Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads takes the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport's underreported worst tragedies and their cover-ups, at major universities, obscure junior colleges, and high schools.

Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neurodivergent child makes parenting several times more challenging. Neurodivergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical.

„Díky autismu nejste zákonitě ani zajímavější, ani geniální matematik, to je jen klišé z filmů. Všichni si myslí, že když jím trpíte, musíte mít nějakou zvláštní schopnost – nějaký dar. Ale nemusíte. Můžete být prostě jen postižení. Máte problémy se sociální interakcí, komunikací a vymýšlíte si stupidní rituály. Žádná věda v tom není." Přesto autismus dovede člověka mnohé naučit. Třeba, že co se zdá být snazší, nemusí být zároveň správné. Originální audiokniha v podání Davida Novotného obsahuje první i druhý díl autorových vtipných postřehů z práce s dětmi s poruchou autistického spektra.

Purtroppo, però, il termine "essere sensibile" viene spesso pronunciato con una sfumatura negativa. Potrebbe aver notato che suo figlio percepisce determinati stimoli, a prescindere dal livello, in modo particolarmente intenso o addirittura più prontamente di lei. Potrebbe anche essere che suo figlio si ritiri più spesso, che voglia stare da solo o che urli e si arrabbi ad alta voce da un secondo all'altro.

Kinder, die wenig schlafen, sich sehr viel bewegen oder stundenlang in einer Ecke sitzen bleiben, immer wieder Blockaden oder plötzliche, nicht nachvollziehbare Wutanfälle haben, werden bei der Suche nach konkreter Hilfestellung oft problematisiert und in eine Schublade gesteckt.
