Title: Finding Lina

Subtitle: A Mother's Journey from Autism to Hope

Author: Helena Hjalmarsson

Narrator: Jenna Berk

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

An honest and inspiring story of one mothers quest to help her daughter with autism learn to engage with the world around her.

Lina was a precocious toddler - charming, chatty, joyful. At the age of three, in the aftermath of her second MMR vaccine, first came a seizure, and then, to her parents horror, the loss of Linas ability to play, use language, and control her impulses. Over the next few years they continued to lose Lina. She communicated her acute discomfort by biting, screaming, hitting, laughing maniacally, and throwing violent tantrums. As a single mother, with the help of her ex-husband, Helena Hjalmarsson tirelessly pursued every possible avenue to find a diagnosis, and more importantly a treatment, for her daughter, and the search continues to this day. Lina is nine.

Special schools, restrictive diets, sensory stimulation, relationship-based therapy, gastrointestinal links, homeopathy, and allergy treatment are all explored in detail. Hjalmarsson finds out what helps Lina and what doesnt. She introduces sign language to Lina. She engages in lengthy daily intensive one-on-one sessions. With the help of her ex, angelic babysitters, Linas exceptionally empathetic younger sister, and supportive friends, Hjalmarsson manages to create a meaningful life for Lina, and for herself - a life of love and transcendence.

Lina, for all her challenges, has much to teach, and Hjalmarsson is a receptive student: finding joy in moments of connection, learning to live in the present, taking nothing for granted, accepting what others find unbearable, and finding a strength and spiritual base for inspiration and healing.

Unflinchingly honest and courageous, Finding Lina will open the eyes and hearts and minds of all parents, whether they have a child with autism or not.

Editorial Reviews:

After her second MMR vaccine, three-year-old Lina lost her ability to play, use language, and control her impulses. Her mother Helena Hjalmarsson immediately embarked on a mission to find a diagnosis and treatment for her daughter, a quest that narrator Jenna Berk performs with empathy and authenticity. Berk movingly evokes Hjalmarsson's emotional highs and lows as she tries special schools, diets, therapy sessions, and more, all to find out what helps Lina and what doesn't. Berk's performance is especially radiant when her voice expresses the joy in Hjalmarsson's moments of connection with her daughter, and listeners will come away with an appreciation for Hjalmarsson's strength and courage.

In many ways, this is my story

I approach books about autism, and especially autism in girls, with trepidation. I have a nine year old daughter with autism, and sometimes, reading books about other children with autism can be very tough, as many books are full of judgement toward those who don't follow the same route to "cures" or believe in the same things as being the "cause". This is not one of those books. Helena Hjalmarsson, for the most part, just tells the story of her daughter Lina's regression in autism, and describes with so much love and honesty what life with Lina is like. Lina would probably be described, as is my daughter, as "low-functioning", although that term doesn't capture either of them well.

Publisher's Summary:

Did you hear the severe autism alert sirens wailing? Did that storm luckily miss you and yours? Not us. Our family took a direct hit.

I Might Be You is a fresh look at the damage and emerging sun as told by an adult with autism who is, "disguised as a poor thinker," but has much to say yet does not speak, and a therapist who helps rebuild. With experience, wit, warmth, and wisdom these two collaborate to rethink roles, expectations, treatment strategies, education, meaning, and the healing truth about connection. It is a must listen for overwhelmed parents, teachers and practitioners needing inspiration, and those with ASD seeking purpose as hope is found.

As you enjoy this highly entertaining, thought provoking, and deeply emotional account of life with autism, we invite you to discover who you might be and the unique contributions that may be yours to make. After all, "without you, I would not be me" (Native American Proverb).

An amazing and inspiring story

This book is Barb's story as told by both authors (a woman with autism and the educational psychologist who helped her connect with herself and with others--and who became a friend). It is a story of persistence, creativity, insight, and inspiration. The story should remind all of us to question stereotypes, diagnoses, prognoses, and other judgments that may reflect limitations on the part of the person making them as much as (or more than) limitations on the part of the person being described. It also should serve as a reminder that people with autism--even those toward the more severe end of the spectrum--are individuals who have different personalities, desires, and abilities, and they may respond to different types of intervention. There may not be a panacea for autism, but individuals who have autism ARE human beings who deserve understanding and respect. Not everyone with autism may be able to accomplish what Barb has, but most of us who do NOT have autism cannot accomplish what she has either. Both Barb and Lois are amazing women, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by them.

This book changed me

I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. Please don't be fooled -- it is not just a book for those whose lives are touched directly by autism. No, it's a book for anyone who has ever sought connection -- with themselves, with their fellow human beings, with the world around them, with God.

And somehow, even as it reads like a manual for how to achieve those connections, it manages to be funny as hell. Barb invites you to laugh with her -- she dares you to laugh at yourself as she does herself. Her humor was, for me, the most delicious surprise of all.

It is not remotely an exaggeration to say that this book has changed me. It has made me a better mother, a better advocate for my autistic daughter, and, above all, a better person. I want to be Barb when I grow up.

Read the book.

