L'autismo è associato a una serie di qualità molto ricercate dai datori di lavoro, tra cui affidabilità, perseveranza, attenzione ai dettagli, creatività nella risoluzione di problemi e molte altre. La chiave per riuscire professionalmente sta nel comprendere quali sono questi punti di forza e chiarire quale supporto serve per riuscire al meglio. Questo manuale di auto-aiuto propone consigli, strategie e attività per gestire le difficoltà che si possono incontrare al lavoro e offre alle persone nello spettro strumenti utili per ridurre al minimo l'ansia, il sovraccarico sensoriale, gli schemi di pensiero inutili, le difficoltà di comunicazione sociale e i problemi di organizzazione e pianificazione. Le attività sono interattive e possono essere approcciate a seconda delle esigenze, distribuendole nella giornata o nella settimana. Il manuale contiene tutto che ciò che serve per impostare e realizzare gli obiettivi di lavoro e può essere utilizzato anche con l'appoggio di un mentore.

Con l'amore karmico e la cronaca di un risveglio, Tony Vero conduce i suoi lettori alla scoperta del suo mondo, fatto di valori veri e profondi e di conoscenze sofferte e illuminanti. Un esperienza realmente vissuta di metempsycosis e samsara, è il primo volume della serie di quattro intitolata: 'L'immortalità è la memoria', con la quale, l'autore, conduce per mano i lettori facendogli vivere le esperienze dei suoi viaggi, le sue donne e il mare, la sua vita e... una diversa visione della morte.

Angola, la più magica delle terre d'Africa. Una magia di cui è intrisa l'intera opera che, sul filo di una narrativa avvincente, mostra le luci e le ombre dell'epopea della lotta di liberazione dell'ex Impero coloniale portoghese. La bellissima capitale, Luanda, i suoi intrighi, le sue notti indimenticabili e le genti dell'altopiano, perennemente in lotta anche tra loro, fanno da sfondo alla breve vita della protagonista Marçela Cadìz. Eroina della rivoluzione dei garofani, pasionaria e leader di una formazione combattente che tentò di impedire la nuova colonizzazione dell'Angola, da parte delle truppe cubane che l'occuparono, subito dopo la smobilitazione dell'esercito coloniale portoghese. Un grande amore cui Tony Vero ha dedicato questo libro, il terzo volume della saga di Tony Vero, in perenne memoria di giorni che è valsa la pena vivere.

Is this the end of the Alien Mission?

All things must come to an end -- even sixth grade. But not all things end happily, and it looks as if Pleskit Meenom's year as a sixth grade alien is about to end in catastrophe as Earth is swept by rumors that something horrible has happened at the alien embassy. Soon anti-alien demonstrations erupt outside Pleskit's school.

Who is behind the rumors? Is there really a secret enemy on the embassy staff? What happens if the mission fails?

When Pleskit disappears, those questions take on new urgency. Desperate to answer them, Pleskit's friends Tim Tompkins and Rafaella Cruz are forced to team up with Tim's old enemy, Jordan Lynch, to save the mission...and Earth!

When the hamsters in Ms. Weintraub's room start acting a little strange, everyone thinks the problem must be the alien vitamins that Pleskit has been feeding them.

But even after Pleskit stops the vitamin treatments, the hamsters continue to get bigger -- and stronger -- and crankier.

Clearly, something else is at work. But what?

To answer that question, Tim and Pleskit will have to solve a mystery, track down an enemy, and defend themselves against a trio of the most dangerous hamsters the world has ever seen!

Two Feet of Trouble!

Pleskit has always said that he's not necessarily the first alien kid to go to school on Earth. He's just the only one who's doing it openly.

Tim discovers the truth of those words when he meets a two-foot-tall alien, Beebo, who is stranded here and wants desperately to get back to his own planet. Unfortunately, Beebo's presence on Earth could cause a diplomatic disaster. So Pleskit can't ask his Fatherly One for help.

