NEHMA Presents KUED's "Book Club in a Box" | The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
For November, we'll be reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime"
by Mark Haddon. KUED Documentary: On the Spectrum
Book discussion will be led by Bruce and Shauna Crane, and documentary discussion
led by Dana Barraco, KUED Associate Producer.
To RSVP or learn more, call 435-797-7239 or email teri.guy@usu.edu.
The stories we get from On the Spectrum and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime deal with young people with autism. While this can be a devastating disability for
some, a key success factor for those with this diagnosis is often the people who care
for them and teach them. In both the documentary and the book, these individuals have
people who care for their basic needs. However, in On the Spectrum, the children have parents who understand their disabilities and advocate tirelessly
for their well-being. In the novel, Christopher’s mother has deserted the family and
while his father does the best he can, Christopher’s best hope is his teacher Siobhan
who helps him understand emotions, both his own and others. While there is still no
“cure” for autism, there are methods for helping those living with the disability
to live full and creative lives. The difference between the people we meet in the
documentary and the people in the book highlight some of these key factors. Is excellent
care giving socio-economically related or is it a deep commitment to and love of the
person with autism?