Title: Who I Be

Author: Annie Brown

Narrator: Jessica Geffen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-17-13

Publisher: Annie Brown

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Have you looked in the mirror recently? Was the person looking back at you the person you used to be or are you not sure who is starring back at you. Sometimes during the course of life we allow ourselves to become what society says we ought to be. Society and it's norms should not be how we define ourselves. God has made each one of us to be unqiuely different and special in our own right. When we take the time to examine ourselves we may be surprised how much of the real us is gone. Physically we disfigured ourselves or made ourselves sick trying to measure up to how society says we ought to look or be.

Who I Be is personal. It is time that we focus on who and how God intended for us to be. We were fearfully and wonderfully made and we should find satisfaction in being made in God's image and not who or what society says we should be. Our physical, emotional, mental, and financial status does not make us. Who I Be is about the person who can be themselves and not be stressed or anixous about becoming another product of circumstances or norms to be wholly.

`Contemplate who you are, not who you think you need to be.'

Alabama author Annie Brown is a Medical Social Worker at Lakeside Hospice, Inc. in Pell City, Alabama. She attended the University of Alabama and was awarded a Masters degree in Social Work with a concentration on children, adolescents and families. Her special areas of expertise include working with Veterans with both PTSD and Tramatic Brian Injuries, being certified by the National Alliance for Mental Illness to teach Family to Family, and being a licensed minister in her church. It is the combination of all of these interests that impact the message of this book.

Trust, love, hope, dream. These signifiers set the spirit of this gentle little book by Annie Brown. Knowing that many people are suffering from identity crisis issues - how do I fit into this chaotic world, what do people think of me, where is my spiritual connection, and can I be all things to all people who depend on me, and more. In her approach to the reader to help answer these troublesome questions she does not blindly lead the reader to use some of the ususal religious book `irrefutable demands'. She encourages seeking help from doctors, counselors and ministers when self doubt presents a coping problem.

Where Annie Brown becomes most credible is in her relating her own life experiences. The manner in which she describes her life allows connection with her and enhances her stance. But ultimately Annie Brown returns to her profound spiritual beliefs and encourages the reader to look in the mirror, remember that we are made in God's image, absorb that reality and find solace and pride there and let the doubts be dismissed. Yes, this is a religious book written by a minister, but Annie Brown absorbs life experiences with that make her convictions honest and credible and comforting. Grady Harp, March 14

Turn to this Book When You Need Some Words of Wisdom

I certainly wasn't expecting this to be as moving or thought-provoking as it turned out to be. I have had a somewhat mixed relationship with my faith in recent years, and I have turned in a number of directions. I have spoken to non-religious friends, devoutly religious family members, and even members of the clergy. I haven't found the sort of advice or wisdom that I could really use or apply in my life, which has led to a decent amount of frustration.

Improving brain health!

This book talks about improving one's memory bank, and that is our brain. If one has a healthy and efficient brain, for sure one will have a great memory. Though the contents of the book can be found from other books which discuss the same topic -memory. What compelled me to give a 5 star rating is the writer's approach -clear and easy to understand and the ideas are well-organized.

Highly recommended for everyone, especially for beginners (not for those people who would like to compete in memory championships.)

It's great.

This is the great and very interesting book to read.So for your great experience, pls. try it as soon. :-)

Title: Learn to Improve Your Memory

Subtitle: Fascinating Ways to Sharpen and Improve Memory

Author: Robert Knightwell

Narrator: Todd Barsness

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr

Language: English

Release date: 01-04-13

Publisher: AJK Lohman Publishers

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

It is a common misconception that memory decays with age. This can only happen when a person does not use their memory properly. A person's memory is just like a muscle. The more it is used, the stronger it gets. When neglected, it atrophies and becomes weak. This is why people often struggle with memory as they age. If a person instead chooses to continue learning new things in their later years, practices memory-improving exercises, keeps their imagination alive and allows themselves to be open to new experiences, they can prevent this from happening.

There are three different kinds of memory and this book explains it all. What seems like such a simplistic function is actually a quite complicated process. A series of neural connections in the brain hold an unbelievable amount of data. When you have the ability to access this data in an organized fashion, you have a heightened ability to create and learn new ideas. Each time you have a new experience and your mind can recall this information, it serves as both a road map to success and a warning sign for danger.

Title: Adult Children of Abusive Parents

Subtitle: Understanding for Adult Children That Suffered Under Abusive Parents

Author: Gary Sandalson

Narrator: Tyler Crandall

Format: Unabridged

Length: 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-25-12

Publisher: JK Publishing II

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Adults who have suffered from an abusive childhood often have a difficult time functioning normally and forming meaningful relationships. They grew up in an environment that was considered abnormal by society's standards, so it becomes very hard for them to understand what exactly a normal relationship is.

The mental and social effects of emotional abuse are perhaps the most complicated and prevalent. No matter what type of abuse a child suffers from, they will experience some kind of emotional or social consequence as a result. Once the child becomes an adult, these traits or thinking patterns have become second nature and it becomes far more difficult to change.

A person's will is at the heart of their ability to change. Will is what controls the human personality. It gives a person permission to express themselves. Will must give them permission to change, in order for reprogramming of the mind to truly work. When a person takes control of their conditioning, they take back the keys to their own destiny. They no longer allow their traumatic past to control their lives or allow others to manipulate them.
