Hi! This is my belated post for last week because I forgot to do one over the weekend 🙂
After the DEI conference, I have been getting back into reading my research books! I finished Chapter 7 in We’re Not Broken last weekend and this Week 4 I read two chapters of another book that Ms. Rogers kindly lent to me called Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Understanding Life Experiences from Childhood to Old Age. It has been a pretty quick read so far, and I’ve noticed that a lot of my research lately has seemed a little repetitive, which is good since it indicates that I have gathered a good basis of knowledge on this subject! However, it still has been fascinating and important to me to learn this information in several different ways from several different perspectives, because that has sort of given me a glimpse of a new facet of a certain fact or event and its implications that I may not have considered without being introduced to that point of view.
I have had a great time reading through these books and look forward to trying to finish as much of them as I can before I move on to the next phase of my study in March where I look specifically at autism and schools in order to provide my faculty audience in May with solutions to move forward with and maybe attempt implementing at our school to help neurodivergent individuals.
That’s all—see you next week!
There is definitely something reassuring about recognizing literature and research you’ve already learned. For me, it takes away a wee bit of the overwhelm!
