Book - Born to Fly: Living with Autism

Book - Born to Fly: Living with Autism 

www.borntofly-livingwithautism.com.au 

Book -Born to Fly: Living with Autism tells the personal story of Australian siblings forced to live apart in the 1950’s

In 1958, Mary Ann Napper’s profoundly autistic 12 year old twin brother, Johnny, was sent to live in Queensland with Cath McCarthy, a mothercraft nurse. McCarthy had enjoyed some success working with emotionally withdrawn children but at the time, Autism was unheard of and medical authorities failed to acknowledge her treatment methods.

 

Mary Ann spent her school holidays visiting her brother and saw for herself the benefits of McCarthy’s work. Insightful, kind and intelligent, Cath McCarthy was a woman ahead of her time who devoted her life to working with children and achieved unbelievable results.

 

Many years later, McCarthy gave Napper (who, by then, had forged her own career as a registered nurse in mental health) a copy of her unpublished manuscript, The Life History of an Autistic Child. It documented the case of a child who had been removed from a mental asylum in 1951 and placed in McCarthy’s care.  As a result, Napper was inspired to write her own manuscript to commemorate McCarthy’s lifetime of work.

 

Set in Australia in 1949, Born to Fly (OMNE, $19.99) is a dramatised version of events, incorporating the experiences of both Napper and McCarthy. The story is about Jamie Sullivan, who is diagnosed with Gross Mental Deficiency at the age of three and given little prospect for improvement. Undeterred, his nanny, Helen Ryan works to take Jamie from a state of feral wilderness, to being able to communicate with his family. It is a story of determination, courage and great warmth. Napper’s aim in writing Born to Fly is to inspire people with autism, their families and health authorities to consider all approaches when trying to help someone with autism relate to and interact with the world around them.

 

Born to Fly was released in April to coincide with World Autism Awareness Month (www.autismspeaks.org/). In addition, 25% from all book sales will be donated to Autism Spectrum Australia www.autismspectrum.org.au

Let’s talk about sex baby......but not vaginas

Let’s talk about sex baby......but not vaginas

www.beautyheaven.com.au research shows that what lies beneath, is actually unknown to many Aussie women.

While women regularly talk to girlfriends about the intimate details of everything from sex and relationships to periods and male body parts, new research shows almost half (45%) the female population have NEVER spoken to a friend about their own vagina and one in five (20%) don’t know what it’s meant to look like.

The research, from beauty and health experts beautyheaven.com.au, revealed that 50% of females now worry about whether their own vagina looks normal, with one in seven (14%) considering going to the extreme of vaginal or labial plastic surgery to fit in with what they imagine to be right.

Over half (53%) of women have never seen a vagina in real life (other than their own), with 1 in 5 (22%) having only porn to compare themselves to and 1 in 6 (15%) only seeing another vagina in school science videos. Many are even too embarrassed to say the word vagina and have given it another name so they don’t have to mention it, including vadge, va-ja-ja, lady bits and fou-fou.

Commenting on the research Carli Alman, Editor of beautyheaven, said: “Women don’t know how to broach the subject with friends and feel uncomfortable bringing it up - let alone talking about it. It seems it’s easier for women to talk about men’s anatomy rather than their own.

“Lots of women don’t know what they are meant to look like down below, which could lead to some having unrealistic expectations on what they should look like. And as our research shows, some are even considering invasive surgery.

beautyheaven.com.au has also created an entertaining “t​op 11 things you didn’t know about your vagina”​including everything from how it works to keeping it healthy.

The research was conducted by beautyheaven in November 2014 on a sample of 1004 females across Australia.

www.beautyheaven.com.au​is Australia’s number one social beauty network, featuring the very best and most comprehensive mix of beauty product reviews, news, tips and advice.

beautyheaven has more than 165,000 members who have contributed to make it Australia’s most comprehensive beauty site, featuring a preshop directory of more than 180,000 product reviews.
