113. Leadership, Productivity, and Confidence with Nikki Pebbles, M.S.

The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs. 

 ‘We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!”’

Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a ‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way?

Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh.

Quirky, Eccentric, and Anti-Social Parents: The Truth About Aspergers Syndrome Parents and Neurotypical Children: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 107

Read Book : https://centerofsound.blogspot.com/?oak=B019YBZ2ZI

There are many books and articles out there about the difficulty that neurotypical parents have in raising Asperger children. Neurotypical parents find out that their child is on the autism spectrum, and they often experience a sense of grief when they come to realize that their child will never be what they might have envisioned. The child may be quirky, awkward, and difficult to relate to. There is a well-known poem in the autistic community called &quotWelcome to Holland&quot by Emily Perl Kingsley. It tells of excited parents hearing everyone else talk about going to Italy. They pack their bags. They are so excited to see Italy like everyone else. Their trip destination is suddenly changed, and they end up in Holland instead. Italy clearly isn't Holland. But they must enjoy H

I've got a new podcast for you that's here by popular demand. The last podcast I did was with the honest psychopath Jackson Noble, and I got a lot of inquiries about his partner Teagan.

People wanted to know what it was like for her to be with an open psychopath, to be in a loving relationship with him, to observe him as a father and a partner, and to know if it's possible to have a healthy and loving relationship with somebody with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD).

Well, Teagan has gracefully agreed to be interviewed and to talk about her experiences openly and honestly. She also identifies as neurodivergent and believes she has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). And yet she says their relationship is "99% healthy".

Together we explored what it means to love when you don't experience emotions deeply, how safe it is to be in a relationship with a psychopath, and how that compares to her previous relationships with neurotypical men.

Let's meet her and hear her fascinating story.
