Home visits are a typical part of research studies especially when it involves the developmental stages of children. Recently, when entering a participant’s home and preparing to perform the Bayley’s Scales of Infant Development, it is obvious the participant (a thirty month old child) was not interested in the visitors whom just entered her home. However, it is apparent that the child is intrigued by the toys being unpacked and quickly zero-in’s on small red blocks (just big enough to fit…

I aimed to explain what autism is and the effects it has on people diagnosed with it and…

This past weekend I took the opportunity by going to a play near me in Iowa City called Dancing Lessons. This play was shown at the Riverside Theatre. I’ve been to this theatre before, seeing Line of Descent when my teacher was one of the main roles. The first time I went to this theatre, I actually really enjoyed the feel of the theatre on how small it was. It had a good vibe for me right away, so I was excited to go back. When I first heard about this play, I didn’t think it was an actual show…

Autistic Spectrum Disorder Autism or, as it is currently called autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a disorder that has long been stereotyped by extremely repetitive, unusual behavior such as characterized by Dustin Hoffman in the film Rain Man. From this point on pop culture continued to portray autistic characters in a harsh light. It is sort of like defining a modern religion based off historical documentation from the 16th century. It is very rare to find someone with autism spectrum…
