- 主题:11岁还不会说话的自闭症成为剑桥最年轻的黑人教授
https://nypost.com/2023/02/25/i-couldnt-read-until-18-now-im-the-youngest-black-professor-at-cambridge/今天看到BBC和纽约时报新闻，11岁还不会说话，18岁才会读写，很早就被诊断为自闭症和全面发育迟缓，37岁的Jason Arday成为剑桥大学最年轻的黑人教授
所以其实大脑可塑性超过我们想象，这么重度都能上大学，所以不要轻易对小孩未来下结论
低落时候可以看看这个鸡汤
Jason Arday, 37, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and global development delay when he was just a kid.
He couldn’t speak until he was 11, using sign language to communicate — and he couldn’t read or write until he was 18.
Less than a decade ago, Arday was given a devastating outlook: He would likely need to stay in an assisted living facility.

现在我有一种认识，或许是片面的，就是那些后来正常工作生活的所谓脱帽的都不是asd。

FROM 124.127.146.*
我看了新闻，都说的不多，因为他的符号感太多，一个是特殊人群，一个是黑人，一个是很年轻教授
关于ASD，我看就提到他母亲对他帮助很大，一直鼓励他，而且他自己也一直很自信，就是一直相信自己是somebody，之前他想做个足球运动员。然后生活中也提到他遭到很多拒绝
其他就是谈到成为黑人教授的感受之类，估计以后报道会很多，毕竟11岁才会说话大家很难说他是轻度的ASD或者不是ASD
另外也提到在会说话之前他的沟通方式好像是手势，所以感觉沟通欲望是很重要的

「這就是我想要做的。」
傑森·阿爾戴（Jason Arday）早年被診斷出患有自閉症和全面性發育遲緩，直到11歲才會說話，18歲才能讀寫。
如今，37歲的他即將成為劍橋大學史上最年輕的黑人教授。
傑森在倫敦西南部的克拉珀姆出生和長大，雖然此前他幾乎不能說話，但對周圍的世界充滿了好奇。
「為什麼有些人無家可歸？為什麼會有戰爭？」
此前，他在薩里大學獲得了體育和教育研究的學士學位，後來還獲得了兩個教育類碩士和一個博士學位。
如今，已成為社會學家的阿爾戴教授將於下月履職，他很關注提高少數族裔在高等教育中代表性的議題。
「如果我們想讓教育更具包容性，我們最好的工具就是團結、理解和愛。」

Jason Arday, 37, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and global development delay when he was just a kid.
He couldn’t speak until he was 11, using sign language to communicate — and he couldn’t read or write until he was 18.
Less than a decade ago, Arday was given a devastating outlook: He would likely need to stay in an assisted living facility.
He refused to make that a reality, writing that he would “work at Oxford or Cambridge” on the wall of his mom’s bedroom, solidifying one of his lifelong goals.
Now, he’s the youngest black professor at the University of Cambridge. He teaches the sociology of education.

“As optimistic as I am, there’s just no way I could have thought that would have happened. If I was a betting person, the odds on it were so long. It’s just mad,” Arday told The Times of UK, admitting he had “no idea” what he was doing when he first began writing academic papers.
He told the BBC that watching Nelson Mandela’s prison release in 1990 and witnessing South Africa’s 1995 Rugby World Cup win were among the most formative moments in his young life, vowing that if he didn’t “make it as a football player or a professional snooker player,” then he would “save the world.”
He said he never had a mentor teach him to write for academia, leading to a number of rejections — that is, until he finally reached his goal of teaching at the University of Cambridge. March 6 will mark his first day.

According to the BBC, there are only five other black professors at the university.
“Everything I submitted got violently rejected. The peer review process was so cruel, it was almost funny, but I treated it as a learning experience and, perversely, began to enjoy it,” he explained to The Times.
In the face of adversity, he was hell-bent on changing the tides in his favor. He went on to earn two master’s qualifications after receiving a degree in physical education and education studies from the University of Surrey. He later earned a PhD from Liverpool John Moores University in 2016.
“A lot of academics say they stumbled into this line of work, but from that moment, I was determined and focused — I knew that this would be my goal,” Arday, who hails from South London, told The Times. “On reflection, this is what I meant to do.”

The scholar recalled a dear friend, Sandro Sandri, encouraging him in academia, telling him, “I think we can take on the world and win.”
Arday published his first scholarly paper in 2018, becoming one of the youngest professors in the entire UK when he secured a job at the University of Glasgow’s School of Education.
“My work focuses primarily on how we can open doors to more people from disadvantaged backgrounds and truly democratize higher education,” Arday told The Times.
He hopes that being at Cambridge can leverage his ideas “to lead that agenda nationally and globally.”
