- For my assignment I’ve been looking for all types of materials that I can find, I haven’t limited it to just one type (at least not yet). I’ve found 1 experiment, and 2 articles that discuss the topic like Austin and Pissano did. As of right now I’m leaning more towards my topic being Neurodiversity just because I’d like to learn a lot more about it because I wasn’t aware of this term before this course. I also think that it’s very important to realize that neurologically diverse people are just as capable as everyone else. I think it would be very beneficial if I can come across an article that was written in the point of view of someone who is neurologically diverse as well as their coworkers just so we can see a first hand account of how it is in the workplace. So far I’ve used google scholar and i’ve been watching a few youtube videos to find information.
- In discussions of challenges that may arise when hiring neurodiverse employees, Austin and Pissano state that many people they have interviewed believe that there should be an emphasis on on the need to be sensitive to their stress. Similarly, Kaplan and Donovan contribute that it is very important to take time to find positive solutions because “a mismanaged event may not lead to a bigger crisis but rather to an unintended impact.
I think I did better on this They say /I say than the first time. I chose to use two they says so that I could connect both articles. Although Austin and Pissano is about Neurodiversity, I think the quote that I chose from the Intent and impact section of Kaplan and Donovan definitely applies the same because if the situation is not handled correctly it can make matters worse.
Oumou,
I have the same idea with wanting to focus on Neurodiversity and feel that there is not much awareness for it. I think that the idea that people who are neurologically diverse are just as capable as people who are not is completely true and very important when understanding neurologically diverse people and hiring them.
I love the idea of finding an article written in the point of view of someone who is neurologically diverse and think that will be extremely informational and interesting. I am excited to see what you find and what the author says!
Thank you!
Oumou,
I agree with Zoe, I think your unique take on Neurodiversity will be very successful and give the point of views that I feel are often missing. People who are neurologically diverse often lose their narrative, and maybe even analyzing how articles refer to neurologically diverse people vs. how the people themselves think would be very effective and get various messages across efficiently. Also, your usage of the “They Say/ I say” template was great! Your points were very clear- I envy that! Sometimes I can get too wordy when trying to get a point across but you were very straight to the point with your construction.
I hadn’t thought about making that comparison! Thank you for the idea. I definitely think that its easy to get really wordy with the they say/I say, I had to shorten mine a few times. I think it’s because I was just trying to overly explain when I could just use a simple sentence. Thank you 😁
Solid work with the TSIS construction here–you’re noting a similarity between articles that might otherwise appear divergent. Both are noting the need for deliberate, careful action. That’s key.
