I would also like to thank my supervisor Eva Hjörne at the Department of Education and Special Education at the University of Gothenburg for her inspiring approach and valuable comments. Gothenburg, May 19, 2015. Abstract. Background: Perspectives of Internet use among students with ASD are not a clearly investigated field although positive results in mainstream schools are already received. Multiple pieces of research have shown that computer technology facilitates a broader range of educational activities to meet a variety of needs for students with mild learning disorders, and adaptive technology can enable students with severe disabilities to become active learners in the classroom alongside their peers who do not have disabilities. The aim of this study is to understand and describe representation and perception of online communication by persons with ASD via their postings in blogs and online survey. The role of Internet, the importance of ICT in education and the relation between online and offline communication are in the focus of the study. Although the use of technologies in education and everyday routines is not wide-spread due to high costs and teachers’ lack of training in applying modern technologies in the classroom, the results of this study reveal the importance of applying ICT in everyday life for people with autism. -

Communication Shutdown’ Launched to Engage Social Media Users to Shut Their Networks for a Day on Nov 1 2010, in Support of a Good Cause
4.5 Billion Social Media Users worldwide & over 33 million social media users in India to support the cause of Autism ‘Communication Shutdown’ launched to engage social media users to shut their networks for a day on Nov 1 2010, in support of a good cause New Delhi, October 4, 2010‐ One day without Social Networking‐ Can you brave it? On Nov 1, 2010, citizens around the world will become part of, ‘Communication Shutdown’, a global initiative extended across 40 countries to create awareness and raise funds for charity for Autism. Through this initiative, people around the world have been challenged to go without Facebook or Twitter, for one day. Social communication is one of the biggest challenges for people with autism. By choosing to shutdown their social networks for one day, users will have some idea of what it’s like for people with autism who face this challenge every day. The Communication Shutdown campaign encourages Facebook and Twitter users to make a donation and receive a charity app or (CHAPP) that will signal their support and intention to boycott their social networking accounts on 1 November. ComScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), has released a August 2010 report on traffic to Social Networking sites in India, revealing that India has over 33 million social network users and globally more than two thirds of the world’s population stay connected through networks like Facebook and Twitter. As people become more reliant on these channels to communicate worldwide, the Communication Shutdown fundraising campaign will also serve as a social experiment on social media habits. -

Jets Weren't Bad, but for the Biggest Game in Franchise History, They Needed to Be Great
Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/jets-werent-bad-but-for-the-biggest-game-in- franchise-history-they-needed-to-be-great-482074813.html Jets weren't bad, but for the biggest game in franchise history, they needed to be great By: Paul Wiecek The fans remaining stood stunned at the Jets 4-0 loss against the Nashville Predators after the 3rd period Monday night. We’ve got the loudest fans, we tell ourselves. We’ve got the most passionate fans, we tell ourselves. We’ve got the most patient and deserving fans, we tell ourselves. And maybe we do. But someone forgot to tell the Nashville Predators. And in the biggest game in franchise history on Monday night, the Winnipeg Jets simply didn’t. A 4-0 Predators victory in Game 6 at Bell MTS Place — the Jets second straight loss at home this series — let Nashville off the ropes and sent the series to a seventh and deciding game in Nashville Thursday night. It says something about where these two franchises are in their development curves that Nashville brought their very best game to their very biggest game, while the Jets didn’t. Down 3-2 in this series and facing elimination Monday night, the Predators — from netminder Pekka Rinne out — were superb in Game 6, looking every bit like what they are: a seasoned and experienced team that had been in plenty of games just like this one during a run to the Stanley Cup final last season. And the Jets? They also looked every bit like what they are: a young and inexperienced team that had never played in a game with this kind of magnitude. -
