My understanding of it has depend since i already knew that. It shows how they are any less valuable than any of us just because they think differently.

i thought it was amazing how all of that translated into a whole bunch of words communicating with us

I live with someone who has a form of autism so I've always understood the basics, but have only been familiar with the less 'visible' or noticable portion of it. I appreciated hearing more about how autistic minds function

I do believe that learning more in depth about autism as a whole has really helped me have a better perception of it. When I would hear about autism  it honestly wouldn´t be very positive thoughts because that was all I knew.  Yet, now knowing the beauty within it as well as the strength it has definitely changed my view on it, for the better.

My view of Autistic people has grown due to how he has shown us How way of interacting with other people and his surroundings. He gave us examples such as: smelling his hand, spinning a spinner in his ear to hear.

since watching the video i now know there is a difference of a language of autism. and a communication.

I already have known people who have been autistic but I feel like I know a lot more now.

my view about autism has never change because i live with some one who has a form of autism but it has gave me a new understanding of people with autism but also i would like to thank ms berrios and ms cavion for coming up with this lesson and shining a light on this topic and making people understand that these special needs people are just like us normal people

Because of her experiences, my mother has taught me a lot about autism over the last two years. However, I believe I have gained a better understanding of how they interact as well as the background of neurodiversity.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that perception and understanding of statements like the start of the class (they hate or fear us) has changed on my part.  The thought I always had was if they had some form of autism, that it would be hard to live like us.  Now I understand that it's not immediately hard to live like us for them, it's different for them.  They are not us and we should not expect them to act like us.

# data[].attributes.body
It provides me a  better understanding. I understand how many of them communicate through body language and due to this they are seen as strange or unusual when they are the same as everyone else

# data[].attributes.body
People with autism use a lot of non verbal communication to express the way their feeling whether that be hand gestures, pictures, drawings, crying, or directing someone to what they want.

# data[].attributes.body
my view has not really changed i just feel i have a deeper understanding of peoples individual languages, how they are different for every person and how it can be shown in many different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand that people with autism have their own language and sometimes struggle because other see it as unusual

# data[].attributes.body
my view hasn't really changed but rather my understanding has deepened. its so crucial that neurotypical people understand that there are many other ways to communicate that aren't verbally, and that just because some people do not communicate in a way that is perceived as "normal" doesnt make them any less intelligent, or aware, or whatever it is that people think.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned the ways to communicate as a person with autism and how with the interpretation of how Mel communicates I can relate more of an understanding of how we are similar in communication.

As I've grown older in recent years, I've also become more understanding of others and their situation even if I myself haven't experienced it. My view on autism has changed from "Stay away from them" to "They just can't help it, it's just who they are."

Watching the video has made me more educated on how autistic people view things on their own language and communicate with it. Not a lot of people try to learn their language and simply ignore it.

Now I see why some people can talk very loudly but not verbally. This does not make them any less of a human, and it should not be interpreted that way.

Sometimes people autism will have trouble communicating. It can be frustrating at first but we still try to find out what they are saying by their body language or the person can communicate with us with a device

My view on autism and autistic hasn’t much changed just because I have a cousin who suffers from autism and I am so close to him to the point where I try my best to understand him and make him feel loved. Especially since I know most people might of thought that it’s weird and disturbing but it’s not because we’re all human and the fact that most people don’t understand what they go through.

# data[].attributes.body
I´ve become more educated on autism after watching the video. I am now more aware of how certain people with autism may speak and communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how autistic people have their own language that deserves equal recognition as our language.

# data[].attributes.body
After seeing the video, my view on people with autism has not changed although I used to feel really bad for not being able to understand them when they would try to speak with me. Now, I don't feel too bad because there are people who don't care to even try to understand them, but I'm glad I am someone who tries my best.

# data[].attributes.body
I always knew that autistic people had a different perspective of communicating and having different forms of self expression. I have close friends who are autistic and and convey their feelings through visual representation, music, and text.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned is how they communicate to different objects, sounds, senses. Its really important to know, I feel like I didn't have a good understanding and from this we know the deeper meaning and have a better understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
It has not necessarily changed, I just have a deeper understanding of the various ways the disabled community may communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that communication doesn’t just come from words and speaking. It can be shown through actions as well.

I understand now how some people can speak very loudly, but not verbally. This doesn't make them any less of a person, and people should not view it as such.

I feel I've been able to learn many new things about how autistic people might communicate or different ways/things they use to feel safe, heard, or understood. Which has definitely allowed me to have a much better understanding for them. Ways they communicate are often looked over because they're "confusing" to us or sometimes we just don't think they're saying anything at all. But my eyes have been opened to look deeper than what I might be used to comfortable with.

# data[].attributes.body
My view hasn't really changed over the course of this unit because i've always been open minded when it comes to autistic people. I would say I have become even more sympathetic along the way with the videos we have watched in class that showed what the world was like from their eyes. Especially, "In My Language", brought up obstacles for them that I never considered.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I feel more comfortable with the idea of finding another way to communicate with people with disabilities. I also learn that there is always a deeper meaning to what other communicate to you. That is what Mel was saying. There other ways of communicating, it isn't always speaking or talking

# data[].attributes.body
I feel more educated in the way that  I have learned that there are many other ways to communicate that are non-verbal. People with autism utilize their senses and their own form of communication and we shouldn't simply disregard it. Instead, we should make an effort to understand and connect. I noticed that someone else used the term "alienated", and I definitely agree with the fact that members of the spectrum are alienated in a way where they are deemed as socially problematic so no one is willing to put in the effort to understand them.

# data[].attributes.headline
I learned that communication can be vary person to person and just as equally more often times than not they look, talk, and can act just like you and I

I learned more about how they communicate weather that be through touch, sound, feeling, taste, looking or something else.

# data[].attributes.body
i learned they communicate in diffeRent ways

# data[].attributes.body
I can't say there is much new information that I have learned that is new information, being that I am autistic. I find this unit to be extremely validating however, and seeing how my peers have been taking in this information and adapting and being extremely kind has at least made me learn that the environment related to autism is improving

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve learned that people with autism communicate in a totally different way than people generally assume, and that they communicate with the things around them with taste, touch, and smell. I’ve also learned that they feel alienated from society because of how they are deemed uncommunicative because they don’t speak by the ‘norm’

# data[].attributes.body
i learned that they communicate in different ways

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there are many different non-verbal ways to communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
What i learned is a bit more how people with autism especially who are non-verbal is how they communicate and how they think. Though they do not speak with words they do speak in their own way, they have full conversations with items and people in their own way, they're curious and want to learn all about it. The way they communicate is through sounds and motion.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I learned after this unit is that they communicate by touch, sound, taste, and smell. Not just that, but they incorporate music as well.

# data[].attributes.body
After learning more about autism, I learned that you have to be patient with the. They are the same as us. They just communicate in different ways such as hand motions, typing it out, and body language.

# data[].attributes.body
i was very uneducated on this subject, but after this lesson i know some more about communication with everyone, whether it be through the use of language or other ways

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that I didn´t learn much I have a lot of Friends and family that have autism I just reheard a lot of already known information

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about they ways they communicate and show they can still communicate with us

Something i learned was way they try to interact and communicate with us, Ways that they do there communication

Not everyone with autism is the same. Each individual with autism is different in the way they act, communicate, feel, and think. They have feelings and thoughts just like us but communicate them differently.
