I called him Long Hair

By Leave a Comment

This beautiful 15-year young man which I call Theo. We met me when I went to El Salvador and became the director’s volunteer and advisor to the education department in the Special Education School in El Hospital Bloom. This young eager to learn. Figgitiy, dancing from one leg to another in harmonic rhythm, with hands up expressing his wanting long hair. How he would one day have long hair. Like a rock star.

I felt like a new kid going to the first-day school, I did not know what my role would be other than I knew my trade. A pared and shared with the students getting an idea of what their personalities were. I am of the Howard Gardner discipline, so trying to find out what they loved doing within the 12 intelligence. And I meet Theo and his aunt a young girl that would accompany him to the school and therapies he would have as an outpatient.

While in class on the 10th floor of the hospital, Theo confessed he was taking some very heavy drugs that would make him shake and tremble at night. And, I understood exactly what he was telling me. I get asking questions and immediately involved the director and the legion of psychologists that aided her in the classroom.

Immediately he was interviewed by a psychologist and doctors that deemed that the child was being overdosed in small quantities. It was immediately corrected.

Well, today I got a message that he still remembers the director and maul me. I was so happy that I decided to share this story with you.

“You might not remember me but I am Theo’s Aunt.” she goes on… My response was the name sounds familiar it is present in my mind. What grade was he? And then I said oh as if I recalled something: Yes it was the characteristic recalled from him “A Pelo Lago??”.

“Long hair.” She replied yes. That is how we knew him and I recall him.

She replied “siiiii ” ” se graduado”. The translation he graduated from special education high school.

According to him, he is doing well. Living in Los Angeles California. He became a resident. I was truly happy for him.

However, I don’t know if as he grows if he ever allowed to were his hair long at all. I don’t know if they gave him that pleasure.

Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world. Quite a few autism experts seem to think that he has not been confirmed regarding whether or not Gates falls on the autism spectrum. He does exhibit some common characters on the spectrum. He tends to rock back and forth when concentrating. short quick short and to the point, speech putting no emphasis on tone. And he doesn’t give eye contact while explaining whatever that might be…able to explain very complex math and science topics.

Do you know of some like that?

Are Your Dreams for Your Autistic Child is it Serving You or Them?

By Leave a Comment

Listen to Your Child’s Dreams for Himself By Lisa Jo Rudy

Medically reviewed by Joel Forman, MD Updated on February 06, 2020,

Most parents have very specific goals for their children—and even more specific goals for their children with autism. Often, those goals start with “I want my child to be happy.”

But a typical adult’s version of happiness may not have much to do with an autistic child’s interests, abilities, or desires. Why Parents Set Unrealistic Goals for Their Autistic Children Many parents of autistic children set short and long-term goals for their children without spending much time discussing the subject with their child.

This makes sense to a degree: children with autism may have a tough time envisioning or articulating specific ideas about what they want from life. Even teens or adults on the spectrum may have a hard time coming up with a clear vision of the future. And goal-making requires a degree of abstract thinking and executive planning that may be unreasonable to expect.

1 Problems arise, however, when parents fill in any blanks with their own visions of what is desirable, interesting, comfortable, or preferable. That’s because the hopes and dreams of a neurotypical adult are rarely the same as those of an autistic child, teen, or young adult.

2 In fact, parental goals are often created, not with their actual autistic child in mind, but with the hope (sometimes subconscious) that their autistic child will somehow morph into a typical adult. Many parents, in fact, hope and dream that their autistic child will change to the degree that she will fit into society’s norms and expectations. Common Goals Held By Parents of Autistic Children Many parents with autistic children express the desire to see their children happy.

3 Their definition of happiness may look something like this: “I want my child to have a nice group of friends.” “I want my child to live independently.” “I want my child to get married and have a family.” “I want my child to behave and think normally.” “I want my child to hold down a good job and advance in her career.” As you may have noticed, every one of the goals above—all of which are commonly expressed by parents of autistic children—are built around preferences and abilities that require strong social communication skills, solid executive planning skills, a preference for spending time in social groups, and quite a bit of personal ambition. They also assume a desire to find a permanent romantic partner and (ideally) produce offspring

.4 People with autism have many strengths, skills, interests, and desires. But because they are autistic, their strengths, skills, interests, or desires are not likely to revolve around social prestige or the desire to impress others. In fact, many people with autism actively prefer solitude to groups. Some people with autism do pair up, but many find intense intimacy to be overwhelming. What’s more, it’s a rare person with autism who is ambitious in the usual sense of wanting to impress and outdo his peers or parents.

