| Publisher Description: The author Helena Eastwood has been working with positive insights and integrating them into possible causes and ways of working successfully with autistic people since she began teaching in a special school after completing her mainstream education. Her book Where Are You on the Autism Spectrum? briefly presents her current understanding of autism and how it may be relevant to us all. If we can gain an understanding of the autism spectrum, we may be able to scaffold the areas of interactive development that support well-being, positive behavior, and holistic development. The industrial revolution brought mass production of identical items, and now society seems to have replicated this into the manufacturing of predictable responses for mass-produced toys and associated repetitive and predictable human behavior. This can be seen alongside a more dominant lifestyle of socially conforming media entertainment and an ever-growing academic style of education. Our passive Western lifestyle appears to develop alongside an ever-growing amount of compulsive repetitive behavior Thus, our human potential of genuine creativity and social interaction has been squashed into predetermined molds structured by industrial activity, media entertainment, and mass media communication systems. |
