• Am I still Autistic: John Hall at TEDxManhattanBeach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6-PwVuYy2Y
I thought I knew what autism was, but after watching some of these videos, I realize that there is a lot more to it, than what I knew. I learned that there are certain extreme environments that can make them anxious or overwhelmed. There’s things that can affect their sense like lights and loud sounds. The ways they interact with us don’t make them less intelligent than the rest of us. I think these things are important to understand because we need to have a controlled environment in order for them to be able to participate and have an enjoyable time like we want. I also learned that there are many people throughout history that have created great things that had autism. They are intelligent and their increased senses can help them discover and create great things. I learned from some of these videos as well as my interactions with people with this condition that they sometimes feel awkward in groups of people and they don’t know how to react to certain situations. This can be important to understand as a TRS because they sometimes may not want to go in large group outings and things like that. I think it is interesting that there are so many different types of autism so I am a little confused on what categorizes someone as autistic. Some seem to have a hard time learning, but then there are others that are geniuses and understand more than I do. I have a roommate that is autistic and I have learned from her that it is important to treat her just like I treat my other roommates. She is just like us, sometimes she may feel awkward in social situations and things like that, but she is equal. There are times she becomes extremely passionate about things, but instead of thinking it’s odd or something, it’s better to embrace it and to talk to her about it. I learned a lot about autism that I didn’t know before.

• Danny Aguirre- Cancer Survivor-Powerlifting Star
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlT-7WCU93g
I learned a lot about how people must feel when they have cancer. I really liked what Brianna Mercado said about life “I would rather live a life of ‘oh wells’ than a life of ‘what if’s’”. I feel like that is something that people forget until they get faced with something like cancer. Everyone has a passion whether that’s dancing, cycling, or weightlifting. Cancer or any time of disease shouldn’t stop anyone’s progress in their passion. As a TRS, it is important for me to know what they are feeling when they have cancer. These people might feel hopeless and scared and by being aware of those feelings, I can help them overcome them. I think it’s important for a TRS to help people see that a disease doesn’t limit them. They may not be able to do something all at once, such as Danny wasn’t able to pick up a 450 pound weight again right away, but they can get there. I really liked what the cyclist said about her healing being a competition. Even if they just compete with themselves, it will make them want to work harder and be better every day. By helping client’s find their passion, I can help them have a goal or a motive to fight their

Spinal Cord YouTube assignment

• Spina Bifida Doesn’t keep Utah Athlete Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOqKosNnIAI
Whether these athletes were riding bikes, surf boards or just playing tennis they all were so motivated to keep going. From these videos I learned that anything is possible. I didn’t know how someone could possibly get back on a surf board after they couldn’t walk or swim, but they found a way. I learned that any sport can be adapted to fit the needs of the person. There are probably many ways that the sports can be adapted to each circumstances. All that is needed is a little creativity and some tools and anyone can do anything. I loved how positive these people are. It becomes so easy for me to get bitter at my circumstances when life gets hard some times, but they never gave up. I loved in the last video I watched, the boy talked about research being done to find a cure for spina bifida. He says in the interview that if there was a cure found, he wouldn’t want it because this is who he is. I learn a lot about motivation and dedication from people like this. If you have a passion, don’t give up. It wasn’t easy for them to get there and for people like Jesse it took a few years of trial and struggle, but now they have succeeded. I learned that even when life gets hard with what I love, I can adjust and move on. These people have an even bigger love for life than they did before their injury. I think moments like this make us think about how valuable life really is and really appreciate it more. That is the most important thing I learned from this. I need to live in the moment. They didn’t know this was going to happen to them and they could either let it stop them or just pause them for a minute. That’s what I can do with my life.

