Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 14-2 (October 2013) . - p.69-75 Titre : The story of a journey: 20 years of self-discovery in the performing arts Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sara CLETHERO, Auteur ; Eve MATTHEWS, Auteur ; Elizabeth ATTFIELD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.69-75 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this paper, Sara Clethero and her colleagues explore the value to adults with autism and their carers of the performance arts of drama and singing and the benefits of the Alexander Technique. She has worked with the same group of adults with autism for 20 years and so has a huge base and experience on which to reflect. She argues that: We have no right to expect that people with autism should fit into our concept of humanity. We have to learn to see them as they are. And a platform for their creative work seems to be the obvious vehicle for this. If we can make space for their imaginative responses to the world, it would seem that we have a much better chance of understanding them.
