Loud Hands Autistic People Speaking by Julia Bascom Julia Bascom Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Loud Hands Autistic People Speaking by Julia Bascom Julia Bascom. Julia Bascom is an autistic writer and activist. She is the deputy executive director at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, [1] has served on the New Hampshire DD council, and is the founder of the Loud Hands Project. [2] Contents. Writing. "My blog is called Just Stimming for two reasons: because all I'm doing is lining up words, just stimming . It's hard work. It's important to me. It's significant. But I also remember being 15 and scared and looking at people saying some very big and terrifying things about me, and then going online and finding other people like me, who were writing for themselves. And I don't think they meant it to, but their writing changed my life. Their writing told me I could have a life. And if I can let someone else have that, I think that can only be good." [3] Bascom maintains a blog called Just Stimming. where she posts about autism, disability, the autistic community, and human rights. She covers both the joys and struggles of living as an autistic woman, and writes essays discussing how autistic people are treated in the world. "When I was a little girl, I was autistic. And when you’re autistic, it’s not abuse. It’s therapy." [4] Her piece "Quiet Hands" explains the trauma and abuse in the ABA therapy she received as a child. It has received much attention from the community for its beautiful writing and depiction of the abuse that many autistic people underwent or are still undergoing in therapy. Bascom also writes for The Mighty. [5] Anthologies. Bascom is the organizer of The Loud Hands Project, an anthology of essays from autistic writers that has expanded into a website. [6] It is meant primarily for the autistic community. "We are preserving, organizing, and showcasing our voices, our resilience, and our heritage," Bascom explains in an interview. [3] In 2013 Bascom released another anthology, entitled And Straight on Till Morning: Essays on Autism Acceptance . These essays focus on autism awareness and its cost, and working on the shift towards acceptance. [7] Views. Bascom believes in neurodiversity and is an advocate for autism rights. She is especially interested in bridging the gap between theory and praxis. She is strongly against normalization therapy, arguing that it is better to grow up looking autistic than to grow up being abused. The grabbers don’t believe that we can be happy or find meaning unless we are exactly like them —and that’s really the goal, being just like everyone else , and so there is not even a second of hesitation in their eyes when they slap our hands down onto the table with a shriek of “ quiet hands ”. [8] Bascom does not believe in an autism cure. "In the end, there are really two things I want when I say I wish I wasn’t autistic or I want a cure. I want to not feel like a freak, and I want to feel safe. Those are hard, scary things to feel and to admit. And, because I’m being honest, I have to ask something even scarier. What if being cured didn’t fix those things? Because ultimately, if I took a cure, I’d be surrendering. Instead of fighting for my right to be treated and valued as a human being regardless of disability, I’d be letting go, giving in, and letting myself be changed into someone easier, someone acceptable, someone convenient." [9] Personal Life. Bascom enjoys music, linguistics, and multiples of 7. She was quite gifted in math, demonstrating incredible skill in mathematics and music, but lost skills after head trauma and over-medication. [10] [11] She is also a lesbian. [9] Bascom has written in detail about her disability. Her body often has trouble moving, be it opening boxes, dressing herself, or standing up. [12] [13] Loud Hands: Autistic People, Speaking 2015-02-05. Loud Hands begins with a pun: the loud hands of a stim becoming the loud hands on the keyboard. "Having loud hands is about being proudly Autistic, starting from the basic, foundational idea that there is nothing wrong with us ."--quoted from the submissions page of the Loud Hands Project website. It opens with a dedication to 36 children "and all of the names we may never know" and the hope that they rest in peace. One was six months old and died at the hands of his mother because he was believed autistic. The oldest was 22. It starts with an essay: "Don't Mourn for Us," in which Jim Sinclair argues that autism is not death, but is grieved by parents as if it were; that relationships are possible between allistic parent and autistic child if certain assumptions are acknowledged and certain expectations are adjusted. It explains how the Autism Network International (ANI) became an organization by, for, and about autism, showing that you don't have to be allistic to run a successful organization or create a solid community. The key? Leveraging the different strengths of other aspies. which is exactly how teamwork happens among NTs. It publishes Ari Ne'eman's essay, which the Autism Speaks Association's The Advocate wouldn't publish, because Ne'eman disputes the "cure paradigm." It refutes Rainman as a symbol. Amy Sequenzia's brief essay "Non-Speaking, Low Functioning" describes what she needs from people to make her value known to people, the simple common sense of respecting dignity when it's packaged differently. And the awe and wonder of connecting with a truly different, obviously human, mind. Nick Walker studies how culture changes its point of view--known as "paradigm shifts." He uses ordinary language to demystify the academic process that moves AS from an abnormal and defective state to the same diversity we struggle to extend to race, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Zoe Gross's scathing examination of how dividing autism from personhood exposes how advertising uses metaphors from military, clinical, and deadly metaphors rob aspies of humanity because they can't be separated from their neurodiversity. She shows pictures. The letter, "Dear Younger Self" is a love song to the unloved. The section "What They Do To Us" focuses on how people disturbed by stims damage those whose stimming is more obvious. Julia Bascom's essay "Quiet Hands" takes us on a slow descent into silence when those of us who speak with our hands are asked, ordered, forbidden, and finally physically prevented from using our hands. "Not being able to speak is not the same as not having anything to say." It closes by explaining why autism awareness is necessary but not sufficient, what advocacy, especially self-advocacy looks like, and closes with Anne Foreman's essay "On World Autism Awareness Day:" "It takes a long time to figure out that you're not the reason you aren't real. When they laugh, keep yelling. When they tie your soul up and cut it out and dump it in a corner, keep yelling. If a(n autistic) shark stops stimming, it will die. Don't stop stimming." Staff. Julia Bascom serves as Executive Director at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. Previously, she did state-level work in her home state of New Hampshire, where she served on the DD council and co-led an inter-agency team to revitalize self-advocacy within the state. Julia edited Loud Hands: Autistic People, Speaking , an anthology of writings by autistic people, and currently serves on the advisory board of Felicity House, and the boards of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities, the Institute for Exceptional Care, and Allies For Independence. Zoe Gross, Director of Advocacy. Zoe Gross is Director of Advocacy at Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

