"Autism Spectrum Disorder is a lifelong disorder. Autism represents a difference in the style of thinking and information processing from that typically experienced. As thinking and information processing is intimately linked with behavior the symptoms, or behavioral expression, of autism change as people move from childhood into adulthood. This book explores the challenges for the minority group of people with autism as they live amongst the numerically dominant population of typical thinkers in a society largely structured around typical thinking. Anxiety is commonly experienced but not labeled by people with autism. Consequently self-monitoring does not occur and anxiety pushes the person into over regulated patterns of behavior at the very time flexibility is required. The experiences of tertiary study, work, negotiating intimate relationships, staying healthy, leisure and aging are discussed outlaying common challenges and strategies of support"--

Recent studies on radon and its progenies have garnered significant attention due to their potential link to cancer, their role in monitoring radiation levels at nuclear facilities, and their possible connection to seismic events. This book features 19 chapters contributed by researchers from various countries, including Brazil, Spain, Norway, and several regions of India, particularly the seismic zone-V, the second highest seismic zone globally. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars in post-graduate studies across applied sciences such as geophysics, Earth science, geochemistry, and civil engineering. The content presents recent trends in research related to the detection, exposure, and control of Radon (Rn222, Rn220) in an engaging manner. Chapters focus on radon measurement and radioactivity studies in rocks, soil, and open environments, as well as indoor radon concentrations in schools and workplaces, assessing associated health risks. Additionally, the book explores the influence of regional and geophysical characteristics on radon activity and includes discussions on radon-based biometric identification. It also features review articles on fault traces in Taiwan, the role of radon as an earthquake precursor, and the psychological aspects of radon risk and remediation.

Understanding Discourse Analysis first intends to analyze a selected group of US presidential speeches building from the articulation between the study of decision-making psychological traps, understood from a discursive perspective, and the meta-theoretical principles of the pragma-dialectic approach to argumentation theory.Continuing, the authors analyse extracts from Ghana's education policy reform documents to exemplify the efficacy of critical discourse analysis as an interdisciplinary analytic tool and/or method for analysing written texts in critical policy research.The work of Marie-Anne Paveau, who has further developed the ideas of Michel Pêcheux, is addressed. Her notion of prediscourse is applied to show how it can productively contribute to our understanding of the creation and perpetuation of ideas.The diverse ways the connectives "wa" in Arabic and "and" in English get translated between the two languages are assessed, with focus on the discrepancies between the discourse functions of these two particles in both languages.The existing current of discursive analysis assumes that reality is involved in hegemonic and ideological processes, allowing for the analysis of cultural imbrications and dynamic processes between structure and human agency in the construction of reality. As such, the possibility of using critical discourse analysis in consumer studies is addressed.
