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.

  • Autistics Speak
    Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org OPINION Autistics speak BY VIRGINIA HUGHES 1 NOVEMBER 2011 A year ago, an Australian group launched an autism awareness and fundraising event called Communication Shutdown. The idea was simple: Neurotypical people would ignore social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter for the entire day, to simulate and show support for people with autism who have trouble communicating. Celebrities such as astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actress Fran Drescher, and animal scientist and autism advocate Temple Grandin were all on board. But Corina Lynn Becker, an adult with autism who has a blog, wasn't at all happy about it. "A non-Autistic person still [has] the capability to text on their phones, and speak verbally, and so would not be totally comprehending the true reality of Autistic disability," she wrote. "Twitter and Facebook are two of the sites that actually allow Autistics to communicate and connect with others in the community, so I will not be disappearing from the Internet, as it is my lifeline." Becker teamed up with Kathryn Bjornstad, another blogger and adult with autism, to create an alternative event: Autistics Speaking Day, which encourages people to exploit the power of social networks to raise awareness and reject negative stereotypes about the disorder. Last year, the day was far larger than Becker ever envisioned, with more than 500 participants from across the world speaking out about autism — including many people with the disorder who were inspired to launch blogs simply because of the event. Today marks the second annual Autistics Speaking Day, which I think should be broadcast not only to the general public, but to autism researchers.

ABSTRACT This is a case study of the role of feeling and will in interaction with children with autism. It investigates the use of changing colours of light for enhancement of engagement at this level. The research was carried out in a specially designed room where the whole interior colour could be changed using dimmer-controlled lights. 19 children aged between 8 and 17 years with a diagnosis of severe autism were involved in the study. Data were collected using video recordings, a research diary and small-scale informal interviews and were analysed by quantitative and qualitative methods. Three main stages were developed. These involved observations of behaviour of children in different colours of light, of children interacting directly with changing coloured light, and of intensive interaction augmented by changing colour moods.
