dieting. D4) The organizational framework that I feel applies to the Autistic Rights Movement is the activism sociality framework in the NAAFA.
The NAAFA goal is to “Organize against size discrimination” (Martin: 90). According to the reading dealing with Autistic Rights, some of their goals is to “Challenge the ethics and science of interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and psychiatric hospitals.” The Autism rights movement also want rights and equality for autistic adults especially in employment and education. The NAAFA approach to shame was “societal transformation” (Martin: 90). According to the reading dealing with Autistic Rights, how they approach criticisms of the autistic rights is by telling how they feel and by giving examples of how Autistic adults are functioning. This is a movement about autistic adults who feel Autism is not a disorder nor disease. It is a part of their lives. Autistic deals with the neurocognitive section of the brain. According to the reading the people of this movement feel that finding a cure to Autism “Would destroy the original personality of the autistic person in a misguided attempt to replace them with a different (neuro-typical) person.” Another movement is for Autism is Aspies For Freedom. The people in these groups feel no shame about their condition and they want other members of society to understand
that.
One researcher, J. P. Grump, found that the most profound shame results from the destruction of your subjectivity when ‘what you need, what you desire, and what you feel are of complete and utter insignificance.
Shame and guilt are often used interchangeably as they are often perceived to be the same or eerily similar. Yet shame is more associated with feelings of poor personal character and guilt is associated with what a person’s character does. Studies have shown that shame rather than guilt is a significant risk factor for the onset and maintenance of mental health difficulties and it has been further theorized that guilt is actually an adaptive response in which movement from shame to guilt represents a stage of mental health recovery (Dyer, et al., 2017). Though shame over particular events in the moment are not uncommon due to humanities imperfect nature, the problem resides in lack of shame resolution. May (2007) exemplifies this in that the

“Neurotypical” is an interesting PBS documentary directed by Adam Larsen. It shares stories of different individuals who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Neurotypical according to the film is “a term used to describe non-autistics by autistics.” Four of the people who we get to know more about are; Alan Wolf, Violet, Nicholas, and Paula. In the film Wolf discusses that he does not want to be “normal” instead he is happy with who he already is. Violet who is 4 years old has a hard time trying to talk. Paula a mother and wife, was just recently diagnosed of ASD. Nicholas, a young teen is unable to relate to girls. In the documentary he said “I just think different than everyone else.” He is also aware that it takes time for
In the piece Shame on You by Paul A. Trout, he discusses the value and disrespect involved in shaming and how this has changed our academia values in our current society. In this work, he both discusses how shame has changed the interactions between professor and students and also the backlash if a teacher goes too far in their shaming.

The social model is favored by most disability activists over the medical model, which views disability as individual defects. While the social model is in many ways more helpful and empowering for disabled people than the medical model, claiming that autism is only a socially constructed category and thus that historical figures cannot be viewed as autistic denies the distinctive ways in which autistic people experience and interact with the world. Fundamental neurological differences can be recognized and accepted without viewing these differences as a deficit. Like in many situations, the practice of diagnosing historical figures as autistic should be examined with a mix of the medical and social models. The social model informs the way that historical figures are identified as autistic and their experiences as autistic people is recognized as different from the experiences of autistic people today, while the medical model describes the similarity between people who, while they are differently disabled because they live or lived in different societies, share the same neurological condition. Rather than being "abandoned," the practice of labeling historical
There will be places, people, or other things in life that has more meaning to someone to symbolize something else. In the essay “Shame,” Gregory writes “Everybody’s got a Helene Tucker, a symbol of everything you want.” On December 2nd, 1998, that was the day that I met my Helene Tucker. My Helene Tucker or symbol is my mother who represents the hard working, loving, and the most caring people there are. My mother comes to symbolize everything a person would want to be.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that effects the brains development. It is characterized by affecting communication, cognition and social interaction. The spectrum of the disorders ranges from a mild condition called Asperger’s syndrome to a more severe form, which severely impairer’s development. The Office of Communications and Public Liaison states that the disorder affects one and eighty-eight children, however ASD effects boys more frequently than girls (Office of Communications and Public Liaison, 2013). ASD emerges in all age, ethnic and socioeconomic groups. The significant varied character and severity of the disorder is why ASD is considered a spectrum that poses a broad range of symptoms.
What does the word shame mean? According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary shame is defined as “a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior”. Shame for the Indian boarding students and me is physical pain. To the speaker of “Daddy”, shame is an internal hatred. Finally, shame to Marji in “Persepolis” is knowing your position with a sad or angry attitude.
Shame is like a dark shadow that follows us around, making us second guess what we are about to do, and always something we refuse to talk about. As Brown puts it, shame “derives its power from being unspeakable.” If we recognize our shame and speak about it, it’s like shining a flashlight on it; it dies. This is why vulnerability and shame go hand in hand. We must embrace our vulnerability in order to talk about shame, and once we talk about shame and release ourselves from its bonds, we can fully feel vulnerable and use that vulnerability to find courage and dare greatly. In order to reach this level of wholeheartedness, we must “mind the gap,” as Brown says, between where we are and where we want to end up. We must be conscious of our practiced values and the space between those and our aspirational values, what Brown calls the “disengagement divide.” We have to keep our aspirations achievable, or disengagement is inevitable. Minding this gap is quite a daring strategy, and one that requires us to embrace our own vulnerability as well as cultivate shame resilience. Accomplishing our goals is not impossible if we simply cultivate the courage to dare to take action. We can’t let this culture of “never enough” get in our way, and we have to use our vulnerability and shame resilience to take that step over the
Shaming is a very effective tool but it can produce dangerous and undesirable results, and therefore should not be used commonly in our modern developed society, although it may still apply in some situations.
Shame is one of the biggest feelings that individuals with eating disorders have. They place shame on themselves and their bodies. When others are to make this worse, the result is very difficult to handle. Take for example an individual with Bulimia Nervosa who is disgusted with their own body. It is hard for this person to accept that they need help. Eventually, the individual decides to admit themselves to the hospital. When the individual returns to school, others are placing shaming for the way they look and how much smaller they are. How is this individual supposed to react to this? They were already ashamed with themselves and then someone had to point out what they were thinking. Mary Duffy and Kristen Henkel, members of the department of psychology at University of Saint Joseph, “reductions in shame have been associated with better outcomes in eating disorder treatment” (162) When individuals with eating disorders are treated to reduce the shame that they are feeling, it will be easier for them to change their
One particular human emotion can cripple humans mentally and physically. It can cause people to do things they do not want to do. It can lead them to twist the truth and lie not only to themselves, but people around them as well. It is something that they cannot hide. It is more like a disease, however, it is better known as guilt. Along with guilt, comes dishonesty, shamefulness, peculiar behavior, and even suicidal thoughts. Guilt is a recurring theme in both Robertson Davies’ Fifth Business and William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Every individual will experience guilt sometime in their life, but it is how they cope and handle it that defines who they are. Humans must face the feeling of guilt, accept
...to grow and increase yearly, one can imagine the effect on society these rates already have, and can possibly have with continued growth. It will not be long before autism becomes the normal society. That is a concern will should all share as creatures of earth. All families that are faced with autism will find happiness with the life shared with an autistic individual. Sadly, these individuals face bullying, and social rejection. They deal with health care rejections, and limited services available into adulthood. A future unknown. Although these individuals are different, that doesn’t mean they are less. As humanity, we need to treat everyone as an equal part of this important reality we call existence. Autistic individuals are the quietest souls, but that may only be because we haven’t learned to pay attention. Autism speaks, so isn’t it time to listen (htt1)?
