This book presents a unique exploration of common myths about
autism by examining these myths through the perspectives of
autistic individuals. Examining the history of attitudes and
beliefs about autism and autistic people, this book highlights the
ways that these beliefs are continuing to impact autistic
individuals and their families, and offers insights as to how
viewing these myths from an autistic perspective can facilitate the
transformation of these myths into a more positive direction. From
'savant syndrome' to the conception that people with autism lack
empathy, each chapter examines a different social myth - tracing
its origins, highlighting the implications it has had for autistic
individuals and their families, debunking misconceptions and
reconstructing the myth with recommendations for current and future
practice. By offering an alternative view of autistic individuals
as competent and capable of constructing their own futures, this
book offers researchers, practitioners, individuals and families a
deeper, more accurate, more comprehensive understanding of
prevalent views about the abilities of autistic individuals as well
as practical ways to re-shape these into more proactive and
supportive practices.
This book is essential for anyone interested in learning about the
therapeutic potential of orthodox and state-of-the-art supports for
autistics. Using research evidence, supports are rated using a
Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Tin category system. 'Gold' is extremely
promising and use with confidence, whereas 'Tin' is extremely
unsafe and potentially life threatening. This book, however, is
more complex than just presenting literature reviews about supports
for autistics and then rating the efficacy of the support. In
addition to this, the insights and experiences of autistics about
the autism supports examined are presented. Such testimonials
provide an insider perspective from those who ultimately stand to
benefit or suffer after receiving a support - namely autistics
themselves.
This volume explores the issues of taking, using and being hostages
in the Middle Ages. It brings together recent research in the areas
of hostages and hostageships, looking at the act of hostage-taking
and the hostages themselves through the lenses of political and
social history. Building upon previous work, this volume in
particular critically examines not only the situations of hostages
and hostageships but also the broader social and political context
of each situation, developing a more complete picture of the
phenomenon.
Snowdonia has a great story to tell, of ancient oceans, mountains,
volcanoes and climate change. The mountain landscape of Snowdonia
is the result of everything that has happenend to it over
geological time - the product of the ancient landscapes that went
before it, fragments of which are preserved by rocks and landforms
within the present landscape, providing clues of a forgotten past
that can be read as you appreciate Snowdonia's wild beauty. The
present landscape has also been shaped by the people that have
worked the land and exploited its minerals.

When confronted with the large amount of research about the autism
spectrum one can be forgiven for believing that every conceivable
aspect has been studied. However, despite the abundance of
research, there still remains several autism topics that are not
yet comprehensively understood. Addressing Underserved Populations
in Autism Spectrum Research: An Intersectional Approach highlights
five areas of autism spectrum research that currently lack a
substantial body of literature. These include, autistic seniors,
autistic women, fathers raising autistic children, autistics with
intellectual disabilities, and autistics from ethnic minorities.
Bennett and Goodall explore each area, offering explanations for
why they have been overlooked in the existing literature and
recommendations and strategies for further research to help us
better understand these parts of the autistic community. They also
explore and address systemic racism within the autism research
community and explain strategies that scholars can use to conduct
research that is both respectful of autistics and methodologically
rigorous. Readers will gain an understanding of some of the gaps in
our knowledge about the autism spectrum and will obtain the tools
needed to conduct robust and appropriate research that addresses
these gaps.

This resource provides a full introduction to the Norman Conquest,
which resulted in dramatic changes to England's aristocracy,
church, and administration; brought new language and cultural
influences to England; and revolutionized military architecture
with the introduction of the castle. With maps showing how William
the Conqueror's strategic intelligence enabled him to defeat his
formidable opponents and create a new order, this vivid survey
studies the Conquest's campaigns in detail. Assessing the human
experience of the war, attention is also paid to the community
surrounding the campaigns. Including a chronology and an analysis
of the consequences of William the Conqueror's victory, this
fascinating volume will prove valuable for both student and general
readers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound and potentially
ever-lasting impact on our economy, society, and the way that we
live. In response to this pandemic there has been a plethora of
research published about COVID-19. However, within this
fast-growing body of literature there are only scant references
made to the impact that this pandemic has had on autistics, their
families, and the healthcare professionals who support autistics.
Autism and COVID-19 is a concise summary of the research, bridging
the gaps in our knowledge about autism and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bennett and Goodall address vaccine hesitancy among autistics and
parents raising autistic children, the experiences of autistics
living with COVID-19 disease and parenting an autistic child during
the COVID-19 pandemic, synthesising the data about the COVID-19
pandemic from the perspective of autistic, their families, and
those that provide autistics with medical assistance. Autism and
COVID-19 both reviews the existing literature and presents new
findings from a survey distributed to autistics and parents of
autistics during the pandemic, all of which offer a unique and
timely contribution to researchers, academics, practitioners, and
those working with autistics and their families.
Essays suggest or explore reasons why violent acts might have been
perpetrated, and attempt to understand the social priorities which
governed such acts. Thought-provoking and characterized by a high
level of scholarship. HISTORYAn important addition to the dialogue
concerning the nature of conflict and its resolution in the early
medieval West. HISTORIAN [US] The `violence' oflife in the middle
ages is nowadays both taken for granted and little understood. The
essays in this collection all suggest or explore reasons why
violent acts might have been perpetrated, and attempt to understand
the social priorities which governed such acts. Broadly, the
studies clarify issues relating to the creation of political
identities and the establishment of social order, and cover matters
of administration, religious ritual, and gender.Contributors: GUY

Essays on strategic thinking and practice in medieval warfare. This
special edition of the Journal aims to respond to the lively debate
in recent years as to whether medieval military history was
characterized by particular types of strategy, be it Grand,
Vegetian or Battle-Seeking. Itbrings together many of the
pre-eminent military historians active today to examine a number of
cases that display the complexity and diversity of strategic
realities, as well as exploring new models and methodological
avenues inevaluating medieval strategies. Material ranges
chronologically from the late Roman Empire to the late Middle Ages,
and geographically from the Baltic and the British Isles to Iberia
and the Crusader States, while the topics explored include the
Viking Wars, the English long bow, and the economies of conquest.

