UTomas the Engine Tank kanye ne-Autism Connection

Kubhulogi okuthiwa "i-Oz ne-Ends," i-blogger okuthiwa i-JL Bell ithi ukuhlolwa kanye nezindaba mayelana nokuxhumana phakathi kukaThomas Tank Engine ne-autism. Nakhu ukuthi ibhulogi ichaza kanjani izifundo:

Ngo-Ephreli 2007, i-NAS yenze inhlolovo entsha ngokusekelwa yi-HIT Entertainment, abakhiqizi nabanikazi bamalungelo kaThomas & Abangane. Lolu cwaningo lwaba nesampula esikhulu: Abazali base-UK base-UK basezingane ezingu-10 abane-autism, imibiko ye-CBC. (I-Daily Mail ithi 750, kodwa lokho kusondelene ngokwanele kwethebhulethi.) Nanka okutholakele okuphezulu okuvela kumbiko we-2002:

• Izingane ezingxenyeni ze-autism zihambisana noTomas ngaphambi kwanoma yiliphi elinye uhlamvu lwezingane (57%).
• Lezi zingane zigcina ukuhlangana noTomas isikhathi eside kunabanye abalingiswa, ngokuvamile iminyaka emibili kunamabandla abo abathuthukayo.

Umbiko wamuva uncike ekutholeni okutholile ngokucacile okungaqondakali.

• Abazali abangu-58% babika ukuthi uTom & Abangane babengumlingani wokuqala wabantwana abathandekayo ingane yabo.
• Abazali abangaba ngu-39% babike ukuthi intshisekelo yengane yabo ku-Thomas & Friends yahlala iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-2 kunabantwana abathandekayo kumlingisi.

... Ngakho-ke inhlolovo yabazali abangu-81 ngo-2001 kanye nokuhlola kwabazali abangu-748 ngo-2007 kuveza impendulo efanayo kumbuzo ofanayo ngaphakathi kwephesenti eyodwa kuphela? Ingabe yileyo ndlela isayensi yezenhlalakahle evame ukusebenza ngayo?

Yiqiniso, i-NAS ayifuni ukuthi lezi zinhlolovo ziyasebenza ngokwesayensi. Esikhundleni salokho, kunezibonakaliso kwiwebhusayithi yamaqembu ebudlelwane obuhle obuhle phakathi komphakathi kanye no-HIT Entertainment, abanikazi be-Thomas brand.

Nakuba ngiyiqonda ngokuqinisekile ukukhathazeka kukaBell, kubonakala kimi ukuthi, eqinisweni uTomas uheha izingane nge-autism ngendlela engavamile. Kodwa angivumelani nesifundo esihlobene nesizathu sokuthi kungani izingane zethu zithanda uTomas kakhulu.

Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi izingane ezine-autism zenziwa imizwelo elula ebusweni babalingiswa. Angikuthengi. Eqinisweni, i-MOST TV kanye namathoyizi okuhloswe ngabantwana basenkulisa bagxila emizwelo elula kanye nesimo sobuso besimo socansi kanye nesimo somzimba. Awudingi injini ye-steam antiquated ukuze ubonise "Ngiyadabuka" - kuzo zonke iziboniso "zemfundo" emoyeni.

Inkolelo yami yukuthi uTomas uthakazelisa kakhulu izingane ezine-autism ngoba (1) izitimela zenza kakhulu ukuwa, ukushaywa, nokushaya - into eheha izingane zethu futhi kunzima ukuzijabulisa kwezinye izinhlelo ze-PBS noma ze-Disney zezingane zakuqala futhi (2) izitimela zamathoyizi zihambelana kahle, futhi izingane zethu zithanda ukuhlela izinto.

Bangakwazi ngisho nokuhlanganiswa ngokwemibala, into engabancenga kakhulu izingane ezine-autism.

Eqinisweni, izimpilo ezingokomzwelo zabalingiswa ezichungechungeni zikaTomas azikwazi ukuheha ukunakekelwa kwezingane zanamuhla nge-autism. Ethuthukiswa ngumdlali waseNgilandi ngawo-1920, laba abalingiswa bahlangabezana nezimpi zesigaba (imoto ephansi yezimoto ezihamba phambili kanye nezinjini eziphezulu zamakhamera) kanye nezingozi ze-anachronistic (ezigcwele uthuli lwamalahle).

Futhi ngenkathi izingane zase-UK zingase zithandeke ngokuziqhenya kwezinjini nokukhathazeka ngenxa yokuvakashelwa okuzayo kwendlovukazi, izingane eziningi zaseMelika ngeke zithole.

Ingabe ingane yakho isithandwa uTomas? Uma kunjalo, sicela wabelane ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho. Ungase ujabulele le mibono ngokusebenzisa uThomas the Tank Engine njengethuluzi lokufundisa! .
