Their Words

My Favorite Home

David 4.2.2024 I would like to live at the house where I live now because I am happy there and I have my own room. I want to live with my dad and my mom.

I would not like to live on my own. It would be difficult to use the dining room and it would be difficult to cook.

The Internet

Jake 1.17.2024 I think the best thing about the internet is that there are tons of things waiting to be discovered by many people. You can get a lot of facts via websites and video content. For me, it allows me to see a lot of good supercars and compare them to modern models, discover new remixes to listen to, and look up childhood memories like online games and TV bumpers.

The worst thing about the internet is that a lot of people post compilations of characters crying and instances where a character cries (movie or TV) and even videos of toddlers and little kids going nuts in situations, and a lot of gender reveal reaction videos. There's just too much disappointment!

The pro of social media is that you can post what you want the world to know about you and the only con is the fact that once you do have a social media account, the whole world knows about you and then you might be more cautious about what you post.

I think it's better for people to stay connected in person because then they can express their feelings and opinions in front of a friend and not cause an online debate.

One part of our lives that doesn’t need to be seen on the internet is your personal schedule because everyone’s is different.

The Fun of Writing a Story

Chris 12.7.2022

The short story was a very long process. I had a lot of ideas about my characters, the orangutan tribe. This was all a lot of work. It was a lot of work to analyze the characters in the chart. It was really good to clearly define all the characters first. It was a very fun thing to come up with the plot of the story because it is my best strength. I am very imaginative and I have many ideas for the stories that I want to tell. It is a great thing to be able to express yourself in writing. It makes me feel good that my ideas are read by other people. It is a great opportunity to share what’s in your head just as they are speaking their ideas. You should know that the fact that someone can’t speak, doesn’t mean that they don’t have something to say. Next time I write a story, I will think about the ending first, so I know which way the story goes.

The Story of My Working Way

Dov 12.6.2023 I think work ethic is how you work. I don’t always work as well as I would like to because I can get distracted.

It is always good to work even if you get distracted.

It is in some way a good idea to do good work when it is for your job or your home. It affects your life directly.

I worked hard to help the doctors even though it was scary for me. I enjoyed the hospital training even though it was hard for me.

The work ethic is important because you can follow all your dreams.

Work Ethic

Matthew 11.15.23 A work ethic is working hard to be on time in the workplace.

Work Ethic is important because, show members and staff that I can complete work efficiently and effectively and help me achieve my personal and professional goals and strong staff and members in the workplace.

A work ethic is important in all areas in life in the workplace. Staff and members who have a strong work ethic are more likely to excel in their sport. A strong work ethic is important in all areas of life as it helps individuals achieve their goals.

I used to have a strong work ethic, for I might recall a time when your place of employment had to meet an ambitious production quota to satisfy a new client.

You Can Do It

Monica 11.15.2023

Having a good work ethic means working hard and getting all your chores finished. If you get all of your chores done you won’t have any more chores to do.

I think having a good work ethic is important because if you do not have a good work ethic, you will not have a good job or you will be fired from your job.

I think when you are babysitting you have to have a good work ethic because you have to know how to watch your cousins, and make sure your cousins don’t get into any trouble or get hurt or get into any accidents. You can do it. Just try not to be so hard on yourself.

I showed my strong work ethic when I worked at Marshalls. I worked in the beauty department. I helped the customers with whatever they need like showing them where the makeup is and the jewelry, or if they need an opinion on dresses.

The Great Hard Worker

Jonathan 11.15.23 I have the great and wonderful work ethic. I am working hard everyday at JoyDew. Yes this is very important to have the strongest work ethic. I think this means getting all the right jobs done and to try my best. I can get busy and distracted and taking breaks can help me work harder. My hard work shows when I draw pictures and do radiology. I remember everything!

JoyDew’s New Home in Ridgewood

Kyla is a very happy girl in JOYDEW.

I am going to be the best employee at JoyDew by working hard and training. Come here to find new friends!

Kyla 10.2.2023 Ridgewood’s JoyDew is much better than the old location.

I think it is positive because it is a good change.

My mood is still the same. I am a happy and positive person.

Yes, I will come to JoyDew everyday because I like it here. It is more about the people I am with than the location.

Our place is very nice.

I like to come here every day.

I like blogging too. But my friendships are the most important.

House Plan

My Name Is Randy. I Like To Go Swimming In The Pool. I Play The Guitar. I Like Doing Activities At JoyDew Like Yoga And Animation. Come Join The Fun.

Randy 9.18.2023 My Dream Place To Live Would be To Go to Hawaii Because I Like To Go Swimming In The Ocean. I Would Like To Live In A House Because I Like To Have A Lot Of Space And Would Like To Get A Swing Set. I Would Like To Live With My Parents. I Would Have Trouble When It Comes To Cooking.

