Story26
Freya Lewis was just three metres away from the terrorist who detonated the bomb at the Manchester arena on the night of 22nd May 2017. Her best friend Nell was tragically killed, but Freya - thrown forwards by the blast - somehow survived. She suffered 29 separate injuries, was in a coma for five days and wheelchair-bound for three months. Yet just 12 months later, she was on her feet, running the Junior Great Manchester Run and raising £60,000 for the hospital that saved her.

Eddie Ndopu was born in 1990 with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare degenerative motor-neuron disease, and told that he wouldn't live beyond age five. Now, thirty-one years old and stronger than ever, he continues to celebrate each turn around the sun as an existential defiance of the odds. Gay, Black and a wheelchair user, he is now an eminent thought-leader and holds positions at two of the most important organizations on the planet. Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw is Eddie's odds-obliterating story that illustrates what true leadership can look like.

The stories in this book are about women who are married to, or were once partnered with, men on the mild end of the autism spectrum, formerly known as Asperger’s syndrome. These women are not autistic, so their relationships are considered neurodiverse (meaning there’s a neurotypical person in a relationship with a neurodivergent person). The focus within the stories is Cassandra Syndrome. A very life-altering phenomenon that often occurs—and usually remains unaddressed—within these relationships.

In April of 2004, the long downward spiraling of Amy Bingaman's mental illness could no longer be hidden or ignored much less written off as a side-product of a colorful and quirky character. With no family able to help and no resources, she was involuntarily locked up in the draconian, archaic labyrinth that is the Wyoming Mental Health System. Armed with only a pocket dictionary and any paper she could find to write on, Amy wrote not only as a journal but at times as her only coping mechanism to salvage what was left of a breaking mind in a love/hate relationship with her alter-ego.

Story3
Blindness in the 1950s was a social stigma. Stephen's mother wanted a normal life for him, so he fought desperately to uphold the illusion of sight. For a child frantic to fit in, each day was an exhausting pretence. He managed to ride a bike, when even reading involved pressing his nose to the page and painfully forcing his eyes to concentrate. Head up, he strode through a carefully memorized labyrinth of streets, hoping to fool passers-by that he could actually see.

Vier Jahre lang schien die Welt um mich herum weiterzulaufen, während ich in einer unsichtbaren Blase gefangen war. Von lähmender Angst, tiefer Unsicherheit und sozialer Isolation geprägt, verließ ich kaum das Haus und kämpfte täglich gegen meine innere Stimme, die mich immer wieder zurückzog. Dieses Buch erzählt offen und ehrlich von meiner persönlichen Reise durch die Dunkelheit einer schweren psychischen Erkrankung. Es beschreibt den Schmerz des Alleinseins, die Verzweiflung, die Frage nach der eigenen Stärke – und vor allem den unerschütterlichen Willen zur Veränderung.

Hallo, ich bin eine Autistin im "Spektrum" und erfuhr es erst mit 30 Jahren! Natürlich war ich bei einem Spezialisten, denn zu Anfang konnte ich mir nicht vorstellen, tatsächlich eine Autistin zu sein. Denn ich hatte keine Ahnung von Autismus. Das was ich las, gefiel mir nicht. Um es kurz zu machen, ich wollte keine Autistin sein, bin es aber und es war ein heftiger Schock, behindert zu sein, ohne es gewusst zu haben. Neben dem Schock, fühlte ich mich schrecklich alleine und irgendwie von mir selbst im Stich gelassen. Denn ich lebte ein Leben, womit ich nicht klar gekommen bin.

Just like fox, Heidi has lived on the outer. The ‘official record’ of her life has been her mental health record: primary diagnosis – schizoaffective; comorbidity – major depression, juvenile autism and not her own memories. This is the living, breathing version of Heidi’s mental health file that psych wards, doctors, mental health staff or rehab workers know little about or worse, use as evidence of diagnoses. This is Heidi’s account of what happened, shadowed by the story of a fox who knows he'll never belong.
