  • Facilitating Affective Engagement
    ENGAGING THE FEELING AND WILL OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF COLOUR by DIANA MARY PAULI A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Education The University of Birmingham March 2004 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

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.

    Novel Ideas: Disabled Authors and Books normalising Disability Compiled by KEEN UK (Plain Text Version) This list is by no means exhaustive, but a place to start when looking for writers with disabilities or additional needs, or looking for books that normalise disability in their characters. For younger readers: ● Jon Blake - a writer who has written a huge number of books, mainly for children ○ The Thimble series, which currently has three books, features main ​ ​ character Jams who has cerebral palsy and uses a walker. The character is loosely based on Blake’s son Jordi ○ Ethan the Great also features a main character with cerebral palsy ​ ● Rose Robbins - books based on Robbins’ own experience of having a sibling with autism. However, neither of the books directly name the autism, allowing children to identify with the story in their own way ○ Me and My Sister - written from the perspective of a brother with an autistic ​ sister. They have a normal sibling relationship and enjoy lots together ○ Talking is not my Thing - written from the perspective of a non-verbal autistic ​ girl. She explains to the reader that she can’t speak, but we see her thoughts, which shows us that she is just like any other little girl. Her family does normal things and she has a great relationship with them ● The ‘Bookmark’ section of the BookTrust website has a list of children’s books that have positive images of disability, as well as a blog and the Bookmark book of the month: https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/bookmark-disability-and-books

  • Bridging the Empathy Gap Between Neurotypical Designers and Autistic Adults
    paper 09 Design and wellbeing: Bridging the empathy gap between neurotypical designers and autistic adults Katie Gaudion, Ashley Hall Jeremy Myerson, Liz Pellicano author: Katie Gaudion Jeremy Myerson The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, The The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, The Royal Royal College of Art, London College of Art, London Ashley Hall Liz Pellican Innovation Design Engineering, The Royal The Centre for Research in Autism and College of Art, London Education (CRAE), Institute of Education, London Design and wellbeing: Bridging the empathy gap between neurotypical designers and autistic adults Abstract: This paper is focused on the wellbeing of people with autism spectrum disorders, who are often excluded from design research. Drawing upon on-going design research collaboration between The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design and the autism charity The Kingwood Trust, this paper reflects upon a neurotypical (i.e. not on the autism spectrum) designer’s experience of working with adults with autism who have limited verbal speech and additional learning disabilities. The hypothesis under investigation is that, by interacting with and observing a person in conjunction with his or her physical environment, the designer can unravel clues and insights to develop empathy and better understanding of a person with autism’s everyday experiences, which can thereby inform empathic designs that enhance and sustain a state of wellbeing. The conclusion explores how the inclusion of autistic people within the design process creates a shared experience, which helps to develop trust and empathy between the designer and the person with autism, enabling the designer to understand and appreciate different ways of being in the world.
