1 Anthropologizing Experiences of Autism 3 Recharting Territories Notes 1 Anthropologizing Experiences of Autism 1. In Latour’s work actants can include human and non-human actors such as organizations, objects, and ideas. 3 Recharting Territories, Redefining Roles: The Issue of Relationships 1. I’d like to note here that these moments do not necessarily occur in this order. In fact, often parents experience #3 well before #1 or #2, or perhaps have several #1 experiences before arriving at a final autism diagnosis. The order in which these moments are presented is purely a stylist choice on the part of the author and does not indicate in any way a purported trajec- tory of experience. 2. For a more extensive description of autism diagnostic tools and procedures see Rossi’s 2011 dissertation. 4 Peculiarities and Particularities: The Issue of Bodies 1. Jenny McCarthy is an American actress, game show host, and model. She is also a parent activist who claims that vaccines caused her son’s autism. Through her activism, she has spoken loudly against the vaccine schedule and has also claimed that chelation treatment helped to cure her son’s autism. 170 Notes 5 Navigations and Limitations: The Issue of Institutions 1. http://schools.nyc.gov/AboutUs/data/stats/default.htm 2. http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/managed_care/reports/enrollment/ monthly/ 3. For some children who require at-home care or care provided by another institution (mental health facility, hospital, etc.), related services may be provided in those locations.

    A STUDY GUIDE BY MArguerite o ’hARA http://www.metromagazine.com.au http://www.theeducationshop.com.au Introduction > Mary and Max is an animated feature film from the creators of the Academy Award-winning short animation Harvie Krumpet (Adam Elliot, 2003). This is Adam Elliot’s first full-length feature film. LikeHarvie , it is an animated film with claymation characters. However, unlike many animated feature films, it is minimal in its use of colour and the action does not revolve around kooky creatures with human voices and super skills. Mary and Max is about the lives of two people who become pen pals, from opposite sides of the world. Like Harvie Krumpet, Mary and Max is innocent but not naive, as it takes us on a journey that explores friendship and autism as well as taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sexual difference, trust, copulating dogs, religious difference, agoraphobia and much more.

  • Pausing Encounters with Autism and Its Unruly Representation: an Inquiry Into Method, Culture and Academia in the Making of Disability and Difference in Canada
    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.

  • Autism and Aspergers in Popular Australian Cinema Post-2000 | Ellis | Disability Studies Quarterly
    Autism and Aspergers in Popular Australian Cinema Post-2000 | Ellis | Disability Studies Quarterly Autism & Aspergers In Popular Australian Cinema Post 2000 Reviewed By Katie Ellis, Murdoch University, E-Mail: [email protected] Australian Cinema is known for its tendency to feature bizarre and extraordinary characters that exist on the margins of mainstream society (O'Regan 1996, 261). While several theorists have noted the prevalence of disability within this national cinema (Ellis 2008; Duncan, Goggin & Newell 2005; Ferrier 2001), an investigation of characters that have autism is largely absent. Although characters may have displayed autistic tendencies or perpetuated misinformed media representations of this condition, it was unusual for Australian films to outright label a character as having autism until recent years. Somersault, The Black Balloon, and Mary & Max are three recent Australian films that explicitly introduce characters with autism or Asperger syndrome. Of the three, the last two depict autism with sensitivity, neither exploiting it for the purposes of the main character's development nor turning it into a spectacle of compensatory super ability. The Black Balloon, in particular, demonstrates the importance of the intentions of the filmmaker in including disability among notions of a diverse Australian community. Somersault. Red Carpet Productions. Directed By Cate Shortland 2004 Australia Using minor characters with disabilities to provide the audience with more insight into the main characters is a common narrative tool in Australian cinema (Ellis 2008, 57). Film is a visual medium that adopts visual methods of storytelling, and impairment has become a part of film language, as another variable of meaning within the shot.

  • 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.
