Kathie’s Top Ten Bullying Words That People with ASD NEED to Know
I scoured the internet for a list of bullying vocabulary words that I liked. Maybe that’s the speech therapist in me but I couldn’t find a list to please me, so I made my own Kathie’s Top Ten List of Bullying Words.
THIS IS WHERE YOU START TEACHING PEOPLE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM ABOUT BULLYING because these are the keywords that I feel are important for our people with ASD to know. They are also words that are important for parents and all professionals to know and understand.
Kathie’s Top Ten Bullying Words
Bully
• To threaten or scare a person with words or physical actions
Bystander
• Someone who sees what is happening without taking part or action
Gossip

Children Learn from You
YOU, the parent, the teacher, the caregiver, ARE the model that a child sees. Be cautious in what you say and do. Children learn from YOU.
If you are happy ~ your child will glean joy in his/her life.
If you are strong ~ your child will learn strength.
If you share convictions ~ your child will learn to stand up for what is right.
If you show kindness ~ your child will be a giver.
If you have faith ~ your child will learn that faith will defeat despair.
If you have love ~ your child will learn that love can sustain.
These are my words, my beliefs, my experience. Kathie Harrington
Guilt – Grocery Shopping – and Syria Crisis
I feel guilty because today I thought to myself with great relief, I’m so glad that I don’t need to go grocery shopping today. Then I looked at the headlines in Syria and I once again thought about all of the women over there who prayed, I so wish I could go grocery shopping today so that my family can eat.
Food bags ~ acts of kindness around Las Vegas
I continue with my little acts of kindness in the form of food bags as I drive around my city of Las Vegas, NV. I always carry at least two bags with me in the car and hand them out to people who hold signs on the corners. The quart size bags contain a bottle of water, crackers, fruit cup, candy, and a toothbrush or comb. I often put in chap-stick and lotion as well.
People are so grateful and I always receive a ‘thank you’ accompanied by a smile. Many of the men and women say, “God bless you,” That makes my day.
Yes, it is better to give and there is so much giving to be done. Don’t judge ~ just make little bags of kindness for people in your town. You’ll be the one who receives the gift!
I challenge YOU and let me know how it goes.
Las Vegas Metro Volunteers fly high at McCarran Airport
My husband, Tim, is a member of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Volunteer Police Department. They were named the #1 volunteer police department in the United States for 2011. That is Sharon Harding, (bottom left photo) holding the trophy, along with Capt. Maczala, from L.V. Metro, and Earl Beach, director of Metro volunteers at McCarran Airport.
Year-end stats for the McCarran Metro Volunteers are staggering with 3375 shifts and 163,509 public or department assists! Total hours these men and women volunteered at McCarran airport totaled 18,983. That is just for McCarran. Metro Volunteers assist the public all over the Las Vegas Valley in various positions. We can all be proud and grateful for their dedication and time.
When you’re traveling in or out of McCarran Airport and see a YELLOW SHIRT, ask a Volunteer or just say, “Hi.” They’re there to assist YOU because they care.