And help is what the boys need, because Beebo is an imp! He's hooked on mischief, and can't resist using his powers to cause chaos in the classroom and havoc on the homefront.

Pleskit and Tim have faced plenty of alien menaces. But can they survive an incredibly cute prankster who has a genuine gift for causing the most embarrassing trouble ever?

Tim Tomkins has always wanted to visit outer space -- but he didn't plan to go as the captive of a mysterious alien!

But that's just what Tim, Pleskit, Maktel, and Linnsy have become -- captives in an interstellar struggle for control of the galaxy. Can four kids from two very different planets learn to work together? They're going to have to, if they want to survive on the strange new world where they've been trapped. But even if they do survive, how will they ever find their way back home?

Join Pleskit and his friends for a race against time and incredible danger -- with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance!

ENDANGERED SPECIES

When Percy the Mad Poet assigns Ms. Weintraub's class to write poems about their pets, Pleskit decides he should bring his Veeblax to school.

Not a good idea! When the little shapeshifter frightens one of Pleskit's classmates, she freaks out -- and so do the newspapers. As the situation spins out of control, it becomes clear that Pleskit may lose his pet, his teacher may lose her job, and Earth may lose the benefits of the alien connection.

Running away may be the only way for Pleskit to save the Veeblax. But where can you run to when you're the only purple kid on the planet? And what do you do when something very strange starts following you?

MY BEST FRIEND IS A ZOMBIE!

It's science fair time again, and Tim Tompkins is in trouble. It's only two days until the big event, and he hasn't finished his project.

In fact, he hasn't even started it.

Given Tim's past history, this is no big surprise.

But this year Tim has a new resource -- his alien friend, Pleskit Meenom. Surely with his super science, Pleskit can help Tim come up with a knockout project for the science fair.

But Pleskit's potent potion turns out to have side effects that not even an alien could have expected, and soon he's desperately trying to answer the question: 'What do you do when you've just amputated your best friend's personality?'

IT'S A STICKY SITUATION!

Pleskit's quest to sample all things earthling -- especially earthling foods -- inevitably leads him to...peanut butter. He adores it. There's only one problem: He has an allergic reaction to the stuff that ends up making him feel incredibly romantic.

Before long, the purple alien is chasing girls around the playground, trying to kiss them. He gets a slap in the face, which snaps him back to reality. But the damage has been done. The school is in an uproar, and unless Tim and Pleskit can find a way to convince Principal Grand that it's not really Pleskit's fault, the world's first alien student may be looking for a new classroom -- on a new planet!

CALLING LOST AND FOUND -- HAVE YOU SEEN MY BRAIN?

Some kids lose their homework. Some kids lose their math book, or their sneakers, or their lunch.

Pleskit Meenom, first alien kid to go to school on Earth, has a bigger problem: He's lost his grandfather's brain!

Of course, that's not Pleskit's only problem. He's feuding with his best friend Tim. Someone is leaking stories about him to a sleazy supermarket tabloid. And sixth grade is turning out to be a bigger challenge than interplanetary navigation.

But if Pleskit can't find that missing brain, none of those other problems will matter, because his life won't be worth a plug skeelrag!

Pleskit, the world's first alien third grader, hopes to use her father's molecule compressor to teach a bully a lesson, but an accident shrinks both the bully and their teacher, with hilarious results. Original.

He came from the stars -- and sixth grade will never be the same!

The aliens have finally made contact! But when the first ambassador from another planet arrives, he insists that his son, Pleskit Meenom, be treated like any other citizen on Earth.

Which is why Pleskit has become the first purple kid in Ms. Weintraub's sixth grade class.

For Tim Tompkins, who has been waiting his entire life to meet an alien, this is like a dream come true. But when Pleskit invites Tim back to the embassy and they stumble across a plan to sabotage the alien mission, Tim's dream becomes a life-threatening nightmare.
