The Autism Behaviour We Often Misunderstand (Part 1)
Cover photo image credit: UnsplashThis week, I invited my friend, Ms. Lilian Ho, to record a podcast episode on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Lilian is an experienced educator who has taught English at primary schools, secondary schools, and kindergartens in Hong Kong, with extensive experience in inclusive education.
We discussed the social difficulties and language characteristics of children with ASD, and explored practical examples of how teachers and parents can use “Social Stories” to support ASD children in developing social skills.
This podcast episode is now live: “Teacher Talk: The Autism Behaviour We Often Misunderstand (Part 1)”:
The full transcript in English (translated from the original Cantonese audio) of the episode is also available on my Substack: Pacing Between Classroom and Lab
I am a doctoral researcher in psycholinguistics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, formerly trained and served as a Chinese language teacher in Hong Kong primary and secondary schools. My research revolves around the cognitive mechanisms underlying reading development and the methodology used to identify subtypes of developmental dyslexia. I also build infrastructures based on metascientific principles to help synthesise research findings in psychological sciences. I am committed to bridging the gap between scientific research and the actual practice in the educational and clinical settings. My goal is to translate cross-disciplinary knowledge for researchers, educators, practitioners, and parents by connecting insights across fields. I am currently leading the Re-SearchTerms Project at FORRT.
