Top Reddit reviews mentioning Communicative Disorders in Special Ed. books:
if you expose a cat to a lot of weird things as a kitten, they're more used to it as an adult cat. like baths, strangers, car rides. riding on shoulders.
no, the cat doesn't really need lifelong baths, this could maybe even hurt the cat's coat if it happens a lot. But, kittens need to be shown a lot of stuff, there's a small kernel in that joke "all cats have aspergers".
This book does an excellent job of explaining the basics of ABA in understandable terms. It’s meant for parents from the perspective of a parent. It’s great!
The Verbal Behavior Approach: How to Teach Children With Autism and Related Disorders https://www.amazon.com/dp/1843108526/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E2C2GHNKEMK6SKTFJ53X
Kind of OT, but I own these two children's books:
Yup (it now has an updated version called All Cats are on the Autism Spectrum): https://www.amazon.com/All-Cats-Have-Asperger-Syndrome/dp/1843104814 , https://www.amazon.com/All-Cats-Are-Autism-Spectrum/dp/1787754715
I will do, the treatment is a bit pricey to be honest but I am honestly willing to try anything to help with my reading.
Davis Apparently it works by trying to get you to actively think about words that people with dyslexia and people with adhd often memorize but don’t put any thought into actually readying. It corrects your brain to actively sound the words out instead of read them based off of memorization.
Here is a book on it as well. Haven’t read it personally.
For someone new to the field, or pretty much anyone who wants to know more about ABA with a great explanation..."The Verbal Behavior Approach" by Mary Barbera. It gives simple explanations and examples and is for people who don't know all the ABA jargon.
How do you know your kitty has aspergers? Serious question! There's a book out there called 'All Cats Have Aspergers Syndrome' and it got me thinking!
Get this book if you don't have it - some great drives in here off the beaten path and a few you have probably already done.
maize_gear, if you don't already own it, I recommend picking up a copy of The Verbal Behavior Approach by Mary Barbara. Excellent resource for parents supporting a child with autism develop a verbal behavior repertoire. Best of luck!

I blame my lyrical issues on an (only self diagnosed) Audio Processing Disorder which I term being dysphonetic. Think of it like dyslexia, only with sound. I believe that it will become more commonly recognized.

I might not have the exact answer you're looking for but this book came to mind: http://www.amazon.com/All-Cats-Have-Asperger-Syndrome/dp/1843104814
I passed by this book when I worked at a Barnes and Noble and always found it mildly interesting..
Cats are a complete mystery to me and there may be explanations out there. Maybe some in books like this but I think their mysterious ways/quirks make them so fun to be around. And yes I realize the book is a children book about Aspergers.
Pick up Wild Roads Washington: 80 Scenic Drives to Camping, Hiking Trails, and Adventures—has plenty of great drives and information.
My son was/is similar to your's. He'll be turning 4 in another month. He could follow directions, but wouldn't respond, or simply parrot back the last word or phrase we said. We weren't super alarmed, but it was something that I knew would be tough in pre-school. We ended up putting him in at 2.9 yo to give him a trial time before he'd go in the fall. Needless to say, his lack of speech negatively affected him time at school (behavioral issues because he couldn't communicate) and thankfully through their recommendation we saw 0-3 which confirmed a need for speech therapy. It was the most wonderful thing. There was no concern of autism, just simply needing the extra time and help to develop his communication skills. And to be honest, being "autistic" isn't a horrible. A label actually gets you the help your kid needs to succeed and make the most of their early years. My son was missing out interacting with the neighborhood kids because he'd bite if he got upset. He's completing his first year of public school speech and had his re-evaluation today. He's made some wonderful progress, but will only express himself if he's interested, otherwise he shuts down or gives a one word answer. He'll continue speech therapy and at least I know that when he gets into the higher grade levels he'll have a much better foundation and won't still be dealing with simple communication problems. If you're in the US, 0-3 is free for testing and services. If the dad is super against anything (which to be honest is silly and only negatively affecting your son), do look into the book "My Toddler Talks". It gives you tips and tricks of speech therapy to do at home. Worth a read to help him out! Also, just as a note for younger is better for speech: they actually spend more time (and effectively) in the <3yo age group than older. I wish we had him evaluated sooner!
No no no. They've got it backwards.
If your insurance covers it, you should see an audiologist that specializes in CAPD. They are the only ones to my knowledge that have the capabilities to test and diagnose. Your psych is a good place to start though. They may able to refer you to someone because CAPD is a common comorbid condition. If my psych hadn't mentioned it to me when I was diagnosed with ADHD, I would never have known to seek out testing.
"When the Brain Can't Hear". This is a really comprehensive book on CAPD that I just finished reading. Very easy to read. She goes into detail about the subtypes and how they impact peoples lives. She also talks about treatment as well although
there's very little treatment for it other than education and environmental modification.

Another interesting thing I learned was how it impacted reading and writing. I have some difficulties in both of those areas (not significant but noticeable) and explained some struggles I have in college. I would have never put those things together.
Best of luck to you. I know how good it feels to sort things out. Sometimes just knowing about them is enough to really help you cope.
Are you being checked for Auditory Processing Disorder as well? There's a book called When the Brain Can't Hear that's by an audiologist, but written for the layperson - very easy to read.
This helped me quite a bit. Quite a bit as in A LOT. Along with audio books focusing on self compassion. Knowing that it's who I am, I cannot change it. Embrace it, and do the best. All about attitude.
Repost: Here's a link. Pick it up on Amazon for a couple dollars.
True, but it doesn't mean the books are not funny or have ill-advised elements that can be found humorous.
I work in a bookstore and there are many other books available for children with psychological, physiological, or developmental disorders. Some of them are funny and should be laughed at such as All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome. This is one of those books.
And it is a WTF moment if you were to just find this book with little to no context. Bipolar Bear? WTF?
Awesome.
Also, as a woman married to a dyslexic, I can totally understand how David got in over his head. The dyslexic mind is unique. There are a great many therapies out there for adults. http://www.doreusa.com/ is a fantastic one.
This book helped my husband to better understand himself. http://www.amazon.com/Gift-Dyslexia-Smartest-People-Read/dp/039952293X
I hope to be checking out the PS3 version of the Avenger when we get our tax return in April!
You've done an awesome job Batmoisés!
In addition, I recommend the gift of dyslexia
It presented an interesting view of phonetic dyslexia and I tend to utilize the framework presented in the book when considering the implications of my writing disorder.
