Thank you for your permission to include your definitions. If you’d like, I’d be happy to send that segment for your review, prior to the final save/print. Also, if you want to send me exact credit verbiage as you’d/Sound True would like it, I’m happy to do that too.

Thanks again – I appreciate how you have broken things done in a simplified format and it is a great complement to what I workshop my recipients through. You’re just perfect timing on a few accounts for me – : ) Big appreciation, Mo

About the permissions: I think 500 words is a fair use limit, so you’d be under that if you’re just using the table of contents material. When you attribute, make sure to include the publisher and date of publication as well. Thanks.

Are you familiar with Michelle Garcia Winner? She is home-based up your way and might be a good resource for your upcoming work.

A few years ago, a student in the Child Development classs I speak to recrutied me to speak to her Theater of Diversity class at SDSU. It is interactive and compelling, yet not about emotions and if budget and the same Professor are there, I think you’d be a great asset to that group. Say the word (feel free to e-mail me privately) and I’d be happy to connect you.

Also, I have a personal request to incorporate your “laser” Chapter definitions in an eBook I am updating. It is called Walking through Life in Your Own Shoes!(tm) and has been around awhile. May I have your permission give the abridged definitions that you use in your TOC, to your credit?

I’ll be talking to a woman who teaches theater arts to disabled adults about my ideas for using actors to teach emotion recognition and management to people on the Spectrum. It should be interesting to see what can be done.

Additionally, I’ll tell you that my son has high functioning Asperger’s.

I agree with you that he recognizes emotions and is quite empathetic, dispelling the myth. That said; I must reveal that it is learned behavior, for him. He has his stock things said with endearing inflection which is a mixed bag. He has learned appropriate responses to get by in the neurotypical world, yet short circuits too.

Due to his high functioning, people tend to view him as someone with something that they just can’t quite put their finger on. Other children whose families I used to traditionally advocate for showed me the reality of the snowflakes in this spectrum. Taking additional trainings in how people view perspectives and social thinking has helped me to help others understand this. It’s interesting for sure.

I was drawn to The Language of Emotions for reasons that have nothing to do with Autism, yet do find the value of it to relate and educate others.

I am a huge fan of yours and greatly appreciate that you mustered your courage, your gifts and have written a book that brings so much value to putting a positive side to work through emotions.

While I appreciate Universal Law and principles, so many of my colleagues are into the mantra of “Let it Go” without experiencing it. I know from my self, from my clients that unless it is worked through, it simply “upchucks”!

Naturally, your writing speaks to me – BIG TIME!!!
I have been studying it like a bible as my background is also sociology and I’m a junkie for this stuff; yet mostly appreciative of the format to check into easily when particular emotions arise.

I consider myself a combo of all my mentors. I know I am a benefit to my clients for this and am thrilled to add my Karla McLaren lessons to them. I’m touting your book to many. Thanks for the GREAT READ!

Of course, some of the kids would just recite endless stories about trains or dinosaurs, but with some sensitive direction, it could be a real eye-opener and an invitation into the world of the spectrum. Drama rocks!
