I am a child with autism who is overwhelmed by crowds and loud noises and learns better through one-step instructions spoken directly in plain words. While I may take things literally and have difficulty sitting still, I also have gifts like honesty, lack of judgment, and desire for social interaction; above all, I need unconditional love.

This document discusses bullying and provides advice for dealing with it. It defines bullying as intentionally hurting or intimidating others through physical or verbal abuse. It notes that bullying is widespread and can negatively impact children's well-being and school experience. The document recommends several strategies for targets of bullying, including avoiding and ignoring bullies when possible, standing confidently, telling a trusted adult, and not retaliating or showing emotional reactions.

Parent effectiveness training pres
Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) teaches parents how to communicate effectively with their children by avoiding being too permissive and using listening and problem-solving skills. PET utilizes a "behavior window" model where parents own problems to confront issues but let children own problems to facilitate growth. PET instructs parents to use active listening, avoid "you" messages, and not use 12 "roadblocks" like ordering or criticizing that could cause resistance or aggression in children.

This establishes boundaries and allows one to find a partner who genuinely respects them.

Cell phones in school can be useful for students in several ways such as contacting someone in an emergency, updating research more easily without needing to go to the library, and playing games during free time. However, teachers may see cell phones as a distraction or way for students to get in trouble rather than a learning tool. The document makes the case that cell phones have benefits for students but also acknowledges teachers' perspectives that they can be disruptive.

This document outlines the film and video classification system used in the UK. It describes the 5 different rating categories: Universal, suitable for all ages; PG which should not unsettle children aged 8 and up; 12A where children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult; 15 where no one under 15 can view; and 18 where no one under 18 can view, with the ratings indicating the age restrictions for viewing films at cinemas or renting/buying video works.

The document provides seven ways to respond to students with empathy: follow the Platinum Rule of treating others as they want to be treated; ask open-ended questions; set aside your own reactions; use "I" statements to avoid blame; actively listen; don't immediately try to fix problems but understand them first; and validate feelings. These techniques can help teachers understand students better and show them respect.

Additional challenges include maintaining friendships as teens learn more about themselves, feelings of isolation, and unhealthy coping mechanisms like smoking, drinking, or experimenting with drugs. While the problems of being a teenager are significant, youth is also a time of exploration and possibility before taking on adult responsibilities.

Raising an Inclusive Child by Karen Kajmowicz
This document provides 9 tips for raising children to be inclusive rather than exclusive. The tips include checking your own privilege, supporting your child's uniqueness, volunteering to help them develop empathy, encouraging diverse friendships, reaching out to social outcasts, letting children make mistakes as they learn, trusting children but also listening to others, choosing battles wisely, and listening to reports of any bullying behavior.
What is bullying
Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior among school-aged children involving a real or perceived power imbalance that is repeated over time. It includes threats, spreading rumors, attacks, and social exclusion. While teasing between friends can be playful, bullying crosses a line when it becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant. Parents should be aware of signs that their child may be a victim, like distress, injuries, not wanting to go to school, or declining performance. If bullying is suspected, parents should talk to their child, reassure them, and work with the school to resolve it. Ignoring bullies and telling adults are advised over fighting back.
Teenage psychology parent do and don't
Boys during puberty experience new confusing feelings and urges, and often relate these to emotions they already understand, further adding to their confusion. They may see girls as possessions rather than understanding real relationships. Most boys do not experience healthy crushes until age 14. Girls are more sensitive during adolescence and have higher expectations in relationships. They are also more focused on self-image and social standing, and these can lead to issues like depression and eating disorders if self-consciousness becomes extreme. Adolescents experience a range of emotions and freedoms as they develop, reflecting the vastness of God's own nature.

The document outlines barriers children with ASD face in traditional library programs and provides recommendations to overcome these barriers through adaptations like social stories, visual schedules, movement activities and peer support.

Informational firewall
The document discusses putting up "informational firewalls" or barriers to avoid exposing one's true self and inner experiences out of fear of rejection. It suggests that living with a prolonged sense of adolescence and evading exposure of one's life experiences can be like quicksand, leading to immobility. However, choosing growth both within and without through critical self-evaluation can lead to a more positive, useful and joyful life. It advises not worrying about the unknown future but rather trusting that life will provide opportunities for growth.
Jim's Power-of-Story
If you're reading this, it is because you wish to know what it is like to suffer from autism from the perspective of someone on the spectrum. Why you should want such a thing is beyond my comprehension. Was it a child of your own who also suffers? Or was it, perhaps, a morbid curiosity? I'm telling you right now, if you're looking for some words to inspire hope then you can stop reading right now. I'm a thirty-year-old who delivers pizza and still lives with his parents, I have none to give.
Self discovery
There is no greater joy than gradually dicovering who you are. This document hopes to help people break out of their shells and start the journey of self discovery.
