Ukuba ungumntu othanda i-intanethi ngohlobo lwe-Instagram, iYouTube, okanye iTumblr, mhlawumbi uye waqaphela umkhwa othile ongena kukutya kwakho mva nje: I-Slime. Hayi, ayilo goop eluhlaza ukusukela kumhla kaNickelodeon; le slime intle, ngokukhawuleza kwaye eyona fad intsha ye-Instagram . I-slime yanamhlanje ikhangeleka njenge tofe ethambileyo, okanye intshungama, okanye ijeli, kunye neevidiyo zezandla ezintle ezisebenza ngokuxuba kunye nemibala, ubumenyemenye, ubuhlalu, nditsho nobuso iphelele kumnatha. Iakhawunti ye-Instagram esekwe kwi-Slime kunye nejelo le-YouTube linezigidi zabalandeli ezivelisa imali enkulu kubalawuli babo, ngakumbi abasetyhini abancinci, kwaye zibangela ukunqongophala kweBorax, esisithako esiphambili kwiindlela ezininzi zokupheka ze-DIY.
Ngelixa imeko igutyungelwe lonke mva nje, i Imvelaphi yeziganeko zihlala zimangalisa kwiintatheli ezininzi Kwaye bayazibhitya. Abadali bemixholo yesilayidi abadumileyo bayavuma ukuba bayifumene, bacinga yayibonakala intle ngokwenene, Kwaye baqala iiakhawunti zabo kuba kwakumnandi. Bafuna ukudlala ngebhitumene ngokwabo, kuba babeyibona kuyo yonke indawo. Kodwa ivelaphi? Kumanqaku amaninzi adityaniswe apha ngasentla, imvelaphi yendlela eshukunyiswa ngesandla ngathi ayifani, inye kuphela eyalatha kwi-boom imeko eqala ngehlobo le-2016 . Akukho manqaku endiwafundileyo malunga nendlela esiqwalasele ngayo, kum, njenge-Tumblr-er evuthayo, ubuncinci yayingumthombo omnye ocacileyo: i-online autistic yoluntu.
Okokuqala, imvelaphi ethile kunye nesayensi elula. I-Slime, njengesixhobo, sele ikho ixesha elide ngeendlela ezininzi. Ngama-90 abantwana sikhumbula iimveliso ezinjenge-Gak kunye ne-foam eziphatha njenge-slime. Isilayidi ngokwaso yinto ebizwa ngokuba yi Ulwelo olungelolwaseNewtonian , oko kuthetha ukuba ayilandeli ncam iipropathi zolwelo njengoko kubonwe nguIsaac Newton. Izinto ezingezoNewtonian zikhona phakathi kokuqina kunye nolwelo kwaye zineendlela zonke ezipholileyo. ( Jonga eli candelo leentsomi lokuhamba emanzini ngolunye lwezinto endizithandayo ). Abantwana badlala nge-slime ngalo lonke ixesha, kwaye ndiyazikhumbula iintsuku zokubuyela esikolweni xa sasenza Ooblek njengenguqulelo yethu yesilayidi. I-Slime iyonwabisa ukubukela nokudlala nayo, kwaye iyathuthuzela kakhulu, ngokubonakalayo, ngokubhaliweyo, nangokwemvelo, yiyo loo nto i-slime yathandwa ngabantu abonwabileyo okanye abafuna ukoyikwa.
Ixesha lokunciphisa linokuba litsha kuwe ukuba awazi mntu kuluntu olu-autistic okanye lwe-neurodivergent, kodwa yinto entle endala neyomeleleyo kwezi zangqa. Kwabanye abakwi-autism spectrum okanye abawela phantsi kweambrela ye-neurodivergent, ukuvuselela izivamvo zabo ngezandi, uburhabaxa, uxinzelelo, umbala, okanye ezinye izinto kunokuthoba kwaye kuzolise. Omnye umntu angabamba isiqwenga somkhenkce ukukhusela ukungazidibanisi okanye ukuzola kwisiqendu. Njengoko ezo zikwi-autistic spectrum ziveze izithuba ezikwi-intanethi, ukomelela kwidijithali kuye kwathandwa. Uyenza njani into kwi-Intanethi? Ewe, enye indlela kukubukela abantu bedlala ngesilayidi.
Kwi-Tumblr, ii-blogs ezikhuthazayo bezisaziwa kangangeminyaka emininzi. Omnye umsebenzisi weTumblr ndithethe naye, intlawulelo , waqala ukulandela iibhlog ezikhuthazayo ngo-2015, kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba i-slime craze isuse, kwaye ekugqibeleni wazenzela eyakhe ibhlog. Yena, njengeeblogi ezininzi ezikhuthazayo, wenza iizipho kwiividiyo-ezakhe okanye ezabanye'kwaye enze izithuba ze-gifs ezisekwe kwimixholo ethile. Ukwabelana ngomxholo owenziwe zezinye iiblogger, ezibonisa iividiyo, kunye neeseti ze-gif kunye nemifanekiso. Akunjalo nje nge-slime. Inokuba yiyo nantoni na ethomalisayo ukubukela, njengobisi olugalelwa ikofu okanye uxube ipeyinti. Ndizifumene ndibukele kwaye ndonwabela lo mxholo nanini na xa usenza i-Tumblr dash yam, enkosi kwii-blog ze-autistic kunye ne-neurodivergent endizilandelayo. Iibhloko ze-Slime kunye ne-stimming sele zijikeleze i-Tumblr kangangeminyaka emininzi, kude kube phakathi ku-2016 boom yesilayidi esiqhelekileyo. Oku kwakusoloko kungumxholo wam xa ndibona iividiyo zesilayidi, kwaye ke, kwakumangalisa kakhulu kum ukuba ndingaboni kukhankanywa kukonke kwingxelo yakutshanje ye-slime craze.
