Unmasking for life : the autistic person's guide to connecting, loving, and living authentically / by Price, Devon,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Most masked Autistics have spent a lifetime being told how to perform neurotypically: how to behave, how to carry themselves, what to feel, and how to live. With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and tools to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don't always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing -- they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness. Enter Unmasking for Life, which provides the resources to help you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving, and being that work with your disability rather than against it. You'll learn how to develop five key skills for building authentic relationships and living unmasked: Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty; Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement; Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations; Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked; Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living. Unmasking for Life will help validate and support you so you can move beyond unmasking your Autism and begin unmasking your world"--

Babylon's ashes / by Corey, James S. A.,author.;
"A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood. The Free Navy - a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships - has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them. James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone. Outnumbered and outgunned, the embattled remnants of the old political powers call on the Rocinante for a desperate mission to reach Medina Station at the heart of the gate network. But the new alliances are as flawed as the old, and the struggle for power has only just begun. As the chaos grows, an alien mystery deepens. Pirate fleets, mutiny, and betrayal may be the least of the Rocinante's problems. And in the uncanny spaces past the ring gates, the choices of a few damaged and desperate people may determine the fate of more than just humanity"--Provided by publisher.

The Empire. by Dumont, Bruno,film director.; Vartolomei, Anamaria,actor.; Vlieghe, Brandon,actor.; Cottin, Camille,actor.; Luchini, Fabrice,actor.; Khoudri, Lyna,actor.; Kino Lorber (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Anamaria Vartolomei, Brandon Vlieghe, Camille Cottin, Fabrice Luchini, Lyna KhoudriOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 2024.In a quiet and picturesque fishing village in Northern France, a very special child is born, unleashing a secret war between extraterrestrial forces of good and evil. In an attempt to restore their empires, two opposing forces from the depths of outer space, One and Zero, unleash an apocalyptic conflict on Earth. The villainous Zero forces secretly take over the bodies of village locals in order to foster pandemonium on our planet. At the same time, a new species engineered by the One is working towards a new, harmonious evolution. While waiting for the final battle, the imperial legions struggle to win humanity over to their cause. If that all sounds a bit out there, that’s because this slapstick space opera comes from the singular mind of Bruno Dumont (France, Slack Bay). Featuring wonderfully bizarre performances from French stars like Fabrice Luchini, Camille Cottin, and Anamaria Vartolomei, this gonzo sci-fi spectacle is part Star Wars, part Spaceballs, and 100% Dumont.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
