Abstract

Who Else Needs Help and Advice With Autism, Aspergers, ASD ?

"Would you like step-by-step guidance to make talking to
your kids about different situations easier ?"

From: Kerri Stocks
Wednesday, 3:45 p.m.

Dear Fellow Parent,

My son has Autism, and I also have a younger daughter.

He was affected very strongly by his social surroundings, and his
emotions overloaded him every minute.

Here's what I did to help, and here's what I've got to offer you:-

" I developed 4 books to help my children keep their power and self
dignity in tact."

( I have over thirteen years experience with ASD / Aspergers / Autism,
both as a mother and as a consultant to parents, as well as holding
academic qualifications as 'Post Grad Cert in Advanced Disabilities
Studies' )

These 4 books are written in step-by-step format to make talking to
kids about different situations easier for parents.

Due to all parents having extremely busy lifestyles, it can become like
just another chore to have to listen and breakdown our children's daily
experiences and issues, and even then we may struggle to have the right
words.

Children have a mountain of situations happen to them daily, and
without the appropriate advice and strategies to assist them in dealing
with these, they most likely show their discomfort and distress in
behavioral manners that are deemed inappropriate in society.

I have called my 4 books, "Rules Of The Game", Book 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Here are the 4 "Rules Of The Game" books
- Topics covered in Book 1
* Emotions and Feelings
* Reflecting
* Communicate
* Rules
* Idioms
* Responsible
* You are OK
* Body Language
* Different Perspectives
* Exceptions To The Rules

- Topics covered in Book 2
* Think It - Don't Say It
* Taking The Blame
* Me, Me, Me
* Copying
* Cheezed Off
* When They Stare
* It's Worth A Try
* Mistakes, Oops

- Topics covered in Book 3
* Unspoken Expectations
* Words
* Expectations
* Respect
* Choices
* Opinions
* Disappointed
* Pretending
* Just Pick It Up

- Topics covered in Book 4
* Hurting On The Inside
* Bullies
* Just Ask
* Look At Me
* Hush
* When Things Just Suck
* Remember ... What ?
* Up words and down words
* Getting to know me
* This Is Me mini book
* So......you're snowballing
* Thoughts=Feelings=Responses
* Re-Think It !
* Do you feel what I feel ?
* Teachers Role

Children are not born with the knowledge of emotions nor social
situations, regardless of label or no label.

I believe some children `go with the flow' and this can assist in
making them seem `normal' and `able to understand their social
surroundings'.

Others do not `go with the flow' and hence the negative reactions they
will show throughout their days to express this discomfort they are
experiencing.

The "Rules of the Game" books allow children to understand their
emotions
They learn about the world's 'social ways' and also allows them to
learn
what responsibility they own, and what responsibility does not belong
on their shoulders, and in fact belongs to another person.

These books are very thorough and are not just books that can be read
and put away.

They were developed so parents and children can use them daily, flick
to whichever topic suits the situation and read through it, then mould
it to fit different situations.

They are broken up into different stories, and when used consistently,
allows the child to take the knowledge and utilize it in the every day
situations.

Allowing the child to break down situations into different segments
(e.g. if someone says something offensive they can think to themselves,
"oh that is an opinion and everyone has one, and it does not mean it is
the truth") allows for a sense of control and understanding, and they
can then focus on what is important in their lives, and not waste time
in becoming worked up on things they cannot control.

The "Rules of the Game" books were initially developed for my son
and daughter to assist them with their every day experiences.

"If for ANY reason
you don't like my books
I'll Refund Your Money.

You'll also get to keep all 4 of the books,
and the bonus books anyway (for free)
just because you took the time to
see if the books helped you.

(To be fair, this offer is valid for 60 days.)

Adam J. W. Walker

"...work such as Kerri's is critical in modern times, particularly when
the mental health industry has much to answer for in relation to the
wider social implications it has created..."

" Contrived out of first hand experience, Kerri has a wealth of
practical knowledge regarding the difficulties that kids face when
growing up with developmental and social conditions.

Even more valuable to parents and professionals alike, her
determination to express that knowledge in an easily digestible format
is inspiring and commendable.

The technique she employs is simple, fun, and symbolically
assimilating, especially for those without a background in behavioural
sciences because the language and concepts she uses is plain enough for
anyone to understand.

Practical, front-line work such as Kerri's is critical in modern times,
particularly when the mental health industry has much to answer for in
relation to the wider social implications it has created.

