My nephew is at this stage [his meltdowns are scary and his mother has called police many times on him] --This book was recommended
by another autistic I know. She has written the book while raising a difficult autistic boy: http://www.amazon.com/Outsmarting-Explosive-Behavior-Intervention-Individuals/dp/1934575445
I bought it myself [I'm a female autistic] and read the whole thing. It surely looks like it would have helped me and my parents when I had meltdowns as a kid. My brother and my father have read it and are using it on my nephew as we speak. [My brother and his wife are separated--I think that schizoaffective wife inadvertently training my nephew to get worse and worse over time --she had 51% custody and kept my nephew at her house with her own mother that seems to have paranoid schizophrenia--Now at my brother's house and with this book no real meltdowns have happened, no need to call police --sure he gets a little active, noisy, superficially scary, but the book has allowed them to understand my nephew and reduce harm and even the number of upsetting incidents he has by modifying parental behavior first, then this leads to modification of the child's behavior.] The author has a blog: http://www.judyendow.com/autistic-behavior/autism-and-the-importance-of-stabilization/
I hope you can also get expert advice by a PhD autism specialist psychologist or psychiatrist. The main thing they will do is help modify everyone's behavior and hopefully what they say out loud. Autism is a family affair --not something to be blamed on one person [the child] or really anyone at all. Stopping the blame game is key to viewing it properly and moving on to practical solutions.
Very, very limited study
(more details here, from the NIMH site).
Basically, they compared ~500 kids that died suddenly, for unexplained reasons, with ~500 kids that died in car accidents, and found that about 5 times as many of the first group were prescribed stimulants then in the second.
I'm trying to work-out how that translates into a 500% overall increased risk for sudden death, and can't quite figure out the syllogism. Regardless, sample size is way to small, huge methodological problems, but it's at least interesting, and worth looking into. Which is basically what the FDA says on the site that was linked above.
From the same fda.gov page:
>Given the limitations of this study’s methodology, the FDA is unable to conclude that these data affect the overall risk and benefit profile of stimulant medications used to treat ADHD in children. FDA believes that this study should not serve as a basis for parents to stop a child’s stimulant medication.
The actual story is bullshit activism citing a weak study and an "expert" who is really an activist with a product to sell. I'm certainly not familiar with her, and haven't done more then glance at her book on Google Books, but there are three reviews on Amazon, and to me this feels like the thinking man/redditor's review:
>I very much disagree with the reviews printed. I found the book to be very disjointed, repetitious, and light on factual underpinnings. It seems to be written in a stream-of-consciousness manner and flips rapidly from talking about the federal laws involved to urging political advocacy (for what is not really told) and back to how to advocate for your child. All the sections are light on facts. The section on Toxic Metals was particularly egregious: it intimated a conspiracy by the American Dental Association not to inform people that dental fillings could cause learning disabilities, yet cited no factual support whatsoever for that proposition. The editing was extremely poor: there were numerous grammatical errors and lots of repetition. The most useful portion is a small collection of websites on learning disabilities.

I think it depends on the signer, but yes, Deaf people can be very vocal, even if they are not oral.
I've had three ASL teachers over the years, two who were almost always completely silent, and my most recent teacher who was very vocal.
She would laugh out loud when something was funny or grumble when the class was doing something bad. She also used to shout to get our attention; she knew that even though she couldn't hear the sound, we could.
I think there might have been a similar question in a book we use in class, "For Hearing People Only", its a great source for questions about the Deaf community mostly from hearing people
Edit: I'm not sure exactly why it happens (since I personally am hearing), but I've actually found myself making similar vocal sounds during ASL class!
I'd recommend reading "For hearing people only"
https://www.amazon.com/Hearing-People-Only-Questions-Community/dp/0963401637
The book covers many questions about being deaf and Deaf culture. As for your specific question, the "inner voice" or "inner monolque" seems to be what you are asking about.
Link to another reddit discussion : https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/3fvlff/do_people_who_are_born_deaf_have_internal/
Or google "deaf inner monoloque" and find some articles/papers on the topic.
Previous commentHere are some great tips I read online about encouraging language development. But as a child I had speech issues please get him seen it might help him so much. So don't forget to give him space to answer. Ask him a simple question and wait and let him try to talk. Read books and occasionally just flip the page and see if he talks. Or just point to pictures in the books instead of reading the words. Like there's a cat meow!!! Games like 123 GO! Again sometimes see if he will say go.

Also new thing I just learned about aac devices. You can go low tech by incorporating baby sign language into your convos with him there are apps to help you easily access words or YouTube videos like baby signing time. There are expensive devices (like 300 plus) to help encourage more communication. Im ordering a cheap into book and device from Amazon called Lucas the lion loves the tiny talker.

