Many Autistic or Autistic-like individuals start out early in their educational careers not understanding how to socialize with their peers. They are unable to greet, when or when not to smile, how to ask if they could join a social event or to play, how to celebrate appropriately, how to engage in social conversations, how to win or lose a game without aggression or assertiveness if necessary.
Many grow into middle school age and begin to use television shows or skits as a source of information to guide them in what to say, or do in different situations. Various youth on the spectrum of Autism see other children in the media and want to emulate their behavior. Many do not comprehend that these skits or televisions shows are actors and actresses performing or interpreting lifes events. They do not comprehend the performances of lifes events in these shows are not a representation of what is always real in society.
In social situations, the VIEW medium would provide correct responses that the child would imitate and eventually would learn to increase internalized learning and the understanding of the world of which the individual has unintentionally or intentionally shut himself out of. The "VIEW" would provide a real interpretation of the event by the child himself.
In terms of Peace Building, many youth with adequate social skills seek out and find groups that aid them in becoming independent and socially self-supporting but those that do not become targets many times for bullies and end up in inappropriate social situations. The youth who have neurological disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or Autistic-like characteristics become targets just because of their oddities or their inability to be assertive. Many become withdraw from society as they become older. The want to be typical, but because of the culture of their disorder, they are not able to project themselves as normal and do not fit in many times.
Many of these youth do learn through other interventions how to model appropriate behavior, but the VIEW uses a self awareness approach.
Some studies indicted a high percentage of incarceration of youth with inappropriate social skills and the author has provided a known example of a
young man who would break into his neighbors garage over and over again just to take some key chains. It was later discovered that the young man would see the key chains as the neighbors would have their garage opened and attempt to take them. The parents would try to explain that you do not take peoples things. The individual looked normal at times, but displayed odd behaviors. He had no friends and would display the same inappropriate behavior over and over again. This individual was eventually arrested and incarcerated. You would probably say he had some OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), along with other characteristics of other neurological disorders that had never been addressed in terms of interventions.
Because Autism is a cormorbid disorder, it is easy to misdiagnose many times until a child is older. Researchers are becoming more and more astute as they study this complex disorder of disconnectiveness and more interventions are being developed to accommodate in the success of these individuals. The author is by no means implying that youth who make bad decisions should not be incarcerated nor have no consequences for their actions. The "VIEW" is just another tool to assist in the journey of achieving self actualization and new knowledge.