Oku kuyafana nesenzeko esibizwa Ukuzimela kweMpendulo yeMeridian , okanye i-ASMR, eqhushumbe kukuthandwa kwi-Intanethi, ebonakaliswa yimvakalelo yokutswina kunye nolonwabo, kunye nemo yokuziva uzolile okanye imincili. Ingabangelwa kukukhuthaza kwendlebe kunye nokubonakalayo, kwaye kukho lonke uhlobo lweevidiyo zeYouTube okanye amafu ezandi abelana ngomxholo owenzelwe ukukhuthaza i-ASMR. Njengokuncipha kunye nesilayidi, i-ASMR ibisaziwa kwaye isetyenziswa phakathi kwe-autistic kunye ne-neurodivergent yabantu ixesha elide, ngokunjalo. Ngamafutshane, ukubukela into efana nevidiyo yesilayidi kwenza ukuba ingqondo nomzimba wakho wonwabe ngokufanayo, kwaye kwabo bane-autism okanye ezinye iimeko, abanobuchopho kunye nemizimba yabo esebenzisana kwaye baphendule ngokwahlukileyo kunabanye, oko kuyanyanga.
Ukulandela umkhondo apho iividiyo ze-slime, i-ASMR, kunye ne-stimming zisuswe kuluntu lwase-niche zaya kwi-Instagram craze inzima, kwaye andinakugxeka ezinye iintatheli ngokungasifumani isiguli zero kwezi zinto, kodwa ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukuyamkela loo nto lo mkhwa unemvelaphi yawo, ubuncinci kwinxalenye, kunye noluntu olu-autistic kunye nolungafunekiyo. Kukwabalulekile ukuba ungagxothi indawo enonyango lokwenyani kunye nezibonelelo ezizezakho kubantu abaninzi be-neurodivergent njenge, njengokuba omnye umbhali ebeka, phantse emva kwexesha langoku ngokubonakala kwayo. Kubantu ezo vidiyo kunye nokuthotywa ngokubanzi kunokuba yintuthuzelo yokwenene, ukufunda imeko evele kwindawo yabo engenantsingiselo ayisiyonyeliso kuphela, kodwa ivaliwe.
I-Slime kunye ne-stimming ayisiyiyo eyokuqala, kwaye ndiqinisekile ukuba abayi kuba ngabokugqibela, iziganeko eziye zasuka kuluntu olungathathi ntweni zaya kwezona ziqhelekileyo. Kulo nyaka, sabona nefashoni yeefidget spinner kunye nezinto eziqhumayo. Oko kwaqala njengesixhobo sonyango kwabo bane-ADHD yaba yinto yokudlala eyaziwayo kuye wonke umntu. Ngee-fidget spinner ngokunjalo, imvelaphi yefad ilahlekile, nangona ingekho kwinqanaba elifanayo nesilayidi. Ndiyathandabuza ukusebenzisa ulwabiwo-mali, kuba ndiyakholelwa ngokupheleleyo ukuba nabani na kufuneka avunyelwe ukuba onwabele isilima (kunye nokujikeleza okujikelezayo) ukuba unqwenela njalo, kodwa kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuba zivela phi ezi fashoni, ngakumbi xa zivela kuluntu lwabantu eziqhubeka nokungaqondwa kakuhle kwaye zihlala zimelwa kakubi kwimidiya.
Ukuqonda ukunciphisa, ukuthambisa, i-ASMR, kunye nendlela ezinxibelelana ngayo ne-autism kunye nezinye iimeko zovakalelo okanye zemithambo-luvo, kunokunceda abanye baqonde amava e-neurodivergence. Ukuba unosuku olubi kwaye uwa phantsi emngxunyeni womvundla wokubukela iividiyo zesilayidi kwi-Instagram kangangeyure kuba iyacamngca, iyathoba, okanye iyamangalisa, cinga ukuba kutheni abanye benokubukela umxholo omnye. Inokuba kuphela kwendlela yokuba umntu azive esekhaya emzimbeni wakhe, okanye agxile kuyo yonke into, okanye ajongane nesiqendu sokuzibandakanya okanye ukugcwala ngokweemvakalelo. Iibhloko ezikhuthazayo kunye nevidiyo ze-slime zenze ukuba oku kufikeleleke kuthi sonke, kwaye yinto entle kakhulu leyo. Ingqondo yomntu iyamangalisa kwaye iyimfihlakalo ngeendlela esisaqala ukuziqonda. Njengokuba ezi ndlela zonyango zixhaphake, akufuneki silibale ukuba inokuba sisikhuthazo esingenantsingiselo kwabanye, inokuba yinyango yokwenyani kwaye ibalulekile kwabanye.
