I had a feeling anything by Debi Pearl would be controversial. I have met Michael in person and do not appreciate him. This book by Debi is a different stripe from their other books. It is well researched and was reviewed by an ND, physical therapist and chiropractor. Many people who do not like the...

Two books that are helpful for parents and teachers, whether or not their children are neurodivergent: Despite the title, Debi Pearl's book is applicable to men as well. There is an entire chapter on the effects of porn on the brain. Create a Better Brain.JPG Childhood Development.JPG Dr. Oliver Sac...

I'd like to hear more about the lightening strike that got you, Robert. This is a unique and interesting thread. Keep them coming! Careful what you ask for. Here is something I wrote about 20 years ago. Thank you very much for sharing, Robert. Not sorry I asked! God moves in mysterious ways. May He...

Thank you, Ken_sylvania and Josh. The libraries in question are public places, funded by the state.

Forbes Health and Harvard Health both recently published peer-reviewed articles on neurodivergence. Numerous government and medical sites also have a wealth of information. My filter does not allow access to these so I cannot post links, but a quick check on a library computer confirmed that they ar...

Josh, I am sorry. It was not a personal attack at all. I was curious, respectfully so. I have a child who is neurodivergent, a sibling, an uncle, cousins and several close friends. It does NOT mean autistic. Someone with ADHD or ADD is considered neurodivergent. Personally I hate labels, but they c...
