Week 2

Reading about time management and life skills is always a huge help to remind you about how to better deal with stress, I can honestly say it helped my week out a ton. I am usually the world's worst procrastinator but this week I got all my stuff done ahead of time! It was most interesting to me to learn about the medical model vs. social model with disability. It was helpful to see a specific way of how to decipher between the two and how people look at it. 

Weekly Quote:
"There is no greater disability in society, than the inability to see a person as more." Robert M. Hensel

HWD:

35 percent of young adults (ages 19-23) with autism have not had a job or received postgraduate education after leaving high school. (Shattuck et al., 2012)

In June 2014, only 19.3 percent of people with disabilities in the U.S. were participating in the labor force – working or seeking work. Of those, 12.9 percent were unemployed, meaning only 16.8 percent of the population with disabilities was employed. (By contrast, 69.3 percent of people without disabilities were in the labor force, and 65 percent of the population without disabilities was employed.) (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014)
