Severine learning English - and lots of links about autistic being and autistic power
I think I've got it!
And here is another link.
What should you and could you do when your children/students love to do the power play on you?
Mi Casa es mi Castillo: Nancy Spoolstra on the Attachment Disorders blog.
And tho' I'm not so religious now:
I stand by what I thought then.
God doesn't make us dumb animals.
There is seldom a moment in every day when we are NOT using some form of communication.
There are lots of situations in which not communicating is natural. It took me most of my teenage and young adult years to sort through those. I am by nature a communicating creature, and the more of this which is open, honest and transparent, the better.
Let's say I'm not a nativist but I was when I was younger and less experienced. This position is a bit hypocritical because my language development contradicts many nativist principles.
This really puts me into a tricky, icky situation.
I do mean ALL neurodiversity as well. And I don't even think in very many pictures. The last time I had a pictorial thought was last night and I wanted to draw it. It was of a red-haired girl with angel kind of hair and a pink fluffy dress. The face was photorealistic and then it faded as most such of my pictures do.
What happens sometimes when people with Autism Spectrum Conditions tell their stories. Think about it!
Actually it's embedded in the culture. For the 20 years people have been telling their stories (since Temple Grandin's Emergence Labelled Autistic and David Eastham's Understand) this has been going on. I think it hit a peak with Donna Williams' first book, Nobody Nowhere. This is when I became aware of the phenomenon.
Janna Hoskin's right. The autism rights/pride movement does need more political books.
I think I remember talking with Conuly about drama. This blog post is an extension of that.
And here is Kassiane's latest:
The Rettdevil's Rants: NT Teenagers: Best Argument Against a Cure Yet
Thank you Kassi. The French learning disabilities/autism system will thank you a great deal, and so will several other nations.
Here is something a little further back on Ballastexistenz: It's about emotions and their place.
I can barely take this in. Truly. What does NAAR/Autism Speaks think it is doing in the schools? If this sort of thing can be compared to Nazis and KKK then I want no part of it. What. So. Ever.
Look at The Boy who Could Fly as a good portrayal of 'autism in the movies'. It is my own fave and the one which speaks to me most.
