If you give me your e-mail address through the contact page on my blog though, I'd be happy to share it. Just keep in mind that it's a 100-level course, and that even though the article is about neurology, my interpretation is about the theories of cognitive development, so anything I say about neurology is solely for the purpose of hypothetical interpretation :) But yes...it was indeed fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-58858654952353863302011-11-20T18:12:55.816-06:002011-11-20T18:12:55.816-06:00@crackedmirrorinshalott: So sorry, I didn't me...@crackedmirrorinshalott: So sorry, I didn't mean to mis-summarize your post! I agree that these sorts of allies who don't listen aren't acting like allies. I meant to quote you as saying these sorts of allies are the problem, not all of them. I'll go back and fix this. :) <br /><br />@Lydia: You're welcome, I'm glad you found some interesting posts! Blessings. :)<br /><br />@thoughtyautie: Interesting! Sounds like fun! What kind of interpretation did you end up doing? I'm not immediately sure how any of these perspectives would respond to this sort of study, and it's giving me a lot to think about.<br /><br />@whoselaw: Thanks for the link! You've definitely gotten the wheels turning. I can see how this would be interesting to autistic adults new to the community. It's good to know there might be general academic interest, too. Something to look into once I've finished grad school applications...E.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07258276540400935661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-82911577275030930302011-11-14T14:29:47.265-06:002011-11-14T14:29:47.265-06:00I'm kind of amused by your summarizing my post...I'm kind of amused by your summarizing my post as being about allies being the problem. to me, They aren't- they can even be a resource. The problem is that they aren't acting as allies. the type of allies that I'm referring to center themselves, and don't allow or even disqualify the voices of actual Autistics- particularly when they disagree with said Autistic voices- instead of listening and supporting. <br /><br />Also amused because I feel like next to some of the other Autistics I know I'm such an ally lover/caterer. . . ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-15528791682829434842011-11-11T10:22:54.838-06:002011-11-11T10:22:54.838-06:00Thank you for compiling this interesting compendiu...Thank you for compiling this interesting compendium, and for linking to me not once but three times!

I'm taking a developmental psych class this quarter and our most recent assignment was to compare a popular press article with a professional journal article about some aspect of cognitive development, so I used a press article about Dinstein, et al.'s recent research. Then we had to apply constructivist, information processing, and nativist interpretations to the findings. Fun stuff :)<br /><br />And yes, thank you for the link as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-33873073145265015992011-11-07T10:26:35.281-06:002011-11-07T10:26:35.281-06:00I don't have a very specific idea of what kind...I don't have a very specific idea of what kind of sociology paper you could write - maybe a sort of general discussion of the diversity of the adult autistic experience and identification of frequent "themes" in autistic narratives. <br /><br />The one neat sociology-type paper I've read was this one: http://www.asknz.net/uploads/2/9/3/7/2937986/invisible_at_the_end_of_the_spectrum.pdf<br /><br />It's by a clinician and not a sociologist, and is focused entirely on people perceived as "high-functioning," but I really like its methodology and was pleasantly surprised to recognize myself in a lot of the narratives. I think it would really help to try and synthesize the narratives we're seeing on the internet and put them in a format that's accessible to professionals and academics outside of the community. It might also be helpful to autistic adults who are considering becoming more active in the community and want to know more about what it's like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-63190958518669090392011-11-06T18:37:48.273-06:002011-11-06T18:37:48.273-06:00Hi Emily,

I'm glad to hear from another Emily. :) You said you saw some things that'll help you put some thoughts into words--I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.<br /><br />It did take a few days to put this list together, but if it helps spread the word about ASDay and gets people talking, it'll be worth it. <br /><br />You're working on a paper on disrupted neural synchronization in autism? Interesting! Are you a psychologist/neuroscientist, too?E.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07258276540400935661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-84613837480474821692011-11-06T18:34:19.643-06:002011-11-06T18:34:19.643-06:00Twitchy Woman,

Your post gave me a lot to think about, so I was happy to link it.<br /><br />What sort of sociology paper did you see this turning into? I have a lot of partially-formed thoughts floating around about neurodiversity and the autism community, so it'd be great to bounce some ideas around. :)E.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07258276540400935661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733902656011255269.post-54852821870333388962011-11-06T14:49:36.056-06:002011-11-06T14:49:36.056-06:00Thanks for putting this together, and for the link...Thanks for putting this together, and for the link!

I've only had the chance to skim through it as I'm working on a paper (on disrupted neural synchronization in autism, of all things). I'm looking forward to reading it more thoroughly when I'm done though, as even in my skimming I saw certain things that will surely help me put some of my own thoughts into words.<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