Parents need to have resources that help them dissolve the myths about
the rigid ways they have been lead to believe kids fit into
contemporary society and empower them with the insight to help their
children flourish, regardless of any behavioural or social deficits.

Kerri's work aspires to provide these resources and make them easily
available to parents all around the globe."

"...Children with Spectrum Disorders often struggle in finding a way to
be understood..."

"As a social worker and therapist who has worked with children for over
17 years, I was thrilled to see a resource that will help children
navigate the complexity of communication and social interaction.

Children with Spectrum Disorders often struggle in finding a way to be
understood and to understand how to fit into the world around them.

"Rules of the Game" is a wonderfully crafted tool for parents and other
care givers to utilize in helping children communicate their needs,
understand social cues, and help the world understand them."

Jayne Holden

"...Every parent is sure to learn new and wonderful things about their
children by filling in these pages..."

"These simple no frills workbooks give lots of space to write and also
to add personal touches like favourite stickers or drawings and this
makes the books really unique to each child.

A beautiful idea and something to treasure forever. Every parent is
sure to learn new and wonderful things about their children by filling
in these pages."
Caroline - Minnesota USA

"...Kerri is an extremely passionate person who is unselfishly sharing
her own experiences and using her creative skills to produce a people
friendly range of resources that are captivating, educational and
interesting for families supporting family members with Aspergers
syndrome and Autistic Spectrum Disorder..."

To Whom it May Concern.

Reference - Kerri Stocks

Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with pleasure that I am able to provide positive information in
regard to Kerri Stocks and her business.

Kerri has shown a tremendous amount of initiative, courage and
creativity in developing a business that is designed to fill a much
needed void in a very difficult and emotional area for a growing number
of people and families.

Despite the daily challenges within her own family, she has developed
this business from a practical perspective blended with her own
personal experiences. Kerri is an extremely passionate person who is
unselfishly sharing her own experiences and using her creative skills
to produce a people friendly range of resources that are captivating,
educational and interesting for families supporting family members with
Aspergers syndrome and Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

I have had the opportunity to see some of her resources and share them
with families that I work with in my role as a Facilitator with
Disability Services Family Support Program. The response from these
families has been very positive and they comment on the insight and
learning that Kerri's resources contain. Kerri's warm and engaging
personality is an attribute that makes her an ideal person to
communicate with people in the same or similar situation to herself.
Her presentations are fun learning and educational experiences for her
audiences.

I believe that Kerri has the commitment and determination to succeed
with her business despite the challenges that she has that many others
don't face when developing a business.
Yours sincerely,
Gerald Wyatt,
Facilitator - Family Support Program

"...You have a unique ability to get inside the minds of these special
people and be their voice..."

"I really need to say that I have very much enjoyed your newsletters
and the book which I have read.

You have a unique ability to get inside the minds of these special
people and be their voice.

This is a great help the average parent who struggles to understand
what is happening inside their heads.

Understanding this leads to greater patience and tolerance.

Outlining your personal experiences with the school system also helps
parents to realize they are not alone in this confusing world nor are
their children as terrible as they can appear.

With patience and work there is hope.

Thank you for being a pioneer in this area.

I would recommend your books and newsletters to anyone looking for help
in this area."

Reading the stories in the books helped my children to "read" their
surroundings, broaden their perspectives, learn morals, respect and
self responsibility, and finally experience joy. Once they were able to
do this were they then able to succeed academically.

I have a deep compassion for children with Autism / Aspergers / ASD
and my goal is to assist parents with obtaining knowledge
that will enable their children to evolve in a society
that is not always kind and compassionate.

I am sharing this information to make it easier for parents to think
about what their children need to learn, and how to teach it in a
manner that keeps the child's self dignity in tact and keeps the child
engaged long enough to absorb it.

Your 3 Super Free Bonus Workbooks
All included at no extra cost for a limited time.
- Free Bonus #1 "This Is Me For Oldies"

Why did I develop the "This is Me" series of workbooks ?

I developed them for my children so I had a record of who they
genuinely were as unique individuals.

The books allowed me to document specific needs, wants, information
about them, their likes, and dislikes as well.

The books also allowed me peace from having to constantly repeat myself
when I was face to face with yet again another individual who would be
working with my children.

I developed a "This is Me" book for parents, to share who they are,
their wants and needs, for their children to read if they should
suddenly pass away.

I believe that until we learn about who we are, residing within a
family, then we can all have compassion towards each other and have a
successful flowing life.
- Free Bonus #2 "This Is Me For Kids"

This book has been made so you can learn about your child.

