What’s the purpose of research, if when you go to read it, it seems as if its in a foreign language? My assignments this week were from the Journal on Autism Spectrum and the DSM IV handbook. Maybe it’s me? But I keep rereading the paragraphs and feeling as though I’m not getting it.
While checking things out on google, I came across the readings I was assigned in “laymans” terms. Really, it said, article in “laymans language.” Now what I don’t understand is if the Professionals are writing papers of interest for others to learn from and/or work within their client populationtion, why aren’t they writing in language that can be understood by all? I’m sure there are parents out there who have autistic children and want to learn about the different techniques developed in working with this special population. How is a parent to understand? Must they rely on the Professionals to explain it? Wouldn’t it be nice to have parents come to a meeting prepared with questions after researching the different methods themselves? or maybe, I’m just reading the more complicated material…lol
It’s all so strange to me. This semester makes last semester look like disneyland. I’m still hoping to have fun and learn something new. Call me crazy!
