How Asking Works
- You E-mail me with a question about autism, temperament theory, playing the flute, disability in general, the Christian faith, or any combination thereof. Use "Ask FlutistPride" as the subject line.
- I reply as soon as I can with an answer crafted to the best of my abilities. If I cannot answer your question, I will decline to write a post about it.
- Remember that I am not a counselor, a therapist, a doctor, or any other professional. My knowledge is intended to supplement, not replace, what professionals say. If I completely turn what the professionals say on its head, use your discernment. Professionals are fallible.
- I will not always respond immediately. Keep in mind that I might be doing my homework or getting distracted by something else.
- All comment policies apply in the asking system.
- Your question must be somewhat concise. If you need to extrapolate in order for me to understand the full picture, do so. However, I will not waste my time with a 1000 word essay.
- Do not send personal information other than first names. You are welcome (encouraged, actually) to use aliases for yourself and others.
- I will not respond to spam or personal attacks publicly.
- You may only attach these types of files in your asks:
- Videos
- Images with the .png format and screenshots
- Word and Google documents
- PDFs
- This is to protect myself from viruses and malware. I will not institute any rule that I do not see as logical and fair.
- When you send me your content, you give me consent to publish, reproduce, and share it through any means with anyone.
- If you inform me that my (or a commenter's) answer worked or did not work, I will post with an update.
Hi, flutistpride...my name is Judith and I'm working on a book about autism based on a New York Times story I did about my son called "To Siri With Love". I was wondering if you could explain to me the role of repetition in your life. I reach on another site that you said you wrote an 'echocholiac blog' and I wondered what you meant. all best -- Judith
ReplyDeleteps, sorry, forgot to add that my email is judithn111@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteNot a question but a comment.
ReplyDeleteThe 4096-character limit when it comes to links is very challenging as I saw on the 21st April 2016 responding to "Why Passing for Normal was so Important".
Could you make a list of links that you found helpful in various topics/subjects and can we add to this list?
[I was able to pare it down but it was very challenging! Had lots of Human Rights Charters from around the world:
European Social Charter - and of course the Autism Europe Charter of Rights in 1996
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Victorian Charter of Rights and Responsibilities 2006
New Zealand Human Rights Commission
And I mentioned the Sumlins - was wondering how far to go and quote lest I violate the recovery policy in letter and/or in spirit. The links which are relevant are Social Stories; Teach me to Play; Teaching and Learning; Sumlin's Mistakes and Brookline. This is good historical information 1998-2001.
Also a relevant point might be the Alberta Curriculum and the work of Michelle Dawson especially THE MISBEHAVIOUR OF BEHAVIOURISTS.
Ah - what to write in/on a blog and what to comment on - requires razor sharp focus!
Technical concern:
ReplyDeleteWHY does the blog go into Speedtest.in when I click on a certain place?
It has been affecting my enjoyment of the translyrics of TERMINATE THE WORLD.
I have no idea. It doesn't do that on my computer as far as I know. Where are you clicking?
DeleteWhere am I clicking, FlutistPride?
DeleteProbably somewhere where the speedtest.in is targeted/logged?
And it also seemed to be a timing matter.
I had not the presence of mind to go into Developer mode and check the HTML and the scripts - it acted much too quickly for that.
More importantly I could not get back.
Somewhere above or below the main blog part? Mostly below...
I know we describe these things as x and y in the co-ordinates.
I did a deletion of all widgets. Are you still experiencing this problem?
DeleteNot now!
DeleteThe blog runs faster than ever.
However - I had an unrelated problem where I could not comment for 2 days and reply.
The pulldown menu for profiles and accounts was empty! And it said "Please fill in your profile".
May have been a cache difficulty.
