Avoiding Anxiety in Autistic Adults

One of the biggest challenges if you are an autistic adult (or suspect you might be) is navigating the situations which to the predominantly neurotypical population might appear completely benign but which cause you huge stress, anxiety and worry.

Dr Luke Beardon has put together an optimistic, upbeat and readable guide that will be essential reading not just for any autistic adult, but for anyone who loves, lives with or works with an autistic person.

Breath
£9.99Breath
300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens had bigger skulls. Cooked food meant our heads shrunk; alongside a growing brain, our airways got narrower. Urbanisation then led us to breathe less deeply and less healthily. And so today more than 90% of us breathe incorrectly. So we might have been breathing all our life, but we need to learn how to breathe properly! Here, James Nestor meets cutting-edge scientists at Harvard and experiments on himself in labs at Stanford to see the impact of bad breathing. He revives the lost, and recently scientifically proven, wisdom of swim coaches, Indian mystics, stern-faced Russian cardiologists, Czechoslovakian Olympians and New Jersey choral conductors – the world’s foremost ‘pulmonauts’ – to show how breathing in specific patterns can trigger our bodies to absorb more oxygen, and he explains the benefits for everyone that result.

Calm
£8.99Calm
A simple, gentle and visual guide to finding your inner calm, featuring Fearne’s hand drawn illustrations throughout. In today’s always on world, for many of us it seems impossible to relax, take time-out or mute the encircling ‘noise’. It is easy to feel trapped in a frenzied state of mind: we are surrounded by negative stories in the press, weighed down by pressures from school, work or family life and subject to constant scrutiny under the all-seeing eye of social media. As a result, mental health illnesses are on the rise in every age group and more of us than ever before yearn for silence, peace and calm. As the ambassador for MIND, the UK’s leading mental health charity, Fearne is passionate about helping others navigate the digital age healthily and happily.

Connections
£20.00Connections
In this ground-breaking tour of the human mind, a world-renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist explores the origins of human emotion through the stories of his patients. Why do we feel what we feel? How do we define ‘sanity’? Can a lost mind be found again? Since the dawn of humankind, mental illness has been one of our greatest causes of suffering as a species. But for the majority of our history, its causes have remained a mystery. Now, science has reached a tipping point. In ‘Connections’, Professor Karl Deisseroth shares his breakthrough discovery, Optogenetics, a biological technique that allows us to decipher the brain’s inner workings using light.

Guidance From the Greatest
£9.99Guidance From the Greatest
The Coronavirus pandemic forced the great British people to dig to the very depths of their resolve. It was during this crisis, the gravest crisis the country has faced since the Second World War, that members of the greatest generation – Tom Moore, Dame Vera Lynn, the Queen – proved vital reminders of the self-effacing stoicism required in times of emergency; to summon our ‘Blitz spirit’ and to ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’. Taking twelve qualities of the wartime generation, including fellowship, courage and integrity, and drawing on personal interviews with over two hundred Second World War veterans – from SAS officers to London firewomen to Dame Vera herself – ‘Guidance from the Greatest’ shows us how we can improve our individual character and our collective approach to life.
