  • Who Is Temple Grandin? Once Again, the Kids Were Tossing Insults At
    Who Is Temple Grandin? Once again, the kids were tossing insults at Temple Grandin in the hallway of junior high school. They picked on Temple because she didn’t act like everybody else. She spoke in a loud, flat voice. She repeated sentences over and over, word for word. She clapped her hands over her ears at the sound of the school bell. She acted lost and afraid in the crowded school hall. Kids couldn’t understand what made Temple tick. And Temple couldn’t understand them, either. That was because Temple’s brain worked differently from theirs. She had been born with a developmental disorder known as autism (say: AW--tiz--im). It showed up when she was a baby, making her behave in odd ways. On this day, Temple’s temper boiled over at the bullying. She hurled a book at a kid. Hours later, the principal expelled her from school. Probably no one was too surprised. Temple was flunking nearly all her subjects. They just didn’t interest her. Everyone back in 1961 would have been amazed to know that Temple would grow up to become a world--famous animal scientist. All through her career she has worked to improve the treatment of cows and other animals that are raised for food. Every year, millions and millions of cattle are killed for beef. Until Temple came along, people thought of cattle as products to turn into hamburgers and steaks. But Temple paid attention to the fear and pain cattle felt at large meat plants. As an autistic person, Temple often felt like a scared animal herself.

  • Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons a Thesis
    Disablement, Diversity, Deviation: Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Sarah Gibbons 2016 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation brings disability studies and postcolonial studies into dialogue with discourse surrounding risk in the environmental humanities. The central question that it investigates is how critics can reframe and reinterpret existing threat registers to accept and celebrate disability and embodied difference without passively accepting the social policies that produce disabling conditions. It examines the literary and rhetorical strategies of contemporary cultural works that one, promote a disability politics that aims for greater recognition of how our environmental surroundings affect human health and ability, but also two, put forward a disability politics that objects to devaluing disabled bodies by stigmatizing them as unnatural. Some of the major works under discussion in this dissertation include Marie Clements’s Burning Vision (2003), Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), Gerardine Wurzburg’s Wretches & Jabberers (2010) and Corinne Duyvis’s On the Edge of Gone (2016). The first section of this dissertation focuses on disability, illness, industry, and environmental health to consider how critics can discuss disability and environmental health in conjunction without returning to a medical model in which the term ‘disability’ often designates how closely bodies visibly conform or deviate from definitions of the normal body.

  • Dr. Temple Grandin Dr
    Dr. Temple Grandin Dr. Temple Grandin • She is an American Scientist and industrial designer. • She has created systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations. • Temple Grandin has autism. Autism • autism is: “A spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, and unusual and repetitive behavior.” • The degree of autism varies from mild to severe. Temple Grandin • Temple Grandin was born on August 29, 1947, in Boston, MA. • She is the oldest of four children. • None of her siblings are autistic. • One of the first signs that a baby may be autistic is that it resists being held and cuddled; one of the first signs of autism. Temple Grandin • Since 1990, she has taught animal science at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO, where she also operates her own company, Grandin Livestock Systems. • Today, Temple has published over 300 scientific papers, has her own website which gets 5,000 visitors each month, gives 35 lectures on animal management a year, and gives about another 25 lectures about autism. • Half of the cattle in the United States and Canada are handled in humane slaughter systems she has designed. She feels she owes a lot of this success to the fact that her brain works differently. Autism has given her a perspective on animals that a lot of professionals don’t have. Temple Grandin • Temple tells people that whenever you have a problem with an animal, try to see what the animal is seeing and try to experience what the animal is experiencing. • Thought has to be given to the animals’ emotional lives, not just their physical lives.

  • The Joy of Autism: Part 2
    However, even autistic individuals who are profoundly disabled eventually gain the ability to communicate effectively, and to learn, and to reason about their behaviour and about effective ways to exercise control over their environment, their unique individual aspects of autism that go beyond the physiology of autism and the source of the profound intrinsic disabilities will come to light. These aspects of autism involve how they think, how they feel, how they express their sensory preferences and aesthetic sensibilities, and how they experience the world around them. Those aspects of individuality must be accorded the same degree of respect and the same validity of meaning as they would be in a non autistic individual rather than be written off, as they all too often are, as the meaningless products of a monolithically bad affliction." Based on these extremes -- the disabling factors and atypical individuality, Phil says, they are more so disabling because society devalues the atypical aspects and fails to accommodate the disabling ones. That my friends, is what we are working towards -- a place where the group we seek to "help," we listen to. We do not get offended when we are corrected by the group. We are the parents. We have a duty to listen because one day, our children may be the same people correcting others tomorrow. In closing, about assumptions, I post the article written by Ann MacDonald a few days ago in the Seattle Post Intelligencer: By ANNE MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST Three years ago, a 6-year-old Seattle girl called Ashley, who had severe disabilities, was, at her parents' request, given a medical treatment called "growth attenuation" to prevent her growing.

  • Physical Activities for Children with Autism by Maggie New
    www.autism-mi.org email: [email protected] Autism Society of Michigan 2178 Commons Pky Okemos, MI 48864 517-882-2800 Physical Activities for Children with Autism By Maggie New Every child profits from exercise if it is fun. Every child needs exercise, and children with autism are no exception. In fact, children with ASD, physical exercise can have additional behavioral benefits if certain precautions and techniques are used. All the usual gross motor activities of running, walking, jumping, cycling and others can be engaged in and enjoyed by children with autism. Negative Affects Because children with autism relate to their environment differently than other children, engaging in physical activity in an environment they are not used to can be scary to them. For instance, wide-open spaces might be disorienting, and loud noises -- quite common in a gym -- can startle autistic children. As a result, your autistic child might display behaviors like toe-walking, flapping hands or angry outbursts, among other things, in these environments. Preventing Melt-Downs It is possible to preempt or at least reduce acting-out behaviors by preparing your child in advance. "Palaestra," a journal on physical education for people with disabilities, suggests communicating with your child about what to expect. Be creative and adapt the activities to your child's needs. For instance, since autistic children often have a short attention span, avoid long periods with the same activity. Preparing for transitions ahead of time by letting Spring 2015 2 your child know in advance may prevent tantrums. Also, initially focus on the modality your child prefers, which helps prevent sensory overload.

Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 279 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.