In 2012, Zoe created the annual Disability Day of Mourning vigil, a national, cross-disability event which commemorates the lives of disabled people murdered by their family members or caregivers. She received a White House Champions of Change award for this work in 2013. Sam Crane, Legal Director. Sam Crane is Legal Director at ASAN’s national office. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Sam previously served as staff attorney at the Bazelon Center of Mental Health Law, focusing on enforcing the right to community integration as established by the Supreme Court in Olmstead v.

  • The Open Notebook – Writing Well About Disability
    FTawciettbeor ok Search Reported Features Writing Well about Disability October 24, 2017 Rachel Zamzow Huntstock/disabilityimages.com In June, dozens of protesters with disabilities stormed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office in response to Medicaid cuts that were part of a proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Headlines and striking images called attention to the many people who were removed forcibly by Capitol Police, some being lifted out of their wheelchairs. But s.e. smith (spelled in lowercase), a disabled journalist and disability-rights activist who lives in Northern California, was frustrated by most of the coverage. Story after story not only had little substance about the cuts, but also failed to quote a single disabled person. Fed up, smith took action. In three 80-hour weeks, smith launched Disabled Writers, a database that connects journalists with sources who have disabilities. Many of the people on the list are also writers whom editors can hire. On the site, you can search profiles of some 150 sources by specific disability, such as cerebral palsy or blindness, or by area of expertise, from public policy to the sciences to medieval history. Resources like smith’s are a response to persistent problems in media coverage of disability-related topics. (The same issues that aggravated smith plagued stories about September protests against the Graham-Cassidy health care bill, another attempt to repeal Obamacare.) The biggest problem: Though disabled people make up the nation’s largest minority group, their voices are often left out of stories about disabilities. That omission is particularly egregious, according to members of that community.

