Gerunds are verb forms ending in "-ing" that can be used as nouns. Gerunds can serve as the subject of a sentence, after certain verbs like "like" and "enjoy", and after prepositions like "in" and "before". Some examples of gerund usage include "running is good exercise", "I enjoy swimming", and "before going to bed". Gerunds are also used after the verb "go" to indicate activities, such as "we went hiking on Sunday".
This document contains a series of questions about various topics such as countries, sports, animals, and activities.

This document defines and provides examples of different family relationships. It explains relationships such as boyfriend/girlfriend, fiancé, bride/groom, parents, siblings, children, and relatives through marriage including in-laws. Examples are given such as nieces, nephews, cousins, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, and father-in-law. The document aims to outline and clarify different types of family members and their relationships to one another.
This document provides examples of using "should" and "shouldn't" to give advice or recommendations. It lists sentences such as "He should get a haircut" and "She shouldn't play video games" to illustrate how "should" is used for positive recommendations and "shouldn't" is used for negative recommendations. The document also gives safety recommendations for someone in Trujillo, advising that they should not walk alone or take unofficial taxis and should be careful.
The document discusses past modal verbs of deduction. It provides examples of sentences using past modal verbs of deduction like "may have", "might have", and "can't have". It explains that past modal verbs of deduction are used to make guesses about the past, with "must have" and "had to have" indicating more certainty. It also cautions that "must have" can indicate either a strong deduction or an obligation, depending on the context.
This document explores common fears that people experience such as heights, bugs, horror movies, death, darkness, wild animals, falling, and not getting married or falling in love. It asks a series of questions to prompt reflection on what scares individuals the most both as children and adults, as well as recounting the most frightening experience one has had.
An Indian man witnessed a herd of elephants being led by a single small rope tied to their legs. When he asked the trainer how this was possible, the trainer explained that they had been tied with the same small ropes since they were young. Over time as the elephants grew larger, they did not try to break free of the ropes because they had learned they were not strong enough. This story is meant to illustrate that people can become discouraged by initial failures just as the elephants felt the ropes were still restrictive despite having grown much larger. The moral is that failures are a natural part of learning and success requires persevering through setbacks by continuing to try again.

Time clauses are similar to conditionals but use time connectors like "when", "until", and "after" followed by the present tense to refer to future time. The document provides examples and explanations of how to form and use each type of conditional sentence.

They usually swim at a competition pool where they wear a swimsuit, slippers, towel, and cap, but elsewhere can wear a bikini or shorts. Their favorite strokes are crawl and butterfly, and they started swimming at age six in a river. Being in the water makes them feel like they are in a different world where they can do anything.
The document discusses the differences between modal verbs such as should, must, have to. It explains that should and must are true modal verbs that do not require auxiliaries, while have to is a semi-modal verb that behaves like a regular verb.

5. WAT IS AUTISME?
Hersenen werken anders
Alles wat je waarneemt
(horen, zien, ruiken, voelen, proeven)
wordt door je hersenen op een andere
manier verwerkt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aStVzuksGg
6. WAT IS AUTISME?
Autisme is GEEN ziekte
Het is aangeboren
Je kunt het niet genezen, dus je hebt
het ook nog als je oud bent
Er zijn geen pillen voor
Het komt best veel voor (1 op 100)
Iedereen met autisme is anders
Niet dodelijk
Het voelt ook niet anders
Het is niet besmettelijk
7. WAT BETEKENT HET WOORD AUTISME?
Het komt van het Griekse woord
autos
Autos betekent zelf
Autisme betekent:
in zich zelf gekeerd
8. HOE IS HET OM AUTISMETE HEBBEN?
Zonder autisme is de puzzel meteen klaar Met autisme is de puzzel altijd moelijker
9. HOE IK DEWERELD ZIE
Het is soms moeilijk om alles
als een geheel te zien.
Daarom is het gemakkelijker
als alles op dezelfde manier
gebeurt
10. IK KIJK ANDERS NAAR DEWERELD
Ik zie heel veel details, maar
niet altijd het grote geheel
12. WAT IS LEUK AAN AUTISME HEBBEN?
Ik kan goed alleen zijn / spelen
Ik kan op heel veel verschillende
manieren met iets spelen
Als ik iets leuk vind, dan kan ik er
heel veel over onthouden en laat ik
me door niets afleiden
Ik kan goed gamen
Ik ben creatief
13. AFSPRAKEN ZIJN AFSPRAKEN!
Een afspraak is een afspraak voor
mij, regels zijn regels
Ik begrijp niet goed dat andere
kinderen niet altijd de regels
volgen
Ik word snel boos als ik
onrechtvaardigheid zie of als
iemand een regel overtreedt
14. IK DENK HEEL CONCREET!
Ik word snel boos als het druk is in mijn hoofd of als ik dingen niet begrijp
Ik neem alles erg letterlijk
15. IK BEN HEEL GEVOELIG!
Ik kan niet goed tegen grote groepen
mensen en veel lawaai
Ik heb tijd nodig om tot rust te komen.
Daarom heb ik soms oordopjes nodig
De turnles is soms te druk voor mij en
dan word ik boos!
Daarom ben ik soms ook graag alleen
16. NIETTE DRUK GRAAG!
Wat voor jullie gewoon rustig
en gewoon is, komt bij mij veel
drukker binnen…
Begrijpen jullie nu hoe ik me
soms voel als het echt druk is?
Daarom ga ik soms naar de
zorgklas als het te druk is of
naar de boekenzolder tijdens de
speeltijd
https://vimeo.com/199041551
17. IK HEB OOK GRAAGVRIENDEN!
Ik begrijp niet altijd goed hoe andere
mensen zich voelen
Ik weet niet altijd goed hoe ik met
anderen moet omgaan
Maar ik heb graag mensen rond mij
en ik ben ook graag een trouwe
vriend!
18. HELDERE COMMUNICATIE
Ik heb graag eenvoudige en
heldere instructies (dit is niet
hetzelfde als veel uitleg)
Ik hou van voorspelbaarheid
(en niet van verrassingen)
19. HOE GA IK OM MET AUTISME?
De vorige 3 jaar had ik begeleiding van
een GON leraar, samen hebben we een
survival gids gemaakt. Die heeft me al
veel geholpen.
Proefwerken maken in de zorgklas
Oordopjes als het te druk is
Leren om minder boos te worden
20. NOG ENKELETIPS OM ME BETERTE BEGRIJPEN
Als ik boos ben, kan dat komen
doordat mijn hoofd erg vol zit.
Laat me dan maar eventjes.
Alleen zijn helpt echt.
Vertel mij altijd van tevoren wat er
gaat gebeuren. Ik hou niet zo van
onverwachte gebeurtenissen.
Soms is een taak
of opdracht voor
mij gemakkelijker
dan een keuze.

