I didn’t build anything specifically for Autism Awareness this year but instead made a signal chain using some recent builds:
Shadow man ( @blackhatboojum) DM-3
Dizzy Elk fuzz (@peccary get rad)
Paracitic terraformer (PPCB arachnid)
Cerberus (PPCB muzzle) gate
TARigrade (EL Neotoma) RAT
In this 3 minute demo that I attempted to blend 3 genres of music (Trap/EDM, Doom, and Prog.) then broke the demo into 3 distinct parts for the 3 levels of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is typically categorized into three levels based on the level of support a person needs and the severity of their symptoms:
1. Level 1 (Requiring Support):
- Individuals at this level need some support to function in daily life.
- They may have difficulties with social interactions and communication but can generally manage routine tasks.
- Their symptoms may be noticeable but not severe enough to significantly impact their daily functioning.
2. Level 2 (Requiring Substantial Support):
- Individuals at this level require more substantial support to navigate daily life.
- They often have more pronounced difficulties with social interactions and communication, which can affect their ability to engage in typical activities.
- They may demonstrate repetitive behaviors or restricted interests that interfere with their functioning.
3. Level 3 (Requiring Very Substantial Support):
- Individuals at this level require significant support to meet their daily needs.
- Their difficulties with social interactions, communication, and behavior are severe and significantly impair their ability to function independently.
- They may have limited verbal communication skills or may be entirely nonverbal. They often require assistance with basic tasks and may have significant challenges in multiple areas of functioning.
It can be challenging and even isolating to be a caregiver for someone on the spectrum especially young children or those on the more severe end of the spectrum. It is estimated that 1 in 36 children in the U.S. have autism now, estimates also suggest that approximately 25% to 30% of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may remain nonverbal or minimally verbal throughout their lives. It’s important to note that early intervention and specialized therapies can help many individuals with autism develop communication skills, but some may still struggle with verbal communication.
Awareness by the general public can be the seed that brings about more funding for research, and resources for families and individuals that require support, as a significant portion of these individuals and families do not have access to adequate resources or services.
For those of you that have read through this long post, thank you! And I hope you find the demo entertaining and perhaps informative or inspiring.