Analyses of different aspects of the history of warfare in the
Mediterranean in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The kingdom of
Sicily plays a huge part in the history of the Norman people; their
conquest brought in a new era of invasion, interaction and
integration in the Mediterranean, However, much previous
scholarship has tended to concentrate on their activities in
England and the Holy Land. This volume aims to redress the balance
by focusing on the Hautevilles, their successors and their
followers. It considers the operational, tactical, technical and
logistical aspects of the conduct of war in the South throughout
the eleventh and twelfth centuries, looking also at its impact on
Italian and Sicilian multi-cultural society. Topics include the
narratives of the Norman expansion, exchanges and diffusion between
the "military cultures" of the Normans and the peoples they
encountered in the South, and their varied policies of conquest,
consolidation and expansion in the different operational theatres
of land and sea.
This scoping review furnishes the reader with a contemporary
overview of research about employment conditions related to persons
on the autism spectrum. In this book six guiding questions are used
to address various aspects of employment for persons on the autism
spectrum, including job opportunities, removing barriers to
employment, becoming successful at work, and management issues for
employers working with people on the autism spectrum. The contents
of this scoping review can appeal to many different readers.
Persons on the autism spectrum can learn about proven strategies
that they can use to maximise their success in the workplace.
Employers, tertiary students, and lay people can learn methods that
they can use to help employees on the autism spectrum obtain and
maintain employment. Finally, researchers can learn about the
current limitations of our knowledge about the autism spectrum and
employment.
This SpringerBrief provides readers with a comprehensive snapshot
of contemporary research about autistics and their experiences and
insights of sexual behaviours and interests. The authors use a
scoping review approach to canvass the diverse literature on this
topic. This approach shows many gaps in scholarly understanding
about autistics and their experiences and insights of sexual
interests and behaviours. Some of the gaps relate to sex education,
gender dysphoria and gender reassignment surgery, pregnancy and
childbirth, and domestic violence experiences of autistics. The
book addresses these gaps and provides explanations and
recommendations for further research.
This book presents several metascientific strategies and explains
how they can be used to improve research about the autism spectrum.
It begins with an introduction to the field of metascience and the
benefits that it brings to academic disciplines and society. It
then outlines recommendations that researchers can adopt so that
they do not incorporate specious autism research from predatory
publishers into their research activities. An introduction to
reproducibility and strategies that can improve the reproducibility
of autism research are then outlined. This is followed by chapters
about improving the peer review process and reducing the prospect
of questionable research practices from occurring. This book
concludes with a chapter about strategies that researchers can use
to improve the participation of autistics in research. Such
knowledge will equip academics, regardless of their experience,
with the skills and expertise they need to produce high-quality and
inclusive research about the autism spectrum.
Cumulatively [the volumes] are of increasing value as repositories
of scholarship on the multi-dimensional subject of knighthood ...
highly informative and useful. ALBION Studies treating a wide
variety of aspects of knighthood. Topics include the way in which
the word "knight" has been used, studying the terminology and
ritual concerned with "making a knight"; the circumstances and
implications ofthe knighting of the social elite of England between
1066 and 1272; the difficulties of distinguishing between knight
and clerk, as exemplified by Abelard's multi-faceted image; the
debt which Geoffrey de Charny's treatise on chivalry owes to the
ideas and ideals of knighthood in Arthurian prose romances; and the
linguistic competence of the twelfth-century knightly classes as
courtly audience of troubadour song. There are also important
contributions onthe warhorse; and on the fortifications of
fourteenth-century English towns, arguing that they were more the
expression of bourgeois aspirations than a response to serious
military threat. Professor STEPHEN CHURCH teaches in the Department

Latest research on the chivalric ethos of western Europe,10c-15c,
from the practical (houses, armour) to the intellectual [conceptof
holy war, loyalty, etc.]. The Strawberry Hill conferences on
medieval knighthood, from which these volumes spring, aim to bring
together historians and literary scholars whose interests focus on
medieval chivalry, to bridge the gulf between the two areas of
specialisation and explore matters of common interest. Eight papers
cover a wide area, both territorially and chronologically,but
common themes emerge. One group of essays deals with the
embellishments of lordship, both architectural and heraldic,
studying residences and also developments in armour. A second group
concerns ideals which motivated the aristocracy of western Europe,
from the late 10th to the 15th centuries: romances, the Peace
movement ofAquitaine, holy war, and loyalty; concentration on
rationalism and free will in thewritings of the cultural circle
which revolved around Sir John Fastolfis identified as an important
element in the development of the EnglishRenaissance. Professor
