Poznavanje in sprejemanje avtizma med mladostniki : diplomsko delo

Brsa, Katja (author), Poštrak, Milko (mentor)

Diplomsko delo se ukvarja s problematiko poznavanja avtistov med mladostniki v Občini Piran in njihovo socialno izključenostjo. Razdeljeno je na teoretični del, ki obsega zgodovino avtizma, vzroke, značilnosti, socialno izključenost avtistov, opisane so njihove pravice in zakonodaja na tem področju ter nekaj nevladnih organizacijah, ki so ustanovljene za pomoč osebam z avtizmom. Empirični del vsebuje podrobnosti o izvedbi in rezultate raziskave o tem, kako so dijaki zaključnih letnikov srednjih šol GEPŠ (Gimnazija Piran in Elektro in pomorska šola srednja šola Portorož) seznanjeni s pojmom avtizem, hkrati pa, ali je pri sprejemanju drugačnih v družbo oziroma vključevanju takih oseb v družabno življenje srednješolcev izražena nestrpnost. Ugotovili smo tudi, da večina mladostnikov avtizem pozna kot bolezen in da se je skoraj vsak že srečal z vsaj eno osebo z avtizmom. Po zaključeni raziskavi smo se odločili, da raziščemo tudi nekaj v zvezi z avtizmom in socialnim delom ter v ta namen opravili dva intervjuja s starši otrok s spektrom avtističnih motenj in posledično spoznali njihov pogled na obravnavano problematiko.

• Title: Knowing and accepting autism among young people

Abstract

My degree paper addresses the issue whether young people in the Community of Piran recognize an autistic person, and the social exclusion of such individuals among them. The paper consists of two parts. The theoretical part includes the history of autism, it's causes, it's charateristics, the social exclusion of people with autism, their rights and the legislation concerning atusim, and lists some non-government organisations that have been founded to help the inflicted persons. In the empirical part we have researched the degree of familiarity with autism, and if intolerance is shown towards autistic persons among the students of GEPŠ (Gimnazija Piran, Elektro in Pomorska šola Portorož), when they are being integrated into their social structure. We have found out that most young people are familiar with autism, and that almost everyone has had contact with an autistic person. Later we decided to explore the relationship between autism and social working as well. We have done two interviews with parents of children with the spectrum of autistic disorders, where we desired to find out their view on that relationship