Inside this book are all the things that make your child who they are.

It will help their transition into your family be a lot smoother for
everyone.

Your child has lived a life that is different to yours and been brought
up differently to you - they may not be able to mould into your belief
system easily or ever.

With this book, you will learn things that may have taken a long time
to learn and this will help stop a lot distress for each other.

You will learn their likes and dislikes, what makes them sad and what
makes them happy.

You will learn what makes them the person that they are.

They may still be little, but they have an opinion - they have a
personality and they are a separate individual.

Just because they are little, doesn't mean that they aren't still a
person.
- Free Bonus #3 "This Is Me For Mum and Dad"

This book has been filled with a lot of different personal things about
Mum and Dad.

I am hoping that through reading this book you will learn of the love
we have always had for you.

We will tell you about what it was like for us as a child, funny
stories we want to share, and our dreams.

You will learn that there is more to us than just `Mum' or `Dad'.

We have loved, we have made mistakes and we have hurt.

We want to offer you advice that we have learnt on our journey through
life.

We want you to know about us as a person.

This book will help you, should anything unfortunate happen and we
never get that chance.

Just know that we love you and always will.

And here's an additional "Special offer" FREE Bonus I am
including for a strictly limited time

so that's 4 free bonuses I'm currently including
- Free Bonus #4 "Poetry For Emotion"

I remember as a child not having emotions explained to me and also
being told by some adults to "just get over it".

I believe if we validate and listen to how our children feel, this
brings a sense of normality and comfort to them and they will be
happier and healthier adults.

This series of comical poems helps to raise, in a non threatening
manner, some difficult issues faced by children, and encourages
laughter, open discussions and helps them to develop their own
practical strategies when faced with real life problems.

This book is full of A LOT of fun and engaging poems and very visual.
1) Butterfly Bob
2) Silly Sedrik
3) Disgusted Donna
4) Thinking Thelma
5) Unsure Unice
6) Ruthless Ryan
... and many more interesting characters.

Here is an explanation of one of the topics covered in book 2.

THINK IT, DON'T SAY IT �

I realised my children did not deliberately say things to hurt other
people; they simply spoke the truth as they saw it.

I don't believe in shaming children when they say something that may
bring embarrassment on my family and to me out in public, instead I
focus on teaching them the appropriate way.

My daughter spoke this `truth' quite often and it was extremely
embarrassing and yes I could have easily yelled at her and punished
her, but what would the point of been, what would that have achieved.

To a Childs mind they are stating a fact - if they see some one
overweight and mention it out loud, they are stating a fact. They are
not aware of the `social rules' nor do they have the ability to hold
their tongue and think it quietly.

In this story I validate the fact that what they are saying may be
fact, yet I also assist in helping the child to realise and become
aware of how the other person may feel hearing them say that.

(This assists with learning empathy, responsibility by helping the
child to think of how the other person may feel and see it, and then to
take the responsibility by not saying things that may hurt other
people's feelings.)

It is important to remember that children need to be reminded
consistently and repetitively on the different situations throughout my
books. They do not have the ability with such young minds and also
through their busy days to retrieve information for different
situations unless they are prompted.
Children are amazing little people. They adapt quite rapidly when given
the appropriate tools to work with.

If you notice the words I have bolded, they are very empowering words.
They are very successful, strong and amazing life lessons for children
to grow with.

Will it fix my child ?

I developed this whole package with the mind set that
did not include the child needing to be `fixed'.

Trust me, I live it - the `fixing' does not start with the kids!

P.S. Autism, Aspergers, ASD - What a burden for a person, especially a
child to have to carry around with them. These unspoken labels attached
to them. This made me start to join the pieces and realise why my son
was fighting so much - why he was so despondent, unresponsive and
basically just existing in this world, not enjoying it and certainly
made sense why he hated himself so much.
(Bad; naughty; bad parenting; manipulative; rude; ignorant; useless;
worthless; "don't play with him/her"; retard; weirdo; freak; loser;
idiot; annoyance; pain; trouble; creep; mistake; not normal; brat;
liar; undisciplined; to much work; ungrateful; trouble maker.)

Unfortunately when a child has a `behavioural issue' label, they are
carrying with them more than just one. Assumptions are automatically
made, whether consciously or subconsciously.

So whether people want to admit it or not, this is what Aspergers /
Autism / ASD means to society. You see it in behaviours from others,
you feel it in body language from others and I have met parents that
have had to practically sell their child to have them accepted into a
certain school.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
