Finding You Finding Me: Using Intensive Interaction To Get In Touch With People Whose Severe Learning Disabilities Are Combined With Autistic Spectrum Disorder - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What is this book about?Finding You Finding Me is about some of the many people with whom I havebeen involved over the last 35 years, whose severe learning difficulties arelinked with autism. While the majority are adult, some are children.Without exception, all those mentioned are on the autistic spectrum.For those of us who are sometimes known as neurotypical (NT), wholive with and support people on the spectrum, there is almost always afeeling of separation. In some respects this can be enhanced by definitionswhich separate ‘us’ and ‘them’ into categories – when the aim of this bookis to show how we can share common ground. Nevertheless, ‘neurotypical’is a convenient shorthand which is offered by people with autism and so Ishall use it gratefully, while remembering that we have common purposewhich I shall try to unravel as we move on. I shall think of us as partnerswith common purpose and endeavour.How can we get in touch with each other? Where is the key to relation-ship in a partnership which will consist of one person who is known asautistic and the other who may be a parent, support partner, therapist,community worker, advocate, manager or simply someone who would liketo be a friend but is baffled by the communication gulf ? Since the twopartners live in different sensory worlds, none of these roles will help us tomeet unless we can find some way of getting close to each other which iscomfortable for both of us.

Body Image (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Most people would like to change something about their bod-ies and the way that they look, but for some people it isan obsession. A freckle, a mole, the size of their nose, the sym-metry of their ears, the size of their breasts, whatever the flaw orflaws, major or minor, real or misperceived, noticeable or not,they are life consuming for people with body dysmorphic disor-der (BDD).Sufferers of BDD may refuse to have their picture taken, stopgoing out with friends, quit going to school, stop going to work,refuse to leave home altogether, and even attempt suicide. Theymay have multiple plastic surgeries or just spend literally hours aday looking at, trying to cover up, measuring, and thinking abouttheir perceived defect. No amount of reassurance will comfortthem.Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) is a unique type ofBDD. Sometimes called “amputee wannabees,” sufferers feelthat they will not be themselves until a certain limb or limbsare amputated. Driven to desperation, some have taken it uponthemselves to remove their own limbs or have damaged them byfreezing them so that they have to be amputated. Once the limbsare gone, they feel whole.While people with BIID are desperate to remove something,others feel compelled, or just want, to add something. Bodymodification can range from the tame to the extreme. Multipletattoos, multiple piercings, and piercings in every part of thebody imaginable are becoming more common and more cultur-ally acceptable. Some people go to greater extremes with thingslike tattoos covering their entire bodies, sewing beads into theirskin, branding (burning a permanent scar), eyeball tattooing,eyeball jewelry, tooth filing, tongue splitting, ear pointing orshaping, and 3-D body modification such as horn implanting

Teen Driving (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the case of Robertson v. the Department of Public Works, JusticeTolman of the Washington State Supreme Court stated that:Complete freedom of the highways is so old and well establisheda blessing that we have forgotten the days of the Robber Baronsand toll roads, and yet, under an act like this [regarding a lackof jurisdiction in a case on driving without a license], arbitrarilyadministered, the highways may be completely monopolized;if, through lack of interest, the people submit, then they maylook to see the most sacred of their liberties taken from themone by one, by more or less rapid encroachment.The question remains, though: Is driving a right or a privi-lege? Nina A. of Byron Center, Michigan, published an articleon teenink.com describing the day she decided it was indeed aprivilege. While driving her little blue Geo Tracker early onemorning, struggling to stay awake, she ran a red light and causedan accident. She wrote, “Nothing is more important than hav-ing enough sleep to drive safely and keep myself and others safe(and possibly even alive). These are all reminders of just how biga privilege driving really is.”If driving were considered a right, instead of a privilege, shouldanyone be able to just hop into a vehicle—car, truck, tractortrailer—and hit the interstate? What of learning the traffic lawsfirst and passing a driver’s license test? Should people have tostudy driving laws in advance, or will they automatically figureout how it all works when they jump behind the wheel of a 4,000-pound car or an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler? What happens if theydo not figure it out quickly enough?
