Exploring bullying in autism through a content analysis of autobiographies / Mary-Ellen HUXTER in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.5-11 Titre : Exploring bullying in autism through a content analysis of autobiographies Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mary-Ellen HUXTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.5-11 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Bullying is sadly an all too frequent occurrence for autistic children and adults which leads to low self esteem, loneliness, anxiety and depression. Autistic children and young people often fail to report this to teaching staff or their parents, so it remains hidden. This paper by Mary-Ellen Huxter summarises a piece of research which was submitted as a dissertation in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MA Child and Adolescent Mental Health (MA CAMH) at the University of South Wales. The nature of bullying in childhood is explored from the perspective of eight autistic adults from their published autobiographies. Mary-Ellen analysed the contents and describes the forms of bullying they all experienced and its effects. She notes what these adults thought helped them to cope with being bullied and suggests how staff in schools and other settings might respond to bullying.

Issues in persistent non attendance at school of autistic pupils and recommendations following the reintegration of 11 autistic pupils / Catrina LOWRI in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.12-20 Titre : Issues in persistent non attendance at school of autistic pupils and recommendations following the reintegration of 11 autistic pupils Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catrina LOWRI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.12-20 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Catrina is a specialist teacher and an educational consultant and trainer who supports many schools and nurseries in Wales and the South West of England and is the founder of Neuroteachers, a training and coaching company for educators. In this paper, she argues that official data shows that autistic pupils in the UK often have periods of prolonged absence from school. Staff are keen to help pupils back into school, but Catrina argues that there is rarely 'a quick fix' and that it can be helpful to think in terms of the pupil having a serious injury or physical illness, where staff would not expect a quick return to school. Triggers for non attendance may be a specific incident or the result of longer term social exclusion or feelings of failure. Worries about home and family members might also contribute and so a thorough analysis and understanding of the issues contributing to their non attendance needs to be made. Catrina and others believe that autistic pupils are often traumatised by their experiences and so using trauma informed approaches can be successful. She presents a case study to illustrate the points she makes and adds to this with details of ten other persistent non attenders. This paper fits well with the Accept Approach described by Aaron Yorke in this issue of the GAP Journal and the paper on bullying by Mary Ellen Huxter. Taken together, these serve to give ideas on what might be helpful.

A case study of two autistic children supported by the Accept Approach: a new acceptance based strategy / Aaron YORKE in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.21-31 Titre : A case study of two autistic children supported by the Accept Approach: a new acceptance based strategy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Aaron YORKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.21-31 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The author is a specialist teacher and autism advisor for Local Authorities in the West Midlands. He was diagnosed autistic at 30 years old and is a proud parent of two autistic children. In 2019, he began developing 'the Accept Approach' which is a new acceptance based approach aimed at helping to support autistic children and young people who do not respond to traditional autism strategies. This paper reflects on the impact that the Accept Approach had with two autistic children who were not attending school due to high levels of anxiety. Both children responded well and returned to education and feedback was positive from their parents.

Autism, librarianship and their fit / Karen ATTAR in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.32-39 Titre : Autism, librarianship and their fit Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Karen ATTAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.32-39 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The author was late diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and works as a librarian at the University of London. In this paper, she considers why librarianship is often cited as an appropriate career for able autistic people. She argues little has been written as to why this might be and so uses her own personal experience to suggest which characteristics often seen in autistic people, lend themselves to the profession. The author also identifies some of the issues that might arise in the workplace and how these might be addressed. She makes the point that much of this applies to other fields and so the paper has relevance to other types of employment. The Editor welcomes more papers written on the workplace experiences of autistic adults.

Autistic doctors: is there a problem? / Tom BERNEY in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.40-43 Titre : Autistic doctors: is there a problem? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tom BERNEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.40-43 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Dr Tom Berney is a retired Developmental Psychiatrist who has had a lifetime interest in autism. In this short paper, he sets out the positive contribution autistic doctors can make and outlines some of the issues that might arise in the working environment for them and their colleagues or patients and possible solutions. With the increasing emphasis on admission criteria and the professional standards being set, he warns that the profession might exclude some people in the future by virtue of their diagnosis and argues that this would be a great loss. In this issue of the GAP Journal, there is also a paper by an autistic librarian who raises similar issues. The Editor would welcome papers which highlight the contribution of autistic employees and which illustrate workplace adjustments that have made a significant difference.

The development of a partnership to provide an accredited qualification in autism and its evaluation / Rachel FERGUSON in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.44-50 Titre : The development of a partnership to provide an accredited qualification in autism and its evaluation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rachel FERGUSON, Auteur ; Fiona MCCAFFERY, Auteur ; Kim MAGUIRE, Auteur ; Majella NUGENT, Auteur ; Fionnuala TYNAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.44-50 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper has been written jointly by researchers (RF and FMc) and an Autism Adviser and Trainer from the Middletown Centre in Northern Ireland (MN) and by two academics at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland (KM and FT). Together they developed an accredited course in autism designed for parents and professionals working with autistic children and young people. This was a blended learning course and the authors were able to switch to a wholly online programme when the effects of the pandemic led to lockdown. They present data on what the students felt they had gained from the four modules and the course overall. It would be fascinating to do a further study to look at the changes in practice that led from engagement and learning on the course.

Attachment theory and attachment difficulties: supporting autistic children and young people in residential school settings / Felicity HEPPER in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 22-2 (October 2021)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 22-2 (October 2021) . - p.51-58 Titre : Attachment theory and attachment difficulties: supporting autistic children and young people in residential school settings Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Felicity HEPPER, Auteur ; Kathleen BARTLETT, Auteur ; Mary-Clare FEARN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.51-58 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this paper, the authors, Dr Felicity Hepper (a child and adolescent psychiatrist), Kathleen Bartlett (an assistant psychologist) and Mary-Clare Fearn (a music therapist) argue that some autistic children and young people who attend residential schools also have an attachment disorder and that their needs arising from attachment difficulties also need to be addressed. The paper is in three parts and starts by describing different attachment styles and then goes on to suggest how these might manifest in a child's behaviour and how staff might be supported to understand this. The final part makes suggestions on actions likely to help autistic children to feel secure in a residential school setting, especially when coping with daily transitions between staff and between home and school. The authors state their aim is to be a 'good-enough' in-loco parent with a positive regard for the child, providing warmth and encouragement. By liaising effectively with parents and other family members to understand the underlying reasons for some of the child's responses and actions, staff can then deal sensitively and appropriately to the challenges they face and the child will slowly develop their trust in others and feel secure in their attachments.
