If you don't know your own characteristics, it's easy to become maladjusted, trying to live in a way that doesn't suit you.
Parents say, "I'm out of college, but I can't get a job."
- If you are visually dominant and have a good memory, you can study.
- A high school education does not lead to a job, and people who have a relatively good work history are actually not very well educated.
- Conversely, a mismatch with the expectations of those around you, "I'm out of college, why can't I do it?
- High school teachers would let them go on to higher education anyway.
- Transitional period, a time when if you want to go on to higher education, you can do it.
Difficult interpersonal relationships in the workplace
- Campaign for cheerful greetings to reduce turnover
- I don't see the point of brightening it up.
- I don't understand the logic behind thinking that forcing people to greet each other cheerfully will reduce turnover.
I don't know either, and that's just a problem with the intelligence of management.
I can't cut corners just right.
- They work hard and finish in 30 minutes the work that a normal person would do in an hour, and then they are given more work to do.
- In order to get people with ASD to perform, it is better to specify only the outcome and let them do it in any way they want.
diagnosis
- From a doctor's point of view, it's based on whether you meet the diagnostic criteria.
- The parties are "in trouble."
- "Be there for the hardship."
- Diagnosis is not the same as whether or not the patient is in trouble environmentally.
being hired
- I want to help people and make them happy.
- But when I work, I get angry.
- Otoko wa Tsuraiyo, Tsuribaka Nisshi
- The protagonist can't do anything out of the ordinary.
- It would not be fun if all the characters in "Doraemon" were "Mr. Dekisugi-kun.
- Here is the figure on the topic
- Figure often used by Dr. Honda in his lectures

- I teach people with developmental disabilities, both adults and children, to make their personal lives a priority.
- Think about whether you need it for your life and discard what you don't seem to need.
- I'll only do a few quotas that I really need to do.
- I can sympathize with your tendency to inadvertently sacrifice your personal life.

- We need to consider whether the sacrifice is really a MUST.
- People who think they MUST make sacrifices they don't MUST make, and then get frustrated and grumpy, which is annoying to those around them.
- It's not good to be physically debuffed by neglecting your immediate surroundings.
- I don't feel well because I haven't slept, I don't feel well because I haven't eaten right.
- They say, "Taking care of one's health is part of the job."
- It would be good if we could openly say, "I am good at this, I am not good at that," and combine the two in society as a whole.
- If you don't have a job that is enough to make money to play with, you will be crushed.
Good support, unwanted support
- Easily deceived by others
- Poor money sense
- I can't read the other side of things.
- It must be fun to be with all of you."
- I don't really enjoy it.
- Don't impose your values on me.
- When someone asks me out, I'm burdened because I don't know how to say no.
- Basically individual
- Different people, different things.
- Requires pre-assessment and post-assessment coordination
- Don't try to adapt them to society.
- It's good to tell people flat out that this is how the majority thinks.
- It's up to each person to decide whether they want to be with the majority or not.
- Many people lump it all together as "developmental disabilities" and don't have the training to look at each person individually.
- Look at each person and make the most of each person
-
This is the same philosophy as the 100 men, 100 ways personnel system.
- It's faster to get people to change than to change the person.
- The obstacle is that it is not easy to change.
- Parties cannot live without Intercultural Exchange skills.
- Supporters don't always have those skills.
- It may be difficult for people with low social skill to support
