Happy Dance A response to "Exuberance" by ShinyMetalBrain. The happy dance I always want to do when I'm in a really good mood. And how I couldn't be trained out of it by a guy determined to pathologize it. And yes this was filmed while IN that flappy/bouncy sort of mood.

How to Boil Water the EASY Way A funny-but-serious description of how to boil water, from someone who really DOES find it at least this difficult in real life. While it's presented humorously, this is about something that can be a real problem for autistic people among others, especially if we're either presumed capable of this because of our academic abilities or presumed academically incapable because of our trouble with this sort of stuff.

In My Language The first part is in my "native language," and then the second part provides a translation, or at least an explanation. This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.

Interview with Laura about Autism Recovery (3 of 3) This is the third part of a three-part interview with a 49-year-old autistic woman about the concept of autism recovery. She continues to discuss the problems inherent in assuming that speaking autistic people are recovered, as well as getting further into discussions of discrimination and the proper responses to autistic people's skills and difficulties. This is part 3 of 3, so please watch the other two videos as well in order for this to make sense. (You might want to start with part 1 and 2.)

Interview with Laura about Autism Recovery (1 of 3) This is the first part of a three-part interview with a 49-year-old autistic woman about the concept of autism recovery. She discusses the great improvement in her ability to speak since childhood, and then whether or not she believes this means she is recovered from autism. This is only part 1 of 3, so please watch the other two videos as well in order for this to make sense. Tags: autism recovery autistic recovered autie disability speech language interview |
