Welcome to Litsy!

Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are�these are what Deborah Reber is calling the �differently wired� kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger�s, giftedness, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as hard�struggling to find the right school, the right therapist, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what�s normal, what�s not, and how to handle it all. But now there�s hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a bestselling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger�s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and the best kind of been-there, done-that companion. On the one hand it�s a book of saying NO, and how it�s time to say no to trying to fit your round-peg kid into society�s square holes, no to educational and social systems that don�t respect your child, no to the anxiety and fear that keep parents stuck. And then it�s a book of YES. By offering 18 paradigm shifts�what she calls �tilts�� Reber shows how to change everything. How to �Get Out of Isolation and Connect.� �Stop Fighting Who Your Child Is and Lean In.� �Let Go of What Others Think.� �Create a World Where Your Child Can Feel Secure.� �Find Your People (and Ditch the Rest).� �Help Your Kids Embrace Self-Discovery.� And through these alternative ways of being, discover how to stay open, pay attention, and become an exceptional parent to your exceptional child.
