Well, there could be anywhere between eight or ten different reasons why a person is non compliant.
Any person.
If they're asked to do something they don't do it.
It could be they don't understand what you're saying.
It could be they've had negative experiences doing that before and it's stressful for them.
It could be they're just not interested in doing that.
There could be many different reasons.
So our attitude shapes the way we
try to come up with an explanation as to why a student may be challenging, which leads to very, very different approaches.
And it's interesting, a a a dear friend of mine who's been one of the leaders in the Asperger's movement, Michael John Carley, um, and he's written a few books and he's founded
Uh an international organization called GRASP.
Um, I quote Michael in the book a number of times, and um one of my favorite quotes from Michael is.
If you want an autistic person to change, the best way to facilitate that positive change is to change what you are doing, is to change your attitudes and change your beliefs.
But I think
Too often we look at autistic people and describe any problems we see as kind of willful non cooperation.
Or laziness or whatever as opposed to saying, What are we doing wrong?
Can we teach this differently?
Can we even use language differently, simplify our language?
Maybe if a child is very hypersensitive to the word no, because they associate that with a stressful circumstance, we can guide a child and even correct the child without using the word no, if that's a trigger for that child.
Certainly everything from our facial expression to our tone of voice to do we use visual supports to help a child who has limited understanding of language?
