{"product_id":"the-expedition-reframe-stephen-peridore-9798186908586","title":"The Expedition Reframe: From Deficit to Discovery in the Sonoran Desert","description":"This transformative book follows the journey of Kendall, a fifteen-year-old autistic boy, and his service dog, Ben, as they trade the safety of their Las Vegas home for a scientific expedition into the Sonoran Desert. Moving beyond the traditional 'deficit model' of autism-which views neurodivergence as a series of behaviors to be fixed-the book introduces the 'Field Study Reframe.' This practical framework empowers parents and therapists to view autistic traits, such as hyper-focus and sensory sensitivity, as the precision instruments of a researcher. Through the lens of desert biology and systemic pattern recognition, the narrative provides actionable tools like the Protocol Binder and the Baseline Reset Ritual to help neurodivergent individuals navigate high-sensory environments with confidence. By treating the unknown as a research question rather than a threat, the book illustrates how the natural world's consistent rules provide a unique sanctuary for the autistic mind. It is a call to move from protection to trust, shifting the therapeutic goal from behavioral compliance to intellectual contribution. Ultimately, the manuscript serves as both a heartwarming story of a family's growth and a rigorous manual for fostering neurodivergent excellence in a world not built for it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Peridore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798186908586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Stephen Peridore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174361637119,"sku":"9798186908586","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-expedition-reframe-stephen-peridore-9798186908586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
