Demander l'opinion d'un-e expert-e en pédagogique inclusive aurait pu apporter un meilleur éclairage à cet article.
Je suis peu convaincue des arguments des Dres Grouil et St-Pierre. Créer des modalités d'évaluation inclusives, c'est éviter des obstacles pour certains élèves.

Lightbulb Moments: Being Autistic
YouTube video by Thriving Autistic Lightbulb Moments: Being Autistic

The other animation is Lightbulb Moments: Being Autistic.

So much about Autistic experience is still missing from most professional accounts, which have been formulated from the outside.

Many people talk about all these little epiphanies: 'I thought it was just me!'

Student Notebook: The Physics of Autistic Inertia Hari Srinivasan describes the difficulty autistic people face in starting, stopping, or switching tasks, as well as how to manage this feeling of “inertia” as a graduate student.

“Newton’s … law of inertia, tells us that an object at rest stays at rest, & an object in motion stays in motion, unless something intervenes. In daily life, autistic inertia echoes this: Starts, stops, & shifts can require disproportionate effort.”

Ce papier de @abenanav.bsky.social est brillant. S'il fallait se rappeler cette évidence: «The current trajectory of generative AI reflects the priorities of firms seeking to lower costs, discipline workers, and consolidate profits — not any drive to enhance human flourishing.»
