“Það sem allir kennarar vita er að besta leiðin til árangurs í skólastarfi er að gefa sér tíma til að þekkja og skilja hvern nemanda vel,höfða til styrkleika og áhuga hvers og eins, skilja mismunandi þarfir vegna skynjunar, þörf fyrir einstaklingsmiðað skipulag, og að lokum aðgengi að spennandi námsefni sem höfðar til ólíkra námsleiða hvers og eins.
Það sem yfirvöld skilja ekki er að ef kennarinn hefur fleiri en 18-20 nemendur í hverjum bekk er þetta í raun alls ekki mögulegt. “

"The main reason we are finding more autism is simple: Clinicians are getting better at spotting what was always there." There is no autism epidemic. Anyone who claims otherwise is selling something, is a conspiracy theorist—or both.

In the center of the red shape is a white speech bubble, with text reading,

“Einhverfir eru ekki vandamál - heldur er það samfélagið, sem veit ekki hvernig eða hvað á að gera til að efla þátttöku þeirra.”

"Most autism research focuses on children, leaving big gaps in understanding Autistic adults. We need to know more about their lives, how they experience quality of life, independence, daily activities, and feelings of loneliness, mood, and mental health. By better understanding the needs and lived experience of Autistic adults, we can focus research and policy actions on the areas that are most important to this population." A recent report from Autism Alliance of Canada.

Inside the word balloon is all-caps white text reading, "Most autism research targets children so we don’t know enough about the needs of Autistic adults.
We have to refocus autism research priorities on adults’ lived experiences to expand autism resources and policy in areas that include and benefit autistic adults."

“Aðstæður og umhverfi sem börn læra mest í
er þar sem þau upplifa öryggi,gleði og samþykki.”

“Það þarf einstakan sérkennara sem skynjar og skilur þarfir nemandans án þess að hann hafi sagt eitt einasta orð.”

Thinking and research evolves over decades, as clinical/systems & practices wait for more evidence to come in. I grew weary of witnessing children in schools & agencies treated with methods backed by old research/thinking, and that's why I wrote Beyond Behaviors. We can't shift a paradigm until we define what it is, many people don't know that there's a new way to view children, a way that's not taught in traditional university settings. The "old paradigm" rests on research conducted decades ago, with a certain focus. (Simple cause/effect). Newer models that consider the complexity of human development, attempt to hold that complexity. Sharing this often felt like swimming upstream, but the relational joy we discovered behind the labels was the proof I needed to talk about the need for a shift across systems of education, mental health, and medicine.

How should we support babies who are likely to be autistic, before they get a formal diagnosis? Well, when autistic researchers asked autistic parents, it turns out those parents want early-in-life approaches to help them understand and support their children, NOT suppress kids’ autistic behaviours.