  • Introduction Contents
    Select Committee on Autism, Department of the Senate, Parliament House, Canberra, ACT 2600. To the Committee, Introduction My name is David Cameron Staples. I am a son, a husband, a father, a professional worker in IT, I have lived in Melbourne my whole life, and I am on the Autism spectrum. Or, as we autists tend to prefer, I am “autistic”. Since I received my Asperger’s Syndrome diagnosis in 2010 at the age of 37, I have been reconciling myself with this new revealed identity, relearning how to better manage myself and my relations with others, and, over the last few years, attempting to advance the cause of Autism advocacy and access in my workplace at the University of Melbourne. Please note that what follows is based on my own experience and understanding. I am not a researcher (although I do make an effort to stay abreast of the research), and I do not speak for the University of Melbourne. I speak as an advocate for myself, and for my autistic kin, including those who aren’t so lucky as to be able to speak on their own behalf, easily or at all. I have tried to highlight key points below by bolding the main point and applying callout marks in the margins, as in this paragraph. I would make more recommendations for where to go next, but I think the main problem is that either we still don’t understand the question well enough yet, or else that it’s blindingly obvious what the answer is, but no-one’s done anything to implement it yet.

    Neurodiversity 101 and how diverse projects can empower Today We Will Talk About: • The larger vision of LHP • The Loud Hands Project's Neurodiversity 101 materials. • Some previews of the site • The potential of projects that use multiple mediums to communicate in • The importance of embracing alternative mediums of communication Loud Hands Project "The Loud Hands Project is a structured, multi-facetted response by the Autistic community to the systematic disenfranchisement, bullying, and abuse experienced by autistic youth, young adults, and self advocates. Taking the form of a publishing effort by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and spearheaded by Julia Bascom, The Loud Hands Project consists of multiple prongs organized around the theme of what the Autistic community refers to as “having loud hands”—autism acceptance, neurodiversity, Autistic pride, community, and culture, disability rights and resistance, and resilience. We focus on cultivating resilience among autistic young people and empowering us in building communities and cultures of ability, resistance, and worth." - From the Loud Hands Project Tumblr The Loud Hands Project is a transmedia project, which means we use multiple forms of content–written words, videos, and more. This is not just because transmedia is good for distributing information to multiple groups of people. It is because people communicate through diverse media, and it is important to honor that. Some mediums are more ignored, while others are given priority. This creates an imbalance in communication. By being transmedia, LHP can help work to correct that imbalance, and empower voices that aren't heard as often. Current Projects Currently, we are working on getting various aspects of our site ready to launch.

    I AM AN ASPIE GIRL: A BOOK FOR YOUNG GIRLS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM CONDITIONS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Danuta Bulhak-Paterson, Teresa Ferguson, Tony Attwood | 32 pages | 21 Apr 2015 | JESSICA KINGSLEY PUBLISHERS | 9781849056342 | English | London, United Kingdom Asperger and Autism Spectrum: Women and Girls – The Asperger / Autism Network (AANE) Women with Asperger profiles are less likely to be diagnosed and more likely to be misdiagnosed for a number of reasons. While many professionals and advocates are working hard to change this reality, there is still a long way to go in terms of universal understanding and recognition of the unique gifts and challenges of Asperger women. While the core characteristics of an Asperger profile does not differ between genders, girls and women might demonstrate different outward reactions to the profile. While every girl and women with an Asperger profile is unique, many share certain experiences. Frequently, women with Asperger profiles, like neurodiverse men, have intense special interests; however, these special interests can follow different sets of themes. Historically, women have been less likely than men to be interested in transportation, computers, or astronomy, and more likely to be passionate about literature, the arts, animals, environmental activism, and other topics with relational themes. That said, when it comes to special interests, anything goes for both genders. There are no limits to the variety and depth of interests or expertise for both females and males with Asperger profiles. As always, these interests are ever-evolving with the times. While many people have fought long and hard to ensure universally accepted gender equality, boys and girls are still often socialized differently in our modern culture.

Include short statement addressing how this course meets the FSEM’s basic components and new student learning outcomes (see FSEM call above). This course is the most-taught FSEM in the history of UMW; I have offered 23 different sections of the course since its debut in Spring 2008, including the four most recent sections (two in Spring 2014 and two in Fall 2014) that already incorporate the new student learning outcomes into the course (see the COURSE GOALS/LEARNING OUTCOMES portion of the syllabus). The basic components of a FSEM at UMW have remained the same since the inception of the program, so these have been incorporated into all 23 sections previously taught (see the first paragraph of the COURSE DESCRIPTION portion of the syllabus). This course also features multiple meaningful assignments where both writing and speaking are concerned (see the COURSE ASSIGNMENTS portion of the syllabus). Finally, this course already has incorporated two of the new Canvas modules (CA and CRAAP) into its syllabus/calendar. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further information.
