Hidden Disabilities This presentation was about the different mental disabilities that many people struggle with. I really like this idea since we cannot truly underst and what these people go through, so the best we can do is research about mental disabilities. The different hidden disabilities assigned were Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and OCD.   We were assigned autism, or autism spectrum disorder.   We separated the work and created groups of two or three. The different parts were research around autism, the history behind this disability, the United States vs the world, interviews, and finally the different organization helping autistic people.   My small group was assigned research behind ASD. I was in charge of the different types of autism, Jenifer was taking care of the nonverbal aspect of autism, and Camilo was working on the research done today and the past on this disability. I really enjoyed working with them. We had great communication and unders...

 About The Themed Presentation The recent assignment required us to study and discuss various issues that some people face. My group, Group #2, focused on the Autism Spectrum. Our presentation went smoothly, with everyone staying on topic and providing comprehensive information on their respective sections. Each group member diligently researched and presented their part, ensuring a cohesive and informative session that highlighted the key aspects of autism, its challenges, and the progress made in understanding and supporting those on the spectrum. I believe the highlight of our presentation was the interviews with individuals with autism. These interviews offered valuable insights into their experiences and perspectives, shedding light on the diverse ways autism manifests and affects daily life. The firsthand accounts helped to humanize the statistics and theories, bringing a personal touch to our discussion. I am reminded of a friend from high school who was diagnosed with autis...

- Jenifer Madrid  REFLECTION ON AUTISM Today, I reflect on autism, a topic that has touched many lives worldwide and given me a deeper understanding. I think that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is more than a diagnosis; it's a unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world. This reflection serves as a personal exploration of what autism means and its impact on our society.  When I think about autism, I think of the many people I have encountered in my life, each with their own strengths and challenges. Autism is not a one-size-fits-all condition; it is different for anyone with this condition. Some people I have seen on social media are non-verbal but communicate profoundly through art or technology. Others have incredible talents in specific areas, such as music or mathematics, while facing difficulties in social interactions. One particular childhood experience I remember was meeting a middle school boy with autism. I still remember his fascination with math; it w...

       Communication -  Gian M. Rolando                                                               Communication and its Nature      Communication comes as part of our society through the way we talk and how we appear both  verbally and physically  to others. Communication is a  difficult thing  to learn for some  of  us  and  especially people  with  Autism or any  other mental disorders. As time goes on and people study autism and social cues more, we as a  species  learn to  connect to  each other even if its hard for people to do. With communicating  there's multiple ways to  communicate and talk to one another explained by Barbara:  Communication  Processes, ...
