Papers written regarding: THIS PARADIGM SHIFT OF UNDERSTANDING
Following is a list of the papers I have written. My first paper was composed in 2009 and the last of these in 2019, all now updated in 2018 and 2019. I believe it might be helpful for all to read the first two documents here sharing why and when I have written these documents. Additionally, please see my Bio for added background regarding my work. Then, depending on your interest and your background, you might want to begin with a couple of the shorter texts, and if caught up in this paradigm shift of understanding that I describe, then move on to the much longer and more detailed documents.
I would hope that parents, teachers, therapists, and physicians can all make their way to the research, explanations, and life stories in the longer documents. In place of, or in addition to, the Heart Centered Minds paper, you can watch the hour-long video presentation listed on the website for an in-depth jump into a great deal of the same information.
The short papers (except for Reasons Behind and Timings for My Papers and Spectrum Differences as Part of Our Current World in Transition), are listed chronologically, and the two longest documents are at the bottom, along with a 4-page compressed listing of spectrum characteristics. I think all might find Educating All From the Inside Out and Bullied Individuals as School Shooters (Sandy Hook, Parkland…) quite relevant regarding education in our schools.
