About Me

Being Black in the Work Place... They take my kindness for weakness. They take my silence for speechless. They consider my uniqueness strange. They call my language slang. They see my confidence as conceit. They see my mistakes as defeat. They consider my success accidental. They minimize my intelligence to "potential." My questions mean "I'm unaware." My advancement is somehow unfair. Any praise is preferential treatment. To voice concern is discontentment. If I stand up for myself, I'm too defensive. If I don't trust them I'm too apprehensive. I'm defiant if I separate. Yet, I'm fake if I assimilate. So, constantly I am faced with work place hate. My character is constantly under attack. Pride for my race makes me, "TOO BLACK." Yet, I can only be me. And, who am I you might ask? I am that Strong Black Person... Who stands on the backs of my ancestors? Achievements, with an erect spine pointing to the stars with pride, Dignity and respect which lets the work place in America know, that I not only possess the ability to play by the rules, but I can make them as well!Hello fellow myspacer's.. My myspace name is Brown Suga. I'm a very pleasant and upbeat person who loves to enjoy life and meet new people, personally and via the internet. I'm a very down to earth person that you can ask just about anything. I may answer the question and I may not....lol. I've worked with special needs people for most of my teenage and adult life. My brother was special needs and I started out as an advocate for him. I'm very happy to announce that recently I've recieved two major promotions from my job..I'm now manager over the Behavioral Management Dept and also Senior Program Coordinator for the Discrete Trail Training and Applied Behavioral Analysis Dept. We specialize in helping children with Autism and other disabilities. This is my calling. Education wise I am working on my Master's degree in Sociology/Criminology (double major)and plan on opening a transitional living home for children on probation and in "the system" or possibly adults with autism within the next couple of years.

All of these diagnoses fall under the spectrum..."Classic" Autism: - A complex condition, autism is the most commonly diagnosed pervasive developmental disorder. Autism impairs a personÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s ability to communicate, both verbally and non-verbally, to form relationships and to interact with others. It also typically results in a range of unusual and repetitive behaviors. A child with autism may initially appear to develop normally, but then withdraw and lose interest in others. Typically diagnosed by the time a child is age 3 or 4, autism can vary from mild to severe. Autism is frequently accompanied by mental retardation, but not always. In many cases, patients will show uneven levels of intelligence with highly developed talents in some areas.Asperger Syndrome: - Often confused with high-functioning autism, Asperger Syndrome results in similar symptoms, but without the delays in language or the possibility of mental retardation seen in autism. Children with Asperger Syndrome often have impressive vocabularies and sharp cognitive skills, but display serious difficulties with social interaction. They may have an obsessive interest in a particular topic and become preoccupied with repetitive routines or behaviors. In addition, many children with Asperger Syndrome have a history of developmental delays in motor skills and display poor physical coordination.Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS): - Also known as "atypical autism," PDD-NOS is a diagnosis given to children who exhibit some symptoms of autism or other pervasive developmental disorder, but do not meet the specific diagnostic criteria for any one disorder in particular. Children with PDD-NOS generally have impaired social skills, problems with verbal and non-verbal communication, and engage in highly repetitive behaviors. In many cases, children initially given a diagnosis of PDD-NOS are later confirmed to have an identifiable disorder.Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD): - Also known as HellerÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s syndrome or regressive autism, CDD occurs more frequently in boys but is also found among girls. Children with CDD appear to develop normally in most areas until 2 to 4 years of age. At that point, a marked regression occurs, which may take place over a period of weeks or months. Previously learned skills, such as toilet training, language and social abilities, are lost. The child may stop speaking, become disinterested in play, and develop other characteristics typical of autism.Rett Syndrome (Rare): - Thought to be a genetic disorder, Rett Syndrome is most commonly seen in females. The condition causes a steep developmental regression in children after 6 to 18 months of age. Until this time, many children appear to be developing normally, but then begin to undergo rapid behavioral changes, including loss of language, problems with balance, lack of interest in social relationships, sleep abnormalities and extended tantrums. In addition, the heads of children with Rett Syndrome fail to grow at a normal rate and most patients with the condition have mental retardation. Gradually they lose the purposeful use of their hands, which leads to repetitive "hand washing" movements, perhaps the most characteristic symptom of the disorder.
