Study Notes
Social Model of Disability
- Emphasizes societal barriers rather than individual impairments as causes of disability.
- Established principles in 1975 and guided by the 1983 publication "Social Work with Disabled People."
- Contrasts with the Medical Model that views disability as a deficit or pathology.
Neurodiversity Paradigm
- Coined in the 1990s, advocating for neurodiversity as a natural aspect of human diversity.
- Promoted by Judy Singer's 1999 work "Why can't you be normal."
- Suggests that perceived 'normal' brain functions are culturally constructed rather than absolute standards.
Common Goals
- Networking between Neurodiversity and Medical Paradigms focuses on balancing treatment and acceptance.
- Highlights the need to minimize harm and avoid pathologizing differences.
- Suggests some neurocognitive conditions might benefit from treatment but emphasizes a pragmatic approach.
Case Study: Autism
- Described as an intrinsic part of existence, influencing thoughts, perceptions, and experiences.
- Perspectives on autism incorporate varying language preferences, notably Person-First Language (e.g., "person with autism") versus Identity-First Language (e.g., "autistic person").
- Demonstrates that language choice can reflect self-identity and social perception.
Language Preference
- Studies measure preferences for various terms related to autism on a scale of dislike to like.
- Terms evaluated include "on the autism spectrum" and "autistic person," with varying preferences across individuals.
Social Camouflaging
- Autistic individuals may use strategies like Compensation (adjusting behavior), Masking (hiding characteristics), and Assimilation (fitting in socially).
- These strategies can impact well-being and self-perception.
Measuring Camouflaging
- Involves rating agreement on personal experiences with Compensation, Masking, and Assimilation.
- Examples include mimicking body language during interactions or forcing oneself to engage socially.
Self-Esteem
- Attitude Towards Autism (ATA) questionnaire explores feelings about autism and self-worth.
- Autistic individuals can have diverse perceptions, viewing autism as an advantage or a gift, impacting their overall self-esteem.
- The comparison between disorder and neurodiversity perspectives reveals differing attitudes toward autism and self-identity.