I'm just starting my fourth year as a Sped teacher. The first thing you'll probably want to do is get your caseload organized, read their IEPs and use their diagnoses as a starting place for your research. Having a binder for each student to keep their accommodations, goals, parent contact, data and work samples will make your life so much easier when you have to write the IEP.
As far as IEP writing goes, each section is labeled with the general questions it needs to answer, however every school district has their own preferences of length, detail, style, and all the things it should/shouldn't include. Read the IEPs from the previous Sped teacher and you'll get a flavor for what they should look like.
I like this website as a resource for different learning disabilities and possible accommodations: ncld.org
There are lots of books about differeniated instruction on amazon, here's one.
The first year is definitely the hardest, but I've always found that other teachers and administrators enjoyed having me ask questions and were really helpful. Good luck!
Here, go buy it yourself mate 😂

"Sixth Sense II" by Carol Gray is a few lesson plans for teaching NT kids about autism https://www.amazon.com/Sixth-Sense-II-Carol-Gray/dp/1885477902
>I mean as much as we may agree with the heads politics, politics is what it is. Its written by an activist, is not a neutral education on the law, it selects elements of the EA the author values (LGBT), ignores others (like freedom of religion, or sex) and teaches contested theory (queer theory) as fact.
What a load of tosh
>The resource includes 5 lesson plans for every primary school year group (EYFS- Y6) based upon a selection of 35 picture books. Issues addressed include gender and gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, disability and age.

Seeing people can do it too, according to this: http://www.livescience.com/39231-humans-can-learn-to-echolocate.html
A fully Deaf person that uses sign language (a visual language) as their main form of communication is usually imagining pictures and images like we do but for all forms of communication. If you'd like to learn more about Deaf culture, I'd recommend to you this book written by a Deaf Child born from hearing parents.
Yes!
Study what you love and be your own teacher and self advocate and you’ll do fine.
It took me seven years to get a four year degree but I did it. In that struggle I learned how my mind works because my teachers didn’t have a clue. I took that knowledge and finished grad school in two and a half years with a 4.0. I’m going to do my Doctorate in the future too.
Check this out:
The Gift of Dyslexia Audiobook
It was the start of my own understanding and self empowerment.
Understand how best YOU learn and how YOUR mind works and you can do anything. Nobody else will do this for you but YOU.

Spatial and memory issues are often co-morbid with dyslexia and dyspraxia. Some researchers believe this is related to stunted growth of myelin sheaths over neurons during infant brain development--this book on dyspraxia goes into the mechanics of that while still being reader-friendly.
I am not dyslexic but words do move around on the page when I'm very tired. Words and sentences will move closer to me or further back and then drift into other rows, forming nonsense phrases and making me think I'm hallucinating. It may be an exhaustion or stress issue, or even related to my astigmatism.
Yeah there's a whole book on the subject.
If you're willing to PM or post some goals (sans name) I wouldn't mind taking the time to look them over for you and make suggestions.
I'm going to school to be a teacher! I have a couple years left, even though this will be my 5th year of college. I switched majors and then schools. Bad idea, by the way, just because of how long it'll take me to graduate.
You didn't say a price range, so I might as well give this a shot. This is my most important book this upcoming semester.
Found it.
I'm not saying you are on the autism spectrum, but people with high-cognitive ASD can certainly recognize emotions. They don't implicitly understand the underlying social rules. People who are not on the spectrum would not typically spend 9 years obsessing over body language cues.
There are some really specific books about social interaction written by/for people with Asperger's that might help you. Again, not saying you DO, but you might have some social skills deficits in common. Here are some options, and there are more: one two three four
BTW, I'm not talking out of my ass. Helping young adults with ASD with social skills is part of my profession.
Well I'll be damned, it's a real thing.
I'm not sure what's more dystopian: the fact that this was made in the first place, or the fact that a profit's being made from fearmongering.
Either way, this wins the quality post award and is getting stickyed for a few days. Great post, OP.
Are you in the Toronto area?
I didn't count how many books there are... 2 or 3 dozen maybe? If you want them, it's kind of an all or nothing deal. Most of them are bundled together with twine in small stacks. I'm not going to undo them.
Here are a few examples based on whatever book was on the top of some of the stacks. You'll notice none of these are particularly recent.

This book already exists: https://www.amazon.com/Hearing-People-Only-Questions-Community/dp/0963401637/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1VXZTWQRZAXBK&keywords=for+hearing+people+only&qid=1568676721&s=gateway&sprefix=for+hearing+people+o%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-2
Oralism is an education method for the deaf that focuses on making them "hearing" as possible. This usually involves alot of training in lip reading, speech therapy, avoidance of any form of sign language. There's more to it, but you get the idea. But from what you said, she ain't one, so no need to worry about it. I'm usually 100% fine if anybody wants to ask me anything about my Deafness as knowing is better than being clueless. I'm sure that your lady is the same but it's prob better to ask her if it's ok for you to ask her those stuff.
Laughter is always a good thing!
Hmm. I know that For Hearing People Only is a good book. A Journey Into the Deaf-World is a really good book about the Deaf culture. I don't really know of any real good book about ASL but the best way to learn is to actually sign with somebody fluent. Looks like you have that covered. ;)
