  • The Life and Times Of'asperger's Syndrome': a Bakhtinian Analysis Of
    The life and times of ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’: A Bakhtinian analysis of discourses and identities in sociocultural context Kim Davies Bachelor of Education (Honours 1st Class) (UQ) Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Primary) (QUT) Bachelor of Social Work (UQ) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 The School of Education 1 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the sociocultural history of ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ in a Global North context. I use Bakhtin’s theories (1919-21; 1922-24/1977-78; 1929a; 1929b; 1935; 1936-38; 1961; 1968; 1970; 1973), specifically of language and subjectivity, to analyse several different but interconnected cultural artefacts that relate to ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ and exemplify its discursive construction at significant points in its history, dealt with chronologically. These sociocultural artefacts are various but include the transcript of a diagnostic interview which resulted in the diagnosis of a young boy with ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’; discussion board posts to an Asperger’s Syndrome community website; the carnivalistic treatment of ‘neurotypicality’ at the parodic website The Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical as well as media statements from the American Psychiatric Association in 2013 announcing the removal of Asperger’s Syndrome from the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5 (APA, 2013). One advantage of a Bakhtinian framework is that it ties the personal and the sociocultural together, as inextricable and necessarily co-constitutive. In this way, the various cultural artefacts are examined to shed light on ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ at both personal and sociocultural levels, simultaneously.

Due to the length of most features, we begin promptly at noon! All films screened in Daniel Hale Williams Auditorium, McGaw Pavilion. Lunch provided for attendees. September 14 – Reel Injun by Neil Diamond (Cree) http://www.reelinjunthemovie.com/site/ Reel Injun is an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through a century of cinema. Travelling through the heartland of America and into the Canadian North, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond looks at how the myth of “the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding – and misunderstanding – of Natives. With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and candid interviews with celebrated Native and non-Native directors, writers, actors, and activists including Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson, Graham Greene, Adam Beach, and Zacharias Kunuk, Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people from the silent film era to present day. October 19 – Becoming Chaz by Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato http://www.chazbono.net/becomingchaz.html Growing up with famous parents, constantly in the public eye would be hard for anyone. Now imagine that all those images people have seen of you are lies about how you actually felt. Chaz Bono grew up as Sonny and Cher’s adorable golden-haired daughter and felt trapped in a female shell. Becoming Chaz is a bracingly intimate portrait of a person in transition and the relationships that must evolve with him.

  • Autistic Adult and Non-Autistic Parent Advocates: Bridging the Divide
    AUTHORS' VERSION Rottier, H. & Gernsbacher, M. A. (2020). Autistic adult and non-autistic parent advocates: Bridging the divide. In. A. C. Carey, J. M., Ostrove, & T. Fannon (Eds.) Disability alliances and allies (Research in social science and disability, Vol. 12, pp. 155-166). Emerald Publishing Limited. https://doi.org/10.1108/S1479-354720200000012011 Chapter 7 AUTISTIC ADULT AND NON-AUTISTIC PARENT ADVOCATES: BRIDGING THE DIVIDE Helen Rottier and Morton Ann Gernsbacher ABSTRACT Purpose: Due to the developmental nature of autism, which is often diagnosed in preschool or elementary school-aged children, non-autistic parents of autistic children typically play a prominent role in autism advocacy. How- ever, as autistic children become adults and adult diagnoses of autism continue to rise, autistic adults have played a more prominent role in advo- cacy. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the histories of adult and non-autistic parent advocacy in the United States and to examine the points of divergence and convergence. Approach: Because of their different perspectives and experiences, advocacy by autistic adults and non-autistic parents can have distinctive goals and conflicting priorities. Therefore, the approach we take in the current chapter is a collaboration between an autistic adult and a non-autistic parent, both of whom are research scholars. Findings: The authors explore the divergence of goals and discourse between autistic self-advocates and non-autistic parent advocates and offer three principles for building future

Parents of autistic children are more oft en than not familiar with the results Autism is currently one of the most pressing issues in of developmental evaluations noting a lack of eye contact, and healthcare. Scholarship on the topic is commonly found many autistic children are sent squirming with the words “look among psychologists, educators, and, to some extent, me in the eye…” Autistic adults, too, oft en note that they tire of 1 philosophers. Surprisingly little scholarship, however, being reminded to make eye contact. has focused on the ethical issues relevant to autism. Bioethicists ought to give autism consideration, though John Elder Robison (2007) wrote a well-known memoir on the this may prove to be more diffi cult than it seems at fi rst experience of growing up autistic. Robison remembers people glance. The neurodiversity movement is likely to be noting his lack of eye contact with such comments as “You look credited with starting discussions on autism and related like a criminal,” or “nobody trusts a man who won’t look them in issues of justice and ethics, but perhaps this movement the eye.” (pp. 2) Robison also notes that: has set its sights short.

Lucido M.A., University of Detroit Mercy, 2003 B.A., University of Detroit Mercy, 2001 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Psychology Walden University May 2012 Abstract Autism spectrum condition (ASC) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts physiological processes, cognition, functional behaviors, social-communication, and often has comorbidities. One approach gaining empirical support for ASC treatment is neurofeedback. Neurofeedback uses operant conditioning to normalize cerebral activity through auditory and visual reinforcement. Live Z-score Training (LZT) has become the latest advancement in neurofeedback. There is no published research to date on LZT neurofeedback in adulthood ASC. The purpose of this study was to evaluate LZT’s impact on neuropsychological measures in an adult with ASC. A multiple baseline single-case research design was used with a convenience sample of one adult with ASC to evaluate the effects of 20 LZT sessions using the Conservative Dual Criterion visual inspection method as the primary form analysis. ADHD, mood stability, anxiety, depression, and ASC symptoms were significantly reduced according to the Neuropsych Questionnaire.

  • AN ANALYSIS of AUTISM THROUGH MEDIA REPRESENTATION a Lexandria Prochnow
    AN ANALYSIS OF AUTISM THROUGH MEDIA REPRESENTATION A lexandria Prochnow EDITOR’S NOTE: The Next Generation series is designed to give student voices an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing conversation within the field of General Semantics and in the pages of ETC. High-school students, college undergraduates, and students in graduate programs are encouraged to submit their work. edia representation practically never accurately portrays social groups M as they actually are in reality. These social groups can be specific to certain races, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, occupations, or even medical issues; although some groups are easier and simpler to represent more truth­ fully, many prove difficult to depict without worrying about political cor­ rectness and overall accuracy. Autism, although technically a psychiatric diagnosis, forms a community of diverse people with a myriad of distinct lives and characteristics. Autistic people are a unique social group; there are some who are diagnosed that lead nearly typical lives with few challenges and others who are severely impacted and experience vast challenges. With so many different types of autism diagnoses and huge numbers of people living with autism, it would be impossible to perfectly depict each aspect of autism through television and film characters. Although not every autism characteristic or every autistic person’s story can be shown through media representation, it is media’s responsibility to at least attempt to make their portrayals as accurate as possible. Television and film are limited in what Alexandria Prochnow is a student at Fordham University in New York. Her faculty advisor on this honors thesis paper was Professor Lance Strate, a member of the IGS Board of Trustees and noted scholar in the fields of General Semantics and Media Ecology.
