Wed, 10 Dec 2008 12:33:01 -0500

“Patient acceptance not only helps us, it also helps those with whom we are patient. Being accepted feels very different to being judged. When someone feels judged they automatically become tight and defensive, but when they feel accepted they can relax, and this allows their good qualities to come to the surface. Patience always solves our inner problems, but often it solves problems between people as well.”

“Accepting Others Once we fully accept other people as they are without the slightest judgement or reservation – as all the enlightened beings accept us – then there is no basis for problems in our relations with others. Problems do not exist outside our mind, so when we stop seeing other people as problems they stop being problems. The person who is a problem to a non-accepting mind does not exist in the calm, clear space of patient acceptance”

“If there is a way to remedy an unpleasant, difficult situation, what point is there in being unhappy? On the other hand, if it is completely impossible to remedy the situation or to fulfil our wishes, there is also no reason to get upset, for how will our becoming unhappy help? This line of reasoning is very useful, for we can apply it to any situation.”

“very important to actually get to the end of something before you even think about starting over. I don’t know how many things in life get stuck in the middle of nowhere because half-way through someone decides to start over from scratch. I feel it’s much better to end and close something completely and then, only if you have to, start all over again from the beginning.”

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:27:38 -0500

“What is anger? Anger is a deluded mind that focuses on an animate or inanimate object, feels it to be unattractive, exaggerates its bad qualities, and wishes to harm it. For example, when we are angry with our partner, at that moment he or she appears to us as unattractive or unpleasant. We then exaggerate his bad qualities by focusing only on those aspects that irritate us and ignoring all his good qualities and kindness, until we have built up a mental image of an intrinsically faulty person. We then wish to harm him in some way, probably by criticizing or disparaging him.”

"Collect everything, indiscriminately If you’re young, know nothing, and are trying to..."

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:03:59 -0500

“Collect everything, indiscriminately If you’re young, know nothing, and are trying to understand the world, here’s some good advice: Only Collect; that is to say, collect everything, indiscriminately. You’re five years old. Don’t presume too much to know what’s important and what isn’t. Photocopy journal articles, photograph archives; create bibliographies, buy books; make notes on every article or book you read, even if it’s just one line saying “Never read this again”; collect newspaper clippings and email them to yourself; collect quotes; save your ideas for future papers, future projects, future conferences, even if they seem wildly implausible now. Hoarding must become instinctual, it must be an uncontrollable, primal urge. And the higher, civilizing impulse that kicks in after the fact is organization, or librarianship. You must keep tabs on everything you collect, somehow; a system must be had, and the system must be idiot-proof (that is to say, you should be able to look back on it six months for now and not be completely stymied as to why you’ve organized things that way — the present versions of ourselves are invariably the biggest idiots, and six months will make that clear). An alternate and equally useful approach is just to start doing things without regard to their quality. Make 1000 mistakes but try not to repeat them.”

“Deschooling Most experts seem to feel that the beginning of home schooling for a child with an ASD is to “deschool”. The technical definition of this would be for your child to ‘unlearn’ all the negative socialization experiences he had had in school. Many home schooling veterans point to this as a time for you to observe your child and for your child to really explore areas that interest him. Learning must again become fun. 2. Keep a journal You might want to consider taking notes at this time. What helps your child focus? What are his favorite things and what is he doing when happiest? Where does he excel? 3. Contacts While deschooling, contact local organizations, and support groups. Try to make contact with other parents who understand both autism and home schooling. 4. Read books beyond autism! Many people have sited this an a very helpful and important step. A few favorites are: The 7 Kinds of Smart, and The Way They Learn 5. Ditch your preconceptions Try to approach the process with an open mind. Think about your end goal and then work backwards: What will get you to your end goal with your child? It is likely to look different than traditional schooling would be and that’s just fine! 6. Determine where your child is on checklists and evaluations. Set a goal and then work towards that goal. On the other hand…ditch the checklist if it is too frustrating. In states where there is a lot of paperwork, you can document your child’s progress towards the goal and why you stopped pursuing it.”
