Dr. Tamara Moodie LLC Launches Three New Autism-Focused Publications to Support Empathy, Awareness, and Inclusivity
Miami, FL, April 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a significant step toward advancing autism awareness and fostering inclusive understanding, Dr. Tamara Moodie LLC announces the publication of three insightful works: Walking In My Shoes, Through My Eyes, I Am Still Like You… Autism Through My Point of View , and Empowering Autism Journal . Authored by Dr. Tamara Moodie, these books serve as valuable resources for families, educators, and communities navigating the diverse realities of autism. They provide thoughtful perspectives and practical tools designed to deepen understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and promote the value of neurodiversity in our communities.
Walking In My Shoes, Through My Eyes & I Am
Still Like You… Autism Through My Point of View
Exploring Autism Through Empathy and Storytelling
The first of the new releases, 'Walking In My Shoes, Through My Eyes,' offers readers a unique opportunity to step into the world of a young child with autism. Told from the perspective of the child, the story is carefully crafted to illustrate the emotional and sensory experiences faced by individuals on the spectrum.
This illustrated paperback bridges the gap between understanding and empathy, creating a dialogue that encourages kindness, patience, and deeper awareness among children and adults alike. The accessible narrative style and vibrant visuals aim to empower readers to view autism not as a challenge, but as a different way of experiencing the world.
'Walking In My Shoes, Through My Eyes' is available now on Amazon. Link to purchase.
A Parent's Perspective: Navigating the Autism Journey
In 'I Am Still Like You… Autism Through My Point of View,' Dr. Moodie addresses the complex emotional journey parents face when navigating an autism diagnosis. This book is grounded in understanding and shared humanity, offering a lens through which readers can explore the nuances of parenting a neurodivergent child.
The narrative delves into themes such as acceptance, discovery, and emotional resilience, steering clear of medical advice and maintaining an objective tone suitable for a general audience. The book contributes to awareness while acknowledging the real-life emotional complexities involved.
Now available in paperback. Link to purchase.
Practical Tools for Caregivers: Empowering Autism Journal
Rounding out the trio is the 'Empowering Autism Journal' —a guided resource for parents, caregivers, and educators. The journal features reflection prompts, daily planning tools, and motivational quotes tailored to support those involved in the daily care of children with autism. Its design provides both structure and emotional support, encouraging users to track milestones, document thoughts, and prioritize self-care.
The journal is now available via Amazon. Link to purchase.
Community Engagement and Upcoming Book Event
Dr. Moodie, founder of South Florida Autism Charter School (SFACS)—the largest school in South Florida exclusively serving students with autism—brings more than 28 years of experience in education and autism advocacy. As an expert in autism, her leadership in hosting over 40 annual community workshops underscores her commitment to creating inclusive educational spaces and promoting public understanding of autism.
In continued support of her mission, Books & Books in Coral Gables, FL, will host an afternoon with Dr. Moodie on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from 5:00 to 6:00 PM.

The event location is 265 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134. The public is encouraged to attend and engage in this timely and meaningful conversation.
A Voice of Understanding: Quote from Dr. Tamara Moodie
'In every child with autism, there is a voice waiting to be heard, a story waiting to be told,' said Dr. Tamara Moodie. 'My hope is that these books help bridge the gap between misunderstanding and empathy, not just for families affected by autism, but for anyone willing to see the world through someone else's eyes.'
All three publications are currently available for purchase online via Amazon. Additional information about Dr. Moodie's educational initiatives and community outreach can be found at https://drmoodie.com.

38 Beauty Products To Make You Jealous Of Yourself

A cult-favorite Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball reviewers compare to the pricey Sol de Janeiro version. 👀☀️ This is from TikTok-famous small business brand Kuumba Made, known for its luxury scents at ridiculously affordable prices, so you know they're on their game — reviewers especially love how ~beachy~ and long-lasting this sweet but elevated fragrance feels and how nicely it plays with other scents! Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. The subtle gardenia scent is just extra extra credit after all that. A tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder absorbs oil and blurs pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy. ✨ Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a beloved K-beauty staple reviewers compare to the $46 Gisou version for MEGA hair hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees, so you can style your hair without sacrificing on ✨shine✨. This unique blend of seven-oil blend Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil not only protects hair, but helps correct damage from dryness, *and* reduces drying time. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution for the *ultimate* in eye-depuffing relief — this serum works over time to brighten dark circles and tired eyes so you can look fresh as a daisy, even on nights when you're Liz Lemon-ing and ~working on your night cheeeeese~ a little later than you planned. And Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. A coconut-scented, ridiculously cooling after-sun body lotion to rehydrate and replenish your skin after long days in the sun or soaking up the drying chlorine of the pool.

