The Worst Saturday Ever
"This book captivatingly gives a dive into the world of marginalized adolescents. Focusing on neurodivergents and their experiences in middle school, the story deeply portrays their struggles to assimilate, socialize and ultimately fit into what the society defines as success and the ideal. The super enlightening allegory is aptly wrapped around the themes of social assimilation, betrayal and self-making, and though in a different context, The Worst Saturday Ever brings to mind Toni Morrison’s notion of ‘others’. I find this intriguing allegory an insightful and an invaluable contribution to deconstructing the negative ‘othering’ of individuals, which undermines their uniqueness! We absolutely need a book like this. Adolescents, parents and teachers, and anyone connected to them or interested in neurodiversity and Artificial Intelligence will find this book appealing! It’s an enlightening allegory!"" Literature Researcher University of California Merced ""AI and Neurodivergence are Ka

Autism Recipe: Using Trust and Joy to Take Control of Wellness
Sharon Lemons was a young mother of three boys, ages seven, five, and one week, the day her two older children were diagnosed with autism. At a time when the diagnosis was still rare and interventions were new, expensive, and not always helpful, Sharon refused to let her children be another statistic. She determined to see them live healthy, successful lives.

Discovering Autism and the Comorbidities Along the BH4 Pathway
Life is replete with unpredictability, presenting challenges that often force us into roles we never envisioned for ourselves. This book serves as a detailed record of one such transformative journey—one that led me from being a parent navigating the labyrinthine world of healthcare and special education, to becoming an impassioned researcher committed to unraveling the complex mechanisms behind invisible illnesses. The catalyst for this intellectual and emotional voyage was none other than my daughter Kylie. When she received her diagnosis of nonverbal autism, the medical jargon and statistics suddenly became deeply personal, demanding more than a cursory understanding. It was this diagnosis that ignited an insatiable curiosity in me to dig deeper than what conventional wisdom offered, to seek answers not readily provided by the status quo of medical research.
