Infused with rare insights into the impetus behind autistic behaviors, The Fabric of Autism weaves the various threads of autism into a "makes-sense" theory, hard won through personal experience and decades of study. From neuroscientific research, explanations of developmental processes and clinical outcomes emerge the probable causes of autism. Both a significant clinical work and a moving memoir that illuminates the humanity hidden beneath the bewildering facade of autism. Theholistic approach presented here gives hope to parents, relatives and professionals working with those affected by autism.

ADD/ADHD has emerged as a significant concern, with estimates suggesting that 15% of Americans have a learning disability and autism rates rising alarmingly. Many overlook that the brain's adaptation to stimulation is a lifelong process and that neurological disorders can often be reversed. This anthology showcases true stories from individuals who experienced the pioneering Holistic Approach to NeuroDevelopment and Learning Efficiency (HANDLE®), offering a fresh perspective on neurological dysfunction and hope for treatment. HANDLE utilizes neuroscience to enhance human capabilities, providing support to families and professionals facing challenges related to Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism, Tourette’s Syndrome, Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities, Brain Injury, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, among others. Each story illustrates struggles, perseverance, enlightenment, healing, and triumph, collectively highlighting HANDLE’s significant impact on moving individuals from dysfunction to function and despair to fulfillment. The narratives are enriched by insights into HANDLE theory, presented as postscripts by Judith Bluestone, Founder and Educational Director of The HANDLE Institute. Discover the journeys of thirty individuals who have overcome neurodevelopmental difficulties through HANDLE, making for an enlightening reading experience.