Editor's Notes
Ik ben op de allereerste plaats een mens. Ik heb autisme, maar ben niet op de eerste plaats een autist. Mijn autisme is maar een aspect van mijn karakter. Dat bepaalt niet hoe mijn hele persoonlijkheid is.
Terwijl andere mensen een groter geheel zien, zie ik hier eerst een zeilboot, Wally, een handdoek en pas daarna een volledig strand
Ik denk concreet. Dat betekent dat ik heel letterlijk neem wat er gezegd wordt. Bijv. het regent pijpenstelen, dan weet ik al helemaal niet wat stelen zijn. En loop niet zo hard van stapel tegen mij zeggen als je bedoelt dat ik eerst even na moet denken. Waarom moet ik hard van een stapel lopen?
De verwerking van de waarnemingen met mijn zintuigen is in de war. Dat betekent dat al die gewone dingen die je elke dag ziet, hoort, ruikt en proef en jij niet eens opmerkt, mij pijn kunnen doen. De omgeving waarin ik moet leven lijkt vijandig, ik mag dan wel vergeleken worden met een ruziezoeker, maar eigenlijk probeer ik me gewoon te verdedigen.
Probeer erachter te komen wat mijn woede uitbarstingen veroorzaakt. Kwade buien, woede uitbarstingen, zijn voor mij nog erger dan voor jou. Ze gebeuren als één van mijn zintuigen overspannen raakt en ik het niet met woorden kan uitdrukken. Probeer te ontdekken wat eraan vooraf ging en hoe ik ze dan kan voorkomen.
Help me met mensen om te gaan. Het lijkt alsof ik niet met anderen wil omgaan, maar ik weet soms niet hoe ik moet beginnen, tegen ze te praten of moet gaan meedoen met bijv. een spel. Ik ben het best in gestructureerde activiteiten met een duidelijk begin en einde. Gezichtsuitdrukkingen of lichaamstalen, maar ook andermans emoties begrijp ik niet altijd dus ik zou het erg op prijs stellen als men mij elke keer weer vertelt hoe ik op de juiste manier reageer. Als ik lach omdat iemand bijv. valt, betekent het niet dat ik leuk vind. Leer mij dan zeggen: “Sorry, heb je je pijn gedaan?”
Kinderen met autisme voelen zich vaak uitgesloten of gepest omdat ze niet begrijpen waarom kinderen bepaalde dingen doen of zeggen.
Bijvoorbeeld: ze begrijpen niet waarom een klasgenootje hen voor de grap een duwtje geeft.
Ze hebben graag controle over hoe de dingen verlopen. Daarom vinden ze het moeilijk om samen te spelen met andere kinderen, want ze weten niet wat er gaat gebeuren. Soms sluiten ze zich daarom een beetje af en spelen liever alleen.
Maak alsjeblieft onderscheid tussen niet willen (ik kies ervoor iets niet te doen) en niet kunnen (ik kan het niet doen). Het is niet zo dat ik niet naar opdrachten luister, ik begrijp je soms gewoon niet. Als je me van de andere kant van het vertrek roept, dan hoor ik ’8&^%$#Frederik#$^%$&. Je moet naar me toekomen en duidelijk in mijn gezicht zeggen wat je van me wilt, en wat er gaat gebeuren.
Mozart: de bekendste componist
Albert Einstein: Ook hij had autisme. hij deed veel met natuurkunde
Michael Jackson: een heel goede popzanger
Steve Jobs: stichter en grote baas van Apple
Vincent van Gogh: schilder
Bill Gates: De rijkste man van de wereld heeft ook autisme. Hij heeft trouwens ook Microsoft bedacht!
