Boomer and Me : A Memoir of Motherhood, and Asperger's


Description

Me: 'Are you going to be a good boy this year?'Boomer: 'Uh huh. I have no interest in toilet humour.'Me: 'You don't?'Boomer: 'No. No interest at all. I mean, I think "it's funny" when, in The Bad Book, Terence takes off all his clothes. And when Horrid Henry shows his undies. But I would think to myself, "That is something I should not do".' Between juggling work, joint custody and the ordinary demands of motherhood, Jo tries to work out why her son Leo (aka Boomer) is finding it hard to fit in. His wit wins him friends, but the rituals of friendship-like learning to compromise-are proving challenging. Is it because he's an only child? Could he be gifted? When Leo is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Jo fears what it means-and sees herself, and her family, through new eyes. Trapped in a cycle of doubt and discovery, she wonders how you can stay true to who you are and fit in. What the hell is 'normal' anyway? This is the bittersweet story of a twenty-first-century family, and why being different isn't a disability-it just takes some getting used to.

In these pages, Lama Yeshe guides readers through the tantric practice of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, basing his instructions on a text written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama at age nineteen. He gives Boomer and Me : A Memoir of Motherhood, and Asperger's pdf special emphasis to mahamudra, the emptiness of one's own mind, and demystifies these esoteric techniques, clearly showing them for what they are: highly developed psychology. Throughout, Lama Yeshe presents his approachable teachings by drawing on examples from daily life and introducing meditation practices that all can follow. "Becoming the Compassion Buddha" is an extraordinary book that opens new doors for countless readers. Each and every one of Evans s innovative recipes pops with flavor and is brought to life with stunning, full-color photography. Living and eating the Paleo lifestyle has never been so effortless and so delicious."
