can be dangerous to one's health and well-being when it becomes an obsession. Some people are consumed with physical fitness and exercise. They display some or all the traits below, like those addicted to food, gambling, gaming, love and relationships, risky behavior, sex, shopping, technology, work, and substances.TRAITS¿ Obsession.¿ Inability to cut back or stop.¿ Dishonesty about the amount of exercise.¿ Perseverance despite problems in personal relationships.¿ Continuation of the behavior despite knowing it is way too much.¿ Constant engagement in the behavior even though it may be causing physical harm.Exercise causes the release of certain chemicals in the nervous system that create a sense of pleasure or reward. Because of this reaction, people become addicted to the pleasure response they gain from exercising. They then go to extreme lengths to duplicate the pleasure response from exercising.People who feel extreme pressure to stay in shape, both self-imposed and from external sources, are at risk of developing an addiction to exercise. People who are overweight and set out on an extreme weight loss regimen may also be at risk of exercise addiction. Part of the problem arises because exercise addiction is not easy to diagnose. Most people addicted to exercise do not see anything wrong with their behavior. They believe they are doing something to take care of themselves. The constant preoccupationwith exercising and working out can be a behavioral addiction that can be effectively treated using a range of cognitive and behavioral therapies.

A guide to help you find the right therapy program for your child.<BR><BR> Every person—whether baby, child, teenager, or adult—interacts with the world in their own unique way. Yet some have a harder time than others due to a variety of sensory processing issues, which can lead to motor delays, learning differences, frustration, anxiety, emotional, behavioural, and social challenges, as well as diagnoses like ADHD and “autism spectrum.” As sensory integration expert Sally Fryer Dietz reveals, these children are not “broken.” We are all unique, some just need more options and new ways to approach the world in order to make better sense of it.<BR><BR> Speaking from both her decades of professional experience as well as her own journey to help her oldest son, Dietz shares in-depth guidance to help you find the right therapeutic support for your child. Detailing common red flags at each developmental stage from infancy to grade school, she explains how children with sensory processing “glitches” are often misunderstood and put on medication rather than in therapies that can help them succeed naturally. Sharing how difficult it was to hear from her son’s teachers that he was having more challenges in school than his peers, she presents success stories from her family and from her sensory integration therapy clinic. She outlines therapies and treatments for body and mind that can help improve your child’s sensory motor development and function, such as sensory integration-based occupational, physical, and CranioSacral therapy.<BR><BR> No matter where your child is on the spectrum of sensory motor integration, this guide showcases effective solutions beyond medication and can help you figure out what options are available to help children grow into happy and productive adults.

This book offers a philosophical perspective on contemporary Tourette Syndrome scholarship, a field which has exploded over the last thirty years. Despite intense research efforts on this common neurodevelopmental condition in the age of the brain sciences, the syndrome's causes and potential cures remain intriguingly elusive. How does this lack of progress relate to the tacitly operating philosophical concepts that shape our current thinking about Tourette Syndrome? This book foregrounds these tacit concepts and shows how they relate to "big topics" in philosophy such as time, volition, and the self. By tracing how these topics relate to current research on Tourette's, it invites us to re-think our approach to research and care. Such re-thinking is urgently needed: individuals and families living with Tourette Syndrome remain under-serviced as pharmacological and behavioural therapies provide relief for some but not all who need support. This book highlights what questions we ask and do not ask in contemporary scholarship, thereby surfacing invisible constraints and opportunities in the field. It is of interest to scholars, health professionals, students, and affected families who want to better understand this burgeoning field of research with its conceptual controversies, approaches to aetiology, and directions for new research and improved clinical care.