Appropriate Goals for a Child With Autism So, what are the appropriate goals for a child with autism? As with everything else related to the autism spectrum, the answers will vary, and they will depend upon the strengths, interests, and desires of your individual child.

5 Here are some tips for getting started: Complex social goals, such as finding a romantic partner, may not be particularly important to your child. The reality is that relatively few people on the autism spectrum do marry, though many develop solid friendships. Few people with autism have strong executive functioning skills.

6 That means that it may never be possible for them to live completely independently. Of course, your child can improve her adaptive living skills, but it’s likely that she’ll need at least some support for planning, time management, bill paying, and other important tasks. Many people with autism have passionate interests that can become the foundation for hobbies or even careers.

7 It’s a good idea to keep your child’s interests in mind when thinking about goals. While it’s natural for parents to want their children to overcome or outgrow their autism, the reality is that autism is a lifelong diagnosis. Many people with autism develop strong skills in many areas, but they will still be autistic and will have at least some of the symptoms associated with the diagnosis.

8 People with autism are often happy in settings and situations that would be unpleasant for neurotypical people. Many people with autism, for example, value routine and sameness while many neurotypical people enjoy novelty.9 Many people with autism are content with basic jobs while their neurotypical peers long for greater challenges. These preferences are reasonable and should be considered when setting goals. Perhaps most importantly, as the parent of a child with a disability, you probably spend a great deal of time advocating for and thinking on behalf of your child.10 When it comes to setting goals, though, it’s your child’s strengths, interests, abilities, and preferences that should count the most.

  1. Auditory listen to the silence: be grateful you made to the next day: the smallest accomplishment celebrate it in your mind

Bloom Taxonomy

By Leave a Comment

In this case, I use Bloom Taxonomy to analyze, summarize, clarify and come up my own ideas…here goes.  You can do same.  

Using Bloom Taxonomy as to analyze the article and come with my reason to these finding and at the end always giving credit to their page; author’s point of view. .  I answer these points according to what I have learned and experience.  From my own paradigm. I came from parents that lived paycheck to paycheck when the worked for others.  But after had sold their services.  Mom was  Industrial seamstress, own business cleaning houses, then own her own sewing shop home base and missionary.  My dad an owner of a  barber and would train cocks to fight and win fights. He loved to read, pray, and his hobbies.
I was reading Linda Jones website on wealth. Loved.   I just focused on the points the author suggested we explore as to recognize a situation where I/one stands with wealth, before blogging about the topics as ways to find my “solutions of the problem why I /you/one; needs to improve in thinking big.  I need to have courage and faith in what I/you/one; believe(s) in; not just say it -but-taste it! One must demonstrate in actions; they speak louder than words.  Or need of more faith in what I/you one; believe you can achieve. “You got this”  Please “I know you.” These are solutions.   I am looking and blogging about tales, action and following my instinct; my dreams.  Never too late: age is just a number!  What is your Dream?  Write out and Start Walking towards.  Let me know how it goes.  Be thrilled you making a decision. Nice Job.

WHAT’S YOUR PLAN FOR FINANCIAL FREEDOM?

That a blog with some interesting make passive income and have fun on what writing about.  I’m a natural educator; inclusive so I have big challenges.  I have been told. I think I am regular.  But when I look back, “I ask myself way online business? And the answer is  the field of energy of volunteering and mentoring others on how to be “Great Blogger,” 

How I am learning to react to awesome information found online…  There we go I reviewed the article and have shared some my opinions-facts and reasons coming from my own paradigm: experience.  I love to hear yours please leave a comment in my mailbox.

Did you know: Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, Debbie Fields, Meg Whitman, Estee Lauder…what they did was THINK BIG when strategies their future.there are only 14 self-made women billionaires out of 1,100 on the planet. The research indicates that there are some obstacles  “holding women back when it comes o wealth women; money. Why?   “1. Some women operate in a SURVIVAL-TYPE MODE. Instead of thinking big and asking for more from the Universe, some think too small. Money cannot be manifested when we are coming from fear or thinking small because there is no confidence. Whether you think you will or think you won’t, you’re right! (Just like Napoleon Hill and Henry Ford said in Think and Grow Rich!) L.J.

Reply: You need to have a dream!  See yourself there.  Then work hard to see it done-accomplished.  You must complete what you
/one/I have started. 

  1. Or move on without regrets. 
  2. Be happy.  Be Brave at least.
  3. Do you doubt your work? 
  4. Especially starting blog. Yes, it’s natural.  That is why I read and
  5. do professional development every day. 
  6. My juice to even begin blogging.  I need food which information and these images I carry through the day positive ones with positive inspirational words used by the speaker. 
  7. that habit keeps me safe- doing- what I love.  Like I am doing now.  Go it.  Thank for asking.

