About the Book:<\/strong>
\nRight now, millions of children are growing up in a world that doesn\u2019t respect, support, or embrace who they inherently are.\u00a0 These are children Debbie refers to as \u201cdifferently wired\u201d\u2014the kids with neurodifferences such as ADHD, giftedness, autism, learning disorders, and anxiety, as well as those with no formal diagnosis, who are being told day in and day out that there is something wrong with them. These kids are stuck trying to fit into a world that wasn\u2019t designed to accommodate their unique way of being. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, their challenges are just as hard. They\u2019re overwhelmed, misunderstood, and isolated, which is ironic considering their kids are in every classroom across the country. Debbie knows this because she is one of these parents.<\/p>\n

But now there\u2019s hope. Sharing Debbie\u2019s eye-opening journey with her son, Asher, who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger\u2019s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired<\/em> is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and the best kind of been-there, done-that companion.\u00a0 On the one hand it\u2019s a book of saying NO, and how it\u2019s time to say no to trying to fit your round-peg kid into society\u2019s square holes, no to educational and social systems that don\u2019t respect your child, no to the anxiety and fear that keep parents stuck. And then it\u2019s a book of YES. By offering 18 paradigm shifts\u2014what she calls \u201ctilts\u201d\u2014 Reber shows how to change everything.<\/p>\n

Before becoming a writer and coach, Debbie worked in TV and video production, producing documentaries and PSAs for CARE and UNICEF, working on Blue\u2019s Clues for Nickelodeon, and developing original series for Cartoon Network. She has an MA in Media Studies from the New School for Social Research and a BA in Communications from Pennsylvania State University. Originally from the U.S., Debbie currently lives with her son and husband in the Netherlands. When she\u2019s not homeschooling Asher, working on TiLT, or writing books, she\u2019s running, traveling, and reading.<\/p>\n
