Chris Hanson, BS of Life Skills Advocate, partnered with Amy Sippl, MS, BCBA, has produced a thoughtful, far-reaching tool kit, The Real Life Executive Functioning Workbook: A Handbook of Exercises to Help Unique Learners for supporting neurodiverse young people as they attempt to master difficult skills and concepts such as emotion regulation and time management. The exercises in this manual are deeply researched, and carefully written for adaptability to a wide range of abilities in its users. Equally appreciable, it's playful - many of the illustrations had me laughing out loud. When I look at this kind of book to consider whether to recommend it to my clients, I ask myself if I might be able to use it. That answer was "Yes." I found many of its observations valuable, despite the fact that I, far as I know, am neurotypical.
I feel like I did when I went to listen to my son give his dissertation for his PHD in Bio-Statistics, I understood his name and not much else.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 You would have no way of knowing this, but you've just made my year. My ex-husband was finishing his PhD while we were still married, Computer Sciences. I was one of the people who proofread his dissertation. To this day (!!!!) one of my proudest moments was of me finding a typo in one of his mathematical formulas, a page long. To this second, I don't know what the mistake was - all I knew was that something, one of the open-parentheses/closed parentheses pairings didn't match up. But I couldn't tell you which! 😁Lauren
Hi Lauren- I'm going to listen to this when I have time to give it my full attention. I have a family member who while bright learns at his own pace.
