Coromon slytherin5/22/2023 How she read the entire curriculum of Hogwarts before even setting foot on its grounds and how she can recall the information with great ease. Hermoine has no female friends and look at her determination to make the world a better place for the house-elves. His wand is the only one I possess in my own Harry Potter collection (and I am actually a proud Slytherin because of him).įemale examples? Sure. Snape for me isthe quintessential Autie, and how he lost his friendship with Lily ( by blurting out something inappropriate, was gifted in potions up to the extend that he was better than the writer of the book he was meant to study, but he still stayed loyal to Lily Potter in such a way that he lied and cheated to the world’s most powerfull wizard. My favorite character in the book is Snape, and by linking the character to autism, I felt a renewed connection to him. You get now why Harry Potter gets so enraged. Giving up some crazy theories, without actually knowing anything about autism. Dursleys sister, the one with the dogs (forgot her name), you can see as a quack. Look in the movies how movie-petunia recalls it. You can see how Petunia feels about being a wizard when she recalls the story of her sister and her parents joy over it, that she is a wizard (autistic). Dudley, not knowing any better, bullied him together with his friends. They tried to make him more “normal” by cutting his hair. Despising harry most of his life, because of them knowing he’s a wizard (autistic). Look at how difficult we have it, with you in our living room. These are the parents that claim the label autism for themselves, to make them martyrs. His aunt and uncle are what we call autism-parents. His aunt and uncle… completely different story. It would’ve been a reason for joy, and as you can see, by the flashbacks in the books: Harry was greatly loved by his family. The reactions of his wizard-birth-parents would’ve been one of joy. Some (like me) even celebrate our diagnose like a second birthday. For most of us, it’s a reason to celebrate (as it is a part of our identity that finally falls into place), so cake is something that is in place. You also get the reaction of the parents (both his dead parents and his uncle and aunt, and nephew). Being able to be “normal” in a different world, where all of your traits are not seen as something weird, but seen as something completely normal. This is how the autistic world feels for us, having to have lived so many years in the neurotypical world, the autistic world for us feels like home. Harry even likens Hogwarts as coming home, the wizarding world is his home. Suddenly everything starts to fall in place. Suddenly, all the puzzle-pieces start to click. This could be autistic traits by a psychologist, and tell you: you have autism. Asking you if you ever made some weird things happen all by itself, without you being able to explain it. I was diagnosed when I was 29, for example, some are even diagnosed now in their sixties or seventies (some even older, although rare).Ī diagnose for us feels like Hagrid coming through the door and telling you, you are a wizard. Childrens diagnoses are only a fraction of us, whom are diagnosed later in life. Wait! Don’t try to cast a spell on me yet. What if Harry Potter could be used to explain autism? What if you could use a children’s bookseries, not related to autism at all, to explain a lot of autism? I have done some thinking and send it to an autism expert, whom thought it was a great idea (he’s a fan of harry potter as well), so here goes: Most of this content is planned for ModDB for now, but we will branch out to IndieDB content in the long-term, too.Autism is a tough one to explain to people whom have never heard of it, or have never had to deal with it. More videos may eventually work their way in, once we’re confident how to proceed. So far, the current viewership of last week’s videos shows this format has a lot of promise. The goal is to provide high quality content more frequently and reliably. Indie and mod trailers uploaded throughout the week as we receive them.A 15 minute snippet of a mod every Thursday.A YouTube short every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.Going into 2022 we wanted to keep promoting mods and indies, but in a more time-efficient way with more consistently themed content. We’d previously been uploading highly edited list videos roughly every 2-3 weeks, which, whilst generally pretty well received, took a lot of effort to make and sometimes the topic just didn’t land. Hey there! Today we’re trying out a new kind of weekly content - a quick look over all the videos that hit the DBolical YouTube each week! This is going hand-in-hand with a new video upload schedule.
