Graduation: Meeting Special Needs -
Many learning disabled students
are finding that they learn more readily with a variety of technology
assistance and human support in their classrooms. But what happens once
they leave school? Whether moving into the workforce, or on to higher
education, most high school graduates discover they must adjust to new
environments on their own and learn to advocate for themselves. Alyne
Ellis takes a look at how some schools and universities are trying to ease
the transition of learning disabled students to a life after graduation.
This program is part of our ongoing series on education and technology and
is funded in part by the United States Department of Education.

Autism - The Health Report Monday 21 October 2002 with Norman
Swan. Autism a condition which is very difficult to diagnose. In the
last decade there has been an increased acceptance that autism is part of
a spectrum of disorders with social interaction, behaviour and/or
communication features in common. Despite this, autism spectrum disorders
still have no official diagnostic classification system and there is
controversy about claims that the prevalence of autism has increased.

Breakfast – Autism New
research is suggesting that indeed the brains of men and women are
different. Women have E-type or empathizing brains, while men have S or
systematizing brains. S-brains occur in autism sufferers. Autism is a
disorder that locks people in a world of their own, distant from reality
yet analytical and unemotional. So what if autism was a natural state of
affairs for men?

mother or father. You are a child with a parent who suffers all the social
dysfunction of autism, and you are living in a world before there was
widespread recognition of the condition. That is the experience of Judy
Singer, she has realised as an adult that her mother suffered from autism.
She’s still coming to terms with what that meant to her as a child and has
reached out to find there are many other people who have been through
similar experiences.
Judy's segment is 40 mins. in to the first hour

Life
Matters – Temple Grandin and Julie McCrossin - Thursday 17/07/2003
Temple Grandin's first book, Emergence: Labelled Autistic was the first
insider account of autism, and in her own unique voice told us of the very
different ways in which an autistic person constructs their world. It also
told of her journey, from an isolated child, to her discovery of her
affinity with animals, to her appointment as a Professor of Animal Science
at Colorado State University. Her speciality is the care and handling of
livestock, including their processing in abattoirs. In the 15 years since
then, she has travelled the world, spending about half her time talking
about autism and half visiting abattoirs and ranches. She has also
published another book about her experience of autism – Thinking in
Pictures. |

The Health Report Monday, 29th July 1996 looks at the
strange case of Donna Williams, author of several remarkable books about
autism. Donna's third book, "Like Colour To The Blind", comes out in
Australia next week, and like the others, it tells the story of her life
as an autistic person. Her previous books have been worldwide
bestsellers. "Nobody Nowhere", for example, was on the New York Times
bestseller list for over a year, and the reason seems to be that they so
powerfully tear aside the curtain that surrounds autism. Her books
were marketed as a unique insight into the autistic mind, and they've been
an inspiration to many parents struggling for some insight into the closed
world of their autistic child.
