    1 | [footer text here] 2 | [footer text here] • The reason I wanted to give this talk is because I have come to understand that a lot of what we know for sure about autism, just isn’t so. We have developed services for autistic people which are based on the belief that autism is primarily a psychological problem characterized by deficits in social understanding, restricted behaviors and interests, and cognition. But I have come to believe that autism is better accommodated and supported when it is understood as a neurological condition. [pause] Increasingly, people working in a neurological paradigm are achieving remarkably good outcomes, especially for those who don’t speak or whose speech is unreliable communication, and for those with prominent symptoms of dyspraxia. Dyspraxia is difficulty coordinating movement. 3 | [footer text here] • Ten years ago, we thought that autism was a thing. Find the gene! Maybe it’s vaccines? It’s an epidemic and a crisis! We’ve mostly moved through that, thankfully. But remnants of it sometimes rear its ugly head on occasion. • A diagnosis of autism doesn’t correlate with any specific trait or characteristic. People can be super smart or have significant cognitive challenges. They can be organized or have executive function problems. They can be a competitive surfer or use a wheelchair. They may or may not have seizures. They may have normal, very acute or scrambled senses. They may be blind or deaf. They may be polite and regulated to a fault, or have significant anxiety, behavioral, or mental health problems. • Historically, autism was defined by psychiatrists who were rooted in early 20th Century cultural ideas about intelligence, eugenics, and social hygiene.

  • The Reason I Jump ||Dramaturgy Pack
    The Reason I Jump || Dramaturgy Pack Concept The Reason I Jump is a site-specific immersive performance conceived by Graham Eatough constructed around the autobiography written by Naoki Higashida as well as the lived experiences of its performers. After acquiring the rights to the book, the National Theatre of Scotland commissioned Eatough to conceptualise a production around 2015. Eatough initially imagined a curatorial production in gallery spaces that experientially presented and narrativised different perspectives on autism for the audience, which they would travel through like the chapters of a book. From these early stages he was already keen to represent multiple individual experiences of autism in an immersive journey, and this has remained key to the dramaturgy throughout. That kind of dramaturgical approach was there from the start, as was the desire to work with people who have autism actually in making the project. Rather than it just being Naoki Higashida’s ideas and point of view and experiences that are expressed in the book, we wanted a range of experiences and ideas presented in the show, of which Naoki’s would be one.1 “They identified a group of autistic participants and went through several workshops. The first paired participants with professional artists to develop a theme from the book in line with their own experiences in order to approach a space, a room. From this, and through Eatough’s previous work on site-specific outdoor art collaborations, the dramaturgical journey shifted outside as Andre Dekker came on board and introduced his architectural approach. The move outside was particularly significant in playing into, and playing up, Naoki’s ideas about nature in the book: a massive part of the book is Naoki’s idea that he, and he assumes other autistic people, has this very special connection with nature and with outdoor spaces and with a feeling of connection, and belonging, in a natural environment.

  • Book Review: the Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism by Naoki Higashida
    Book Review: The Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism by Naoki Higashida Constantinos Mantzikos Special education teacher [email protected] Table 1. The book Below is a review of the book “The Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism”, written by Naoki Higashida. The author writes about autism. First of all, the author is an autistic man. He was born 1992 in Kimitsu, Japan and he received his original autism diagnosis in 1998. He has classic autism (Leo Kanner’s autism) and can’t talk effectively with speech. He developed an alternative communication system with an alphabet with his teacher. He wrote this book, because he wanted to show how he functions as an autistic person. Autism is the most known human condition and many scholars have studied this condition. This remarkable book promotes the real image of autism and autistic individuals. He gives us an exceptional chance to enter the mind of another and see the world from a strange and fascinating perspective. In this book there are 58 questions and answers from the author. He answers the most common questions, such as: Why do autistic individuals demonstrate stereotypical behaviors? Why do these people delay giving an answer to a question? Why can’t these people have eye contact? He gives answers in various fields, such as sensory issues and behavioral conditions. Naoki Higashida gives a better understanding of autism and he wants to know if we want to understand autism from the part of autistics, we can teach effectively these students.

A few important things to point out at the start are: • Autism is no-one’s fault. • The causes of autism are not yet known. • It is a life-long condition and as yet there is no known cure. 3 What are Autism Spectrum Disorders? Autism is often the short-hand name given to a wide ‘spectrum’ of disorders, which includes Asperger syndrome and high functioning autism (HFA). Whatever term is used similar approaches are needed. Autism affects around 1 in 100 people in very different ways. Some can live typical and independent lives, form relationships and have children, while others will always need specialist support. All will, however, have some difficulty in the following three areas: • social communication; • social interaction; • social imagination. Difficulty with social communication This includes spoken language and non verbal communication. 80% of the way people communicate with each other is through non verbal means such as gesture, facial expression and body movements. This includes things like pointing, a wave, a smile or frown, turning away, an angry stance and fidgeting.

  • And Quite a Lot of Books After That Date)
    ladybirdflyawayhome.com A complete List of all Ladybird Books published between 1940 and the early 1980s (and quite a lot of books after that date) Why this date? Before 1972 the publisher was known as Wills & Hepworth Ltd and was run by a small board of directors. In 1972 the directors retired and the company was sold to the Pearson Financial Group. The name ‘Wills & Hepworth’ was dropped and much of what had made a ‘classic’ Ladybird book began to change. The content and quality began to decline. In 1999 UK print operations were closed down. This date captures the best of Ladybird – but also allows collectors to complete sets that started in the ‘golden years’. Please let me know if you find anything I’ve missed or spot any errors. NB Any book issued before 1964 will originally have had a dustwapper over its boards. Any book published after 1965 will not have originally had a dustwrapper. The date found on the title page of most Ladybird books is a very unreliable guide as to the age of any particular edition. In general, the title page states date of publication of the title’s first edition and not the date of that particular copy. For the purpose of identification, only the illustrator is usually stated here - rarely the writer - as the illustrator tends to be a more reliable way of identifying two different books or editions with the same title.
