Hi from Twickenham

Micro

Just to say hello.  Autism is a big part of my life.  My sister is severely affected, she is non-verbal and in residential care. My son is 3 and was diagnosed 12 months ago and has just started at a specialised nursery unit. He thank goodness is talking a bit but delayed. My nephew is going through assessment.  He is very bright especially in maths and language but has some social difficulties. And me, well all my family reckon we're above average AQ, but I think I'm particularly well up there. finally I'm a maths teacher at a college so I also get to teach some amazing kids with ASD.  Kids that give me great hope for my son.  X

    HIya. Liked the other people thread. I find it the hardest bit as well, even after growing up with it with my sis.

  • Hi, my name is James.

    I work at a school called Borgmastarskolan, in Helsingborg, southern Sweden. It is a special school for children with both autism and some form of mental handicap. Me and my class collegues have recently made a short, amateur film called 'With other eyes', in which the viewer gets to meet the four students in our class,

    The film gives us a closer look into the students everyday life at school. We get to see how the right school environment encourages the students to develop creatively and define their identity.

    The film also shows how digital tools, such as touchpads and Smartboards, can make life easier and more creative.

    It is our first film project, and like i said it's quite amateur! But we have already recieved some really positive feedback and even had the privilege of showing it at a couple of culture festivals, both here in Sweden and in England.

    We would love to hear your thoughts on the film, so any feedback is much appreciated!

    Here is the link to the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8QJ81MgxU0


    Thanks!
