    Pausing Encounters with Autism and Its Unruly Representation: An inquiry into method, culture and academia in the making of disability and difference in Canada A dissertation submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science. TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Copyright by John Edward Marris 2013 Canadian Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program January 2014 ABSTRACT Pausing Encounters with Autism and Its Unruly Representation: An inquiry into method, culture and academia in the making of disability and difference in Canada John Edward Marris This dissertation seeks to explore and understand how autism, asperger and the autistic spectrum is represented in Canadian culture. Acknowledging the role of films, television, literature and print media in the construction of autism in the consciousness of the Canadian public, this project seeks to critique representations of autism on the grounds that these representations have an ethical responsibility to autistic individuals and those who share their lives. This project raises questions about how autism is constructed in formal and popular texts; explores retrospective diagnosis and labelling in biography and fiction; questions the use of autism and Asperger’s as metaphor for contemporary technology culture; examines autistic characterization in fiction; and argues that representations of autism need to be hospitable to autistic culture and difference. In carrying out this critique this project proposes and enacts a new interdisciplinary methodology for academic disability study that brings the academic researcher in contact with the perspectives of non-academic audiences working in the same subject area, and practices this approach through an unconventional focus group collaboration.

  • Temple Grandin Professeure De Zootechnie Et De Sciences Animales
    TEMPLE GRANDIN PROFESSEURE DE ZOOTECHNIE ET DE SCIENCES ANIMALES Mary Temple Grandin, dite Temple Grandin, née le 29 août 1947 à Boston, est une femme autiste, professeure de zootechnie et de sciences animales à l'université d'État du Colorado, docteure et spécialiste de renommée internationale dans cette même discipline. Elle monte en 1980 une entreprise d’ingénierie et de conseils sur les conditions d'élevage des animaux de rente, qui fait d’elle une experte en conception d'équipements pour le bétail. En 2012, près de la moitié des abattoirs à bovins d'Amérique du Nord sont équipés du matériel qu'elle a conçu ; depuis les années 1980 jusqu'en 2016, elle a collaboré à environ 200 articles de recherche. Temple Grandin a été diagnostiquée avec des « dommages cérébraux » à l'âge de deux ans, et n'a pas parlé avant l'âge de trois ans et demi. Une intervention précoce lui a permis de progresser, de suivre sa scolarité jusqu'en doctorat, puis de vivre de son métier. Elle est également connue pour être la première personne autiste à avoir témoigné de son expérience de vie dans des autobiographies, Ma vie d'autiste en 1986 et Penser en images en 1995. Elle fait régulièrement appel à des techniques de scanographie, qui ont révélé le fonctionnement et la structure particulière de son cerveau spécialisé dans la pensée visuelle, une recherche publiée dans l'ouvrage Dans le cerveau des autistes, en 2013. Elle s’implique pour la défense du bien-être animal, plaidant pour une meilleure prise en compte de la souffrance animale pendant l'élevage et l'abattage, s’opposant en particulier à l'élevage en batterie.

  • Autism, Humanity and Personhood: a Theological
    AUTISM , HUMANITY AND PERSONHOOD : A THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE Jennifer Anne Cox BSc; GradDipEd; BTh; BTheol (hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 1 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ………………………………………………….. Jennifer Anne Cox 2 Abstract Theological anthropology is charged with providing an understanding of the human. But theological anthropology can exclude people who are cognitively impaired because it has historically upheld reason as the image of God. Recent theology of intellectual disability has bypassed this difficulty by emphasising relationality as the image of God. This approach, however, has the unfortunate consequence that it excludes people with severe low- functioning autism, who do not relate to others as persons but as objects. This thesis aims to articulate a theological anthropology which is inclusive of people with severe autism. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder, the main characteristic of which is difficulty in social interaction. An examination of the Genesis creation story reveals both that God is relational and that human beings were created to live in relationship with God and other humans. This raises the theological question of how we may understand people with severe autism as human persons. Through an investigation of the significance of the incarnation I argue that the best basis for an inclusive anthropology, not dependent on any characteristic or ability, is the vicarious humanity of Christ. This is because Jesus Christ is the only human being who is without sin and the only true image of God.

Als er achtzehn Monate alt war, entwickelte er plötzlich epileptische Anfälle und wurde in ein Krankenhaus eingewiesen. Sein Gitterbett hatte gepolsterte Stäbe, war nach oben hin ver­ schlossen, ein Käfig. Über eine Klammer an seinem großen Zeh führte ein Kabel zu einem Monitor, 126/96 war darauf in roten Digitalziffern zu lesen. Unser vorher fröhliches, starkes und neu­ gieriges Kind lag schwach in diesem Käfigbett, tief erschöpft von Medikamenten, Untersuchungen und Krampfanfällen.

Rupert Isaacson updates the story of The Horse Boy t’s December 2009 and Rowan is just about to turn eight Iyears old. In a rare Texas cold snap the temperature has plum- meted to freezing and the horses outside the window are hud- dled together in their blankets waiting for me to give them hay. In an hour I’ll collect Rowan from the New Trails Center, which has been up and running for about a year and a half now. Rowan does his academics there in the mornings, and in the afternoons the other families and children come in — some on the autism spectrum, some not — and ride, play together, do their therapies out in nature. We have three great therapy horses, Clue, Hope, and El Capitan. Money from this book goes to fund the program. Sadly, this being Texas, neither the gov- ernment nor insurance companies can subsidize us. With luck, that will change in the coming years, but for now we are still lagging behind. Much more happily, however, the dysfunctions that left Rowan during his time in Mongolia are, amazingly, a mem- ory. The incontinence, the tantrums, the isolation from his peers — these have never come back. And as per Ghoste’s instructions, we have continued to make a healing journey each summer.