Olay Super Serum Body Wash makes anyone with dry summer skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel as ~luminous~ as the sunshine. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) And Olay's Firming Body Lotion full of collagen peptides and a Vitamin B3 complex for *ultra* hydrating relief that's also designed to visibly plump, firm, and moisturize your skin — all at a fraction of the price of other firming lotions, like the internet's beloved $48 Elasti-Cream. Color Wow's "Raise The Root" thickening and lifting spray gives your hair some instant ~~VAVOOM~~, no teasing or heat styling gymnastics required. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are 10 times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! Sally Hansen's iconic Insta-Dri nail polish perfect for anyone who wants quick touch-ups on their fingers and toes but has ZERO time to spare. If you're looking for a reliable, long-lasting, fast-drying polish to save not just time, but big bucks at the salon, I cannot recommend these enough! Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer with SPF 50 (!!) designed to deeply hydrate your skin, help repair its moisture barrier, *and* protect it from UV rays all at once. Reviewers also love that it's truly ~~invisible~~ and acts as a lovely primer for makeup (and is easy to reapply on top of it!). It's also sensitive-skin friendly, with reviewers on tretinoin swearing by it for extra protection. Did someone say ... HOLY GRAIL?? And Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush, aka your scalp's BFF this summer — reviewers don't just swear by this for face coverage and a protective setting powder, but for protecting their hairline without their hair getting goopy from sunscreen scalp sprays or regular sunscreen lotion. Bonus — this is a heck of a lot cheaper than its competitors, like the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block! E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, so you can lock in that ridiculously compelling whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel scent *and* protect your skin from razor burn. Reviewers are notably impressed by how close of a shave they can get with this, particularly in sensitive areas! First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant helps exfoliate and smooth skin by dealing with rough patches or dry bumps — a lot of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin textures swear by this for relief, with many noticing a difference after the very first use. A set of super affordable hydrocolloid nose pore patches (compare to the $16 Mighty Patch equivalent) that will make you go "boy HOWDY" when you see how much gunk collects on them overnight. Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance! Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse gives your brows all the professional-level ~~vavoom~~ they deserve. This easy-to-use, buildable brow applicator lightly fluffs and tames brows to give them a fuller, softer appearance, giving them that laminated look without the expensive treatment. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Boldify Hairline Powder for anyone who's like, "Hmmm. Wasn't there ... a lot more hair there before??" when they're styling their roots. This "makeup for hair" helps effortlessly fill in the gaps in your hairline so you don't have style around it. Reviewers also swear by this for touching up their roots between appointments! Essence Loose Setting Powder Trio for three handy products for less than $5 — it's sectioned into different powders for brightening, color-correcting, and mattifying, so you can mix and match the shades to personalize your coverage based on your skin's needs. Dae's Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream & Taming Wand, which is basically the brand's "holy grail," TikTok-famous styling cream in the form of a mascara wand. This versatile lil' tool helps you carefully target flyaways, style edges, and smooth frizz. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for anyone who has had their fill of acne stickers and wants a more effective solution for overnight zit care. Just dab a constellation of this over your blemishes to help dry them out and reduce redness while you snooze. This gets extra points for being sensitive skin-friendly and easy to use! A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. A reviewer-beloved (and makeup artist–beloved!) beauty sponge blender that rolled up and ate up all the expensive name-brand versions for breakfast. This is firm and smooth when you use it dry for powder applications, and soft and flexible when you wet it for creams and liquids, making it the ultimate versatile sponge in your beauty trove ... for a mere $4 (!!) compared to the $20 BeautyBlender version. A shockingly affordable "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a punch as powerful as the $30+ versions — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.)

'Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love' offers fresh perspective on disability, reimagines genetic impairments as a sacred purpose
A spiritual being who joins humanity in times of crisis travels back into her own earthly family lineage GATTON, Australia, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrating three decades as one of the country's most prestigious literary events, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books brought together readers, authors and publishers from around the world. Among the featured titles was El Alma's "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" (published by Balboa Press AU), a poignant novel that resonates deeply with readers seeking solace, reflection and spiritual connection. The book tells the story of Asina, a soul who agrees to enter the world in an impaired body, alongside others in her soul family. Known as gentling souls, they descend to Earth with a mission: to enrich the world with compassion, tenderness and unconditional love amid transformative eras of materialism, violence and war. Through dreams and visions, Asina embodies her great-grandmother Hana as a child in a past life and travels between the eras to tell a family saga that spans the 1800s to the present time. She experiences life through the eyes of her ancestors and witnesses them facing fear and ridicule from society because of their conditions. In the end, Asina comes to realize the higher purpose as to why the impairment exists in her family. "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" challenges societal norms by asserting a spiritual purpose for living with neurogenetic impairments. Rather than presenting disability as a narrative obstacle or medical condition, the book portrays it as an intentional and divine choice — made with love, before birth, to help restore balance and empathy in a harsh world. "I chose not to write research papers but to write from a deeper level so the readers can grasp the enormity of living and loving disabilities," the author shares. "I would like readers to develop a deeper experience of what it is like to encounter disabilities within society with an understanding of how to relate to a person with a disability and to see them from a different perspective than they maybe had previously." "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" was first published in 2023 is now available for purchase through "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" By El Alma Softcover | 6 x 9in | 132 pages | ISBN 9781982298340 E-Book | 132 pages | ISBN 9781982298357 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble About the Author El Alma holds a bachelor's degree in psychological science and a master's in counselling (disabilities). With over 30 years of experience working with families navigating grief, trauma and life after a disability diagnosis, she brings compassionate insight and spiritual depth to her writing. Her previous work, "Becoming Soul – Seven Steps to Heaven," is a multi-award-winning parable. Now semi-retired, El Alma offers spiritual guidance and lives peacefully in country Australia with her husband of 56 years.