Personality Disorders
• Individuals who exhibit distorted patterns of relating to, perceiving and thinking about themselves and their environment are described as having personality disorders. The qualifying characteristic of a personality disorder is its chronic, or long-lasting nature, and its pervasive involvement of the total personality. The individual with a personality disorder is not in pain or distressed; the tendency is to view the behavior as healthy, not deviant.
• There are four main types of personality disorders:
1. Paranoid Personality-People are often perceived as odd and eccentric. These individuals are suspicious of almost all situations. They are extremely distrustful and jealous of others, which limits their friendships and seriously affects their emotional and social adjustments, as well as their cognitive processes.
2. Antisocial personality-people are often seen as dramatic, emotional and erratic. A person with this impairment expresses a predatory attitude toward others. In classifying this behavior, the two criteria that must be met are evidence that the behavior has existed since early adolescence and that the deviant attitude affects or permeates the total personality or behavior of the person.
3. Borderline Personality-The individual appears in a constant state of crisis. A person with this impairment is characterized by extraordinarily unstable affect, mood, behavior, object, relations, and self-image; and almost always appear to be in a state of crisis. They have a chronic fear of abandonment and prefer a frantic search for companionship, no matter how unsatisfactory, to dealing with feelings of loneliness, emptiness, and boredom.
4. Passive-aggressive personality-People tend to resist expectations of others while exerting subtle control. They will indirectly resist the demands of others. Such a person would not openly refuse a request to perform a certain task but would procrastinate or make errors in the process of complying with the request, which is a hostile way of controlling others.

Crime and Delinquency
Juvenile Delinquency: Conduct by a juvenile (under 18) characterized by antisocial behavior that is beyond parental control and therefore subject to legal action not punishable by death or life imprisonment .
Crime: Patterns of behavior that deviate from cultural norms and threaten the welfare of others.
Characteristics:
Considered multidimensional issues - both genes and environment do play a role in the criminality of an individual
Circumstances: criminal parents, dysfunctional families, low verbal intelligence quotients, poor school performance, substance abuse and poverty.
“The social evolution of a future criminal begins with parental neglect and the youth’s acceptance by aggressive, hostile classmates at school.” (Carter & Andel, 2011).
•substance abuse •poor judgement
•lack of impulse control •low motivation
•sensation seeking •low self-worth
•participation in negative leisure activities •low self-esteem
•no constructive activities in free time •family problems
•underachievement in sports •Alienation
•lack self-motivation •Rebelliousness
•Difficulty managing daily living tasks and •low harm avoidance
interpersonal relations.
CONSEQUENCES:
•suicide
•delinquency
•substance abuse
Statistics:
2012 Census Bureau: 73.8 million youth under the age of 18 in the United States, 1.3 million delinquency cases.
Of the male inmates in the U.S. serving time, over half are serving time for violent offenses, while the predominant offenses committed by women tend to property crimes or drug violations (nonviolent). - (Carter & Andel, 2011)
World-wide, violence is the leading cause of death for people aged 15-44 years...accounting for 14% of deaths among males and 7% of deaths among females (WHO, 2009).
Preventing Delinquent Behavior:
•Recreational activities fill unsupervised after-school hours. –Department of Education
•Recreation programs allow youths to connect with other adults and children in the community.
•Such positive friendships may assist children in later years.
TR Application:
Goals:
•Improving academic achievement.
•Social skill development.
•Recreation
•Opportunities for adolescents to develop
•Grow to become fully functioning adults.
•Autonomy
•Identity development
•Positive social relationships
•Learning conflict resolution
Some TR steps that can be taken if a client with a history of delinquent behavior comes to a TRS would be to utilize the APIE process.
Some theories and models that are backed by evidenced based practice in helping with delinquent youth are:
• Leisure Well-Being model
• Self-Determination and Enjoyment Enhancement model
• Resiliency theory
• Self-Determination theory
• Self-Efficacy theory
• Behavior Modification Theory
• Choice Theory
Activities:
•Physical activity has been identified as a strategy that improves social and emotional well-being in at-risk youth.
•Youth programs are designed to fit the personalities and skills of different children.
•sports, dancing, music, rock climbing, drama, karate, bowling, art, and other activities.
