Amythest Schaber who is blogging at neurowonderful has a youtube channel with an “Ask An Autistic” series. I decided to collect a list of links to the individual videos so that you can easily find a video on the topic that you’re interested in learning more about.
DOES NOT “TEACH THEM TO BE SOCIAL AND DEVELOP INTO WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS”
IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.
AND MAKES THEM HATE SCHOOL.
SERIOUSLY.
COLLEGES TOO.
THERE IS NO REASON TO REQUIRE A PARTICIPATION GRADE.
IF I’M MAKING 90′S ON ALL MY TESTS/QUIZZES
IT MEANS I KNOW THE DAMN MATERIAL YOU TAUGHT
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU LOWER MY GRADE 10% JUST BECAUSE I DIDN’T TALK ENOUGH.
I SWEAR IF I GET ANOTHER “B” IN A CLASS THAT I EXCELLED IN JUST BECAUSE I DIDNT FEEL LIKE RAISING MY HAND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
I MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL U
PREACH
I may not be shy but I agree with you 100% about the whole participation part !
Seriously. Especially when it’s 20% of my grade
when its 30% of your grade tho, gotta love it
As a shy person I am 100% here for this.
I concur. Especially if they have soft voices and shy. I could barely speak loud on a good day.
Yea it all sucks ass.
Not only is it a passive aggressive attack on introverts, but autistic and socially-impaired people are basically doomed to fail from the start when you require specific interactions.
And can we please do away with the requirement for team projects? This is just another way to force people into situations they’re not comfortable in, especially when we all know how team projects work. One person plans everything, they delegate to the rest of the group what needs to be done, but because people are flakes, one person executes everything and the grade is given to all the members based on the stress one person dealt with.
If someone would rather just do the work themselves (rather than go through all the bs to end up doing it all themselves anyway), why not allow that instead of forcing them to try to work with 3-7 other people all with their own set of issues and obstacles?
Considering Africa is a continent with 54 different countries and over 3000 different ethnic groups, it really shouldn’t surprise people that there is no one set look for an African.
Afar people:
San people:
Amazigh people:
Oromo people:
Hausa people:
Masai people:
Edo people:
Wodaabe people:
These are just 8 of the over 3000 ethnic groups in Africa, and you can already see how beautiful and varied the people of Africa are.
THERE IS NO ONE AFRICAN “LOOK”.
Bring consent out of the bedroom. I think part of the reason we have trouble drawing the line “it’s not okay to force someone into sexual activity” is that in many ways, forcing people to do things is part of our culture in general. Cut that shit out of your life. If someone doesn’t want to go to a party, try a new food, get up and dance, make small talk at the lunchtable—that’s their right. Stop the “aww c’mon” and “just this once” and the games where you playfully force someone to play along. Accept that no means no—all the time.
People are always so damned shocked that I say no and don’t change my mind when they plead and coax, even when it’s something small like ‘hey grab some ice cream with us’ or ‘did you see that new embarrassing cringe viral video?’
Its almost the end of 2015 and you are still here. Whatever you have been through this year I am so proud of you for being so strong. I’m so proud of you. 2016 will be a better year for you.
