Methods of working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
BÁRTOVÁ, Barbora
This bachelor's thesis deals with methods od working with children with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to analyze these methods and find out which methods are the most used. Furthermore, the bachelor's thesis focuses on which aids are most used for working with children with autism spectrum disorders. The practical part was processed using a qualitative research strategy. The qualitative research strategy was implemented through semi-structured interviews with therapists working with children with autism spectrum disorder in preschool age. The research results were processed using open coding and subsequent categorization. The empirical part describes what methods of work and what aids we can use when working with children with ASD and which of these methods and aids are the most suitable. The research revealed the O.T.A. (Open Therapy of Autism) as the most used method for working with children with ASD in preschool age, music therapy and art therapy are also very popular within the intervention. Another suitable intervention method is the structured learning method. In practice, various relaxation aids are used, such as relaxation music, or the projection of shapes on the wall; aids for motor skills or communication training; pictograms for orientation in everyday activities. Electronic devices are also widely used, especially the iPad. We will probably never be able to claim with certainty which method is the most suitable, but it is certain that if we look at the individuality, uniqueness of the child, we will try to understand him as much as possible and get to know him. The bachelor thesis can be used as a theoretical guide to how to work with children with autism spectrum disorder.

Perception of the female role in a group of women with an autism spectrum disorder
VLČKOVÁ, Pavla
This bachelor's thesis is devoted to the topic " Perception of the female role in a group of women with an autism spectrum disorder". The reason for choosing this topic is the absence of knowledge. The aim of this thesis is to fill this gap and bring new knowledge that might help in education and general approach to people with an autism spectrum disorder. The thesis also brings a view of adolescent women on their approach to the female role. What symbolizes the female role. How do they relate the female role to their person. The research was carried out using a qualitative strategy, a method of interviews with adolescent women and their mothers. The interviews were studied, and their connections were evaluated. The information obtained showed that adolescent women with autism spectrum disorder are extremely influenced in the perception of the female role by their mothers, as mothers were brought up according to a long-standing grounded stereotype. I can assume that the obtained information may be a benefit to mothers of adolescent women with autism spectrum disorder in the future. It also can make mothers do not act so much according to the grounded stereotype and leave their teenage daughters the opportunity to form their own view of the female role.

Young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their employment possibilities
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Denisa
The bachelor's thesis deals with the employment of people with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to approach the issue of employment in the labour market for people with ASD and at the same time describe the specifics of employing people with ASD and further connect the results with potential employers and acquaint the general public with the positives of employing people with ASD. Qualitative research was used to fulfil the above goal. With this chosen strategy, the research sample was selected through institutions that deal with the issue of ASD. The first research sample represent parents and children with autism spectrum disorder, and the next research sample are social inclusion workers. Data were obtained by the method of questioning, the technique of semi-controlled interview. Then, the data were evaluated by using open coding method followed by data categorization. The results show that people with ASD do not have much experience in employment and they mentioned employers as one of the prime reasons who are not inclined to offer positions to people with autism spectrum disorder. Despite offering them a number of benefits, both economic and individual. This bachelor's thesis and its findings can be useful as a warning to the general public and professionals interested in the issue of ASD. Another benefit can be considered an increase in awareness and the notion of employers about the employability of people with ASD - that's means factors and specifics associated with the employment of these individuals. Lastly, I would also mention the benefits for organizations in using new knowledge from practice.

Emotional transition and nonstructural changes in mouse models of autism
Nováková, Rozálie ; Kubik-Zahorodna, Agnieszka (advisor) ; Bendová, Zdeňka (referee)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by repetitive behaviour and impairments in social behaviour and social communication. The whole aetiological heterogeneity is still not fully elucidated. It is then very important to focus on experimental research, especially on animal models, to help with drug development and recovery. To broaden the variability of focus of behavioural tests on mouse sociability, a new modification of a test to assess transfer of emotional information was proposed. A similar test was published recently for the first time, but it is still not common to use it in mice. Results show that it is possible to measure transfer of fear between conspecifics only during their immediate direct encounter through behavioural evaluation, but not in further standardised anxiety-evaluating tests. Self-grooming behaviour was the only parameter significantly affected by transferred anxiety in the experimental setup used, and therefore should be considered as the most sensitive behavioural parameter describing animal emotional state. However, the variability in individual animal behaviour is still considerably large, which confounds the results to a great degree. Such a behavioural test for transfer of emotional information may be especially useful in...

Types of support, which families caring for a child with autism spectrum disorder can use
Englichová, Lucie ; Kopsa Těšinová, Jolana (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the support of families of children with severe autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It takes into account the gaps in support, which have been pointed out in recent years by both researchers and the target group itself. It sums the needs of these families, explaining them in the context of the current state of social politics. The aim is to reflect on the needs of these specific families and what kind of help is provided in the field of social benefits and social services. It simultaneously aims to reveal how key social politics work in practice in relation to people caring for children with severe ASD and to identify possible deficits of such politics. The theoretical part maps the theory of implementation, individual approaches to implementation and problematic factors. The practical part uses qualitative approach. Data was gathered by the means of semi-structured interviews with five experts on the issue. The research had shown that within the Czech republic there is still a lack of services capable of serving the needs of children with severe ASD. The incapacity is caused by a general underfinancing of the social sector and also by the system of distribution of the state-provided grants. The research also suggests that factors contributing to the current state are...
