THE ARTISTIC AUTISTS: CELEBRATING PEOPLE LIVING WITH AUTISM

Autism is a disorder of neural development in which there is observable impairment in social interaction, both verbal and non-verbal communication and also by repetitive and stereotypical actions.
This disorder affects the way in which information is processed in the brain especially by altering the connection between nerve cells and their synapses. It is usually noticed in children at about 3 years of age.
Although unconfirmed, there are speculations that the repetitive, stereotypical behavior of a person who lives with autism can be beneficial in the sense that these people would not get tired if for example, they have to stack a pile of newspapers, or if they have to draw something on paper that requires repetitive movements. The thing is that they would be able to perform actions that require so much focus with ease. If autistic children and adults are encouraged to toe this path, it could bring about a previously unseen rise in intricate creativity.
I look forward to such a day when I’d see someone with an autistic spectrum disease do something that’s magnanimously creative.

Until then, I say to those living with autism that you are indeed special beings, and the world is definitely not enough to contain the creativity you possess. Take the world by surprise!

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.