I am soooo guilty of this.  Doubt myself so now.  I decided to heal myself.   And share my virtual world with you!  I tend to stop before the end due to the doubting.  I catch correct the thought and guess I keep and  I find the answer which a mililililil seconds, space away.  Yes.  But I have learned that it will come and you have to get out the comfort zone.  If you want; something different you have to act differently.  And look forward to your new transformation.   
Have no fear. I/you/one  welcome the transformation look forward to it.  And then I set a clock.  How to plan my day is an important step.

“Does this make sense ? Do you feel it? ”  This article has put me to reflect what tape of person am I when I spend?

I am minimalist. I love good clothing so I shop for brands at second hand etc…  What are you?  And yes, I can spend money.  I have had to learn to have self-control when spending.  Because as a child I was taught to contribute to the bigger part which was the needs  keeping a roof over our heads.  I had no habits.  So, I would give my paycheck to my family.  They would provide for me.  And they did.  I  have in abundance in material things but I have no money to say this mine.  Got it!  So what I have I spend it or give it to the house.
Open yourself to Good Karma about green energy and how not be afraid of wealth!  Think of three things you are thank for?  A.R. “Did you know China has 7 self-made women billionaires? When asked why they have more, the article said they THINK BIGGER! Being ambitious and setting high goals is key.” LJ
Reply:  Anthony Robbins: think of  the Mountain.  I say see yourself done…working backward. They did not have Technology or did they?  I know Martha S.  did not before all this new techno…
“2. Another problem that research has identified is that apparently, some women don’t know their worth. In a survey of men and women executives, men knew how much more of a raise to ask for, but the women didn’t. When asked why, the women responded, they didn’t know what they were worth! Wow! Now there’s an issue for us to explore and change, that will greatly impact their wealth. “

Reply: Women have had to fight for this right to equality.  And some families still keep the tradition women to the back- men to the front.  And these women themselves doing this.  Knowning your Self plays a big part of  muscle emotion and knowing ones worth as the article indicates.  Big! “3. Some women tell me they don’t feel worthy or deserving of wealth. I’m not sure why that is, but it could be tied to spiritual beliefs (believe you can’t be spiritual and rich) or their upbringing (nice girls don’t deal with money) or something else. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one!”

Reply:    I read and I learned from school books, reading books about humane struggles,  soap, novels, magazine, reading about how to improve oneself.  Yea, if you want wealth you have to dream and see yourself succeeding.  Talk about it. Breathe it. Taste.  The universe will change for you and open doors.  Find the equation that will give a steady money stream.  Is it a business that you have to start? Go back to school? Ask for that raise?  Do it, practice on the mirror “Look at yourself and transform.  We/I/You can do it. She concludes:  “When Martha Stewart or Debbie Fields made their fortunes, it was NOT from having some new technology like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. They baked cookies and cooked food, something almost everyone can do!”
“What was different? They took something basic and made it the best they could, then THOUGHT BIG, expanded and took it national and international. That’s it.
There was nothing that couldn’t have been done by you or me. It’s all how we approach money, what we BELIEVE is possible, and what action we take to make it happen!
This week, take action on something you’ve been thinking about but haven’t done anything about.
Even one small step like make a phone call, research an idea, or read a book about it. Do something to TAKE ACTION on your plan for financial freedom and above all else, BELIEVE you can have what you want! Now make it happen!” By Linda Jones

Summarized
Our habits and attitudes play a huge difference in how much green energy you going attract  So, lost of reading. Believing because that is the root of faith.  Faith and Hope on full drive.   Go out and walk, talk, dream and plan big.  Have self-worth, follow women-men or programs that teach how to value yourself in this world.   Find you a safe place and place big write it down makes it real: Now Walk the Talk.  Dream and think Big!
These ladies did it when there were no social media, they used National and International advertising and import and export mailing shopping and television-telephone-telegraph.  That was their big plan; marketing system.  We have a lot more now.  What is stopping us?  I/We/One.       I like to be the one that got it,  yes  I understood.  What about you, do get it? 
I am Emerald you are you_______________ ?       Leave a comment.

Please tell me if got this.  :  Is it making sense.?  
These products  I have research and have heard of.  I personally use meditation, it works.  My tale I passed CSET exam; multiple subject in California due to having some one put me a safe place see myself done.  You see I was high school drop out and went back to school as an adult to get to where I am at…  And did it because I did not want grow old bitter.
Any of these icons will take to a world of information thought you never you find:
