No, I'm not a doctor; I don't take care of people like that. Instead, the treatment has an interpersonal and social integration focus. I think that this goes back to what the professor said earlier, that we need to change the way we think and live.
Social status is not important in our workshops. People come with their baggage and their backgrounds. It's the same thing for an autistic person, a person with autism spectrum disorder, or anything else. It's filmed and analyzed.
Here are the graphs that I left for you and that show the participation and concentration curve for each individual. Each colour represents an individual. From this graph, we can make pairings to put together groups that we would not think to put together. The idea is not to force the relationship, but to let it come together.
We work with participants who have some level of anxiety. We are managing to control that level.
We have also developed terms. An SO is a social opportunity, an SP is a social photo. An SS is a social stagnation. We are observing these three models, which help us create a profile for the person. One thing that is very important is working with the families. The families have access to the videos. Parents see me working with their child. Sometimes they aren't at all happy with what I'm doing, but they can see it.
It's a process of artistic creation. As a result, we don't put the authority of parents or doctors in jeopardy. It's a cultural process, a neutral place that allows freedom of expression. Thanks to that, so far the work we've done has been very good. We will also give the training in Paris and Tunisia. People already want this program. We would like to establish it in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Our partners are well-established. We need support to be able to take care of the research and development side of things. We have five or six possible training locations for various clients, for various participants, school settings, institutional settings and community organizations.
