Some great mythbusting infographics here

Temporarily back from my break to celebrate World Autism Acceptance Day. :) For the next 24 hours I've got fifty of these pictures lined up, and I hope you like them. -Chris
(Before anyone asks- yes, I'll almost certainly end up putting an album together at the end. In the meantime, you can still share them individually if you want. :) )

[Image description] Picture entitled “World Autism Acceptance Day, Fact 1/50”. Black text on a blue background:
The days of “autism awareness” are ending. Awareness just means knowing that something literally exists.
“Autism acceptance” is what we need now: real appreciation of autistic people’s value.

Some people find the use of the puzzle logo for autism awareness is somehow offensive to autistic people. As an autistic person I am more likely to find ignorance, discrimination and wilful stupidity offensive.

I like this explanation from the folks over at Different, Not Less

Beyond the Spectrum

Martial arts have been shown to be very beneficial for kids in general, and kids on the Autism spectrum as especially. The Beyond the Spectrum program is designed to provide physical, intellectual, emotional and social skills therapy for children on the Autism spectrum, using martial arts as the tool to focus attention. The program introduces specialised skill-based training for children who have different physical, intellectual, social, and emotional abilities, with further consideration for sensory processing issues. With that said, more emphasis is placed on building fundamental skills training with a strategic balance of Martial Arts.

This is a pre-martial arts program designed to give kids with different abilities the background skills and understanding of the ‘hidden’ curriculum before graduating into the general classes; which program and the instructor student ratio for the individual class will be determined by a one-on-one pre-evaluation of the individual’s current capabilities and needs.

The pre-evaluation is not a test. It is not a pass/fail thing but it is a chance for everyone to meet, discuss your child’s needs, capabilities, likes and dislikes and to assess their current level of abilities relating to martial arts classes.

Once the one-on-one pre-evaluation is completed we will place the child in the most appropriate class for their current developmental phase – either one-on-one sessions, very small group classes Spectrum Skills (essentially pre-martial arts), and finally the regular group classes.