The other person in the room

My name is Gil. I am unable to speak but I am a great typer. I have autism but it doesn’t mean that I am not smart. I want to become a radiology assistant and a journalist. Please join us at JoyDew, the more friends the better!

Gil 6.14.2023 I think taking perspective is really thinking about the other person in the room. I think it is about being nice because it shows that you are caring. But you know it is not the easy thing to do. It is the thing that I strive for.

Yes I think we are here to do the thinking the right way. This means that we can't ignore what is going on around me. I think that the hard time to take perspective is when I am in pain in the red zone. My mom wants to help me but sometimes she can’t because I just need to take some space and drink some water to feel calm.

My mom and dad think that I am very smart and funny. They think I am the best radiology assistant. My brother is Tal. He thinks I am the best brother and friend even though we don’t always get along everyday. We can take perspective and this can help my family and all my friends at JoyDew.

It takes many to understand one

My name is William, you can call me Will. As a non-speaking person, a picture of growth really gives me hope. I am mostly upbeat. It gives me kinship to understand making art on social media. I am an advocate for autism. I have spoken at many cities and conferences. We are looking to bring many new members to JoyDew! Join us today.

William 6.1.2023 To take on another perspective is to see things from a different life. There is a lot of knowledge to bring back from other people. I think sometimes about being a kid questioning the adults that did not understand my feelings. They did not know how to talk to me and I couldn't talk to them. I know that my mom thinks I’m a smart man. She goes out of her way to give me a chance to speak at big events. She believed in me when no one else did. My family knows I am a loving person that has a good heart. My friends would say I'm funny. They like to value their time with me. You never know what happens inside a person’s mind.

Team

Tal 5.25.2023 I would define the team as the ball .

It is the ball because we have funlike a party.

It is the place where we can just have my best friends and have our own goals that we accomplish together.

The three things a good team needs is the good leader, the good communication and the problem solving skills.

I learned this from my best friend Kathryn and the other staff members Frank and Michelle. They are the team because they support each other and help each other to be the best staff ever.

Teamwork is fine

Vahe 5.19.2023 Working together is part of being a team. Qualities of being a team are working together, and another is paying attention, and finally being respectful. Getting along with everyone. Being with people and working together is my favorite part about teamwork because I like to have friends. One challenge is not getting along all the time with everyone. What makes it hard is when people fight and don’t get along. Sometimes it depends on how I feel. I help others at JoyDew by supporting them by encouraging them and making them laugh.

Being deaf

Tal 3.21.2023 I Think that deaf people have to be thinking more. That might come as the obvious but some people don't realize. Deaf people have to think more than others because many times we have to understand everything in ways that can make information understandable.

Being a person who is deaf and non speaking makes it even worse. It's worse because most people that are around you didn't believe you can do much. I think it is really affected how i see myself. It's hard to hear how people talk about me when your brain is always working to solve problems that others didn't know were a problem. I think these barriers I overcame make me want to use the ci (Cochlear Implant) less. Think that I have overcome these problems till now. I know I can manage them in the future. Even though wearing my ci would make my life easier i want prove all the things i can do as a deaf person with autism

Think the best you to have the is the good to keep me for the good

MY IRELAND VACATION

MY NAME IS JULIAN REISS. I WAS 12 YEARS OLD WHEN I STARTED SPEAKING. NOW I WORK AT JOYDEW. JOYDEW IS A GOOD TEAM. WE HOPE TO HAVE NEW FRIENDS IN JOYDEW NOW!

Julian 3.26.2024 MY FAVORITE VACATION WAS IRELAND. I WENT A FEW YEARS AGO WITH MY FAMILY. I SAW ALOT AND WENT TO THE BEACH AND MANY RESTAURANTS. I WOULD WANT MY FRIENDS TO GO. I WOULD GO BACK TO IRELAND. I LIKED GOING ON THE PLANE. I REALLY LIKED THE HOTEL WE STAYED AT. THEY HAD A POOL I WENT SWIMMING IN. I WILL LIKE TO GO TO NEW YORK CITY NEXT!

Radiology Future

Gil 5.9.2023 I think 10 years from now is a long time.

My big dream is to be a radiology assistant.

I want to work at JoyDew when I am really old.

I think it is time for me to teach classes.

Really good to have the chance to share what I have learned.

There was one time that I made a class for the program.

The presentation is something that I was passionate about.

I don’t think there is too much for me to improve.

In the future I think I will be going to more classes.

When I am upset I can calm down faster, because I will have the skills and signs to use.

I think it is on my bucket list to go to many places tomorrow.

The things I have at home are my parents who are great.

They are good and have the understanding. They also push me to be my best.

My home has a lot of art from the best New Jersey artists.
