Abstract

This article describes a cooperative venture by an autistic individual and a visual artist to articulate autistic dysfluency, using the medium of a short film. This employs a first-person narrative supported by collage and computer-generated imagery to depict an example of failed communication as experienced through the eyes of an autistic pupil. The combination of visuals and audio aids in depicting the autistic individual's consciousness whilst in a challenging classroom situation. Articulating the dysfluency experienced by the individual required the finding of ways to overcome that dysfluency, and it is this process that is explored in this paper. The potential for the film to be used to facilitate teacher understanding and teacher/pupil communication is also discussed.

摘要

本文介绍了由自闭症患者和视觉艺术家通过短片媒介进行合作，以阐明自闭症的不良反应。这采用了由拼贴和计算机生成的图像支持的第一人称叙事，以描绘通过自闭症学生的眼睛经历的沟通失败的示例。视觉和听觉的结合有助于在充满挑战的课堂环境中描绘自闭症患者的意识。阐明个人经历的不适应症需要找到克服该不适应症的方法，而本文正是探讨了这一过程。还讨论了将影片用于促进老师理解和老师/学生沟通的潜力。
