The first genre I did for my research on autism awareness is a character profile featuring myself. What a typical character profile look like is a picture of that person along with information such as name, age, hobbies, race, etc. I choose the character profile because, as a person with mild autism, I simply wanted to show that people with autism can have similar interests and abilities with others. Throughout my life, I always feel a bit different from other people and couldn’t express my own feelings without being judged. Over the years, I did found a few people that accept me as a person and I was very comfortable to express my personality. I still have my moments but at least I feel a bit more comfortable expressing what I want to express. …show more content…
In my research paper, I mentioned how autism behavior affect each gender. Autism occurs mostly on males so it was interesting how it affects girls since it is not as common. I choose the pamphlet because it is a great way to display any information about autism to other people, especially the way I made the pamphlet a bit different in terms of information. While it does have basic statistics in the pamphlet about autism, I included the information from my research into the pamphlet based on gender. I believe it would work as a rhetoric because many people and families have misconceptions on autism and how it should be approached with their children. It also helps families to be able to accept and understand their child better. Basically, it helps them cope and what they should expect on each child. Many families tends to suffer with a lot more stress and frustration when dealing with their child with autism because of the way they tend to behave. With the information on the pamphlet, they may be able to help their kid with each obstacle the child …show more content…
I wrote a slam poetry because I want to write it the way a high-functioning autistic person would write if he/she wants to get his/her message across, if they are willingly to do it. In my essay, I explain how autism is some sort of rhetoric whether the child speaks or not as well as how autism is stereotyped in the media. I feel that a slam poetry would work because people can hear and understand from an actual person with autism. Of course every child with autism experience different symptoms so it may not be the best way to present overall. However, if the audience can understand and learn from even one person with autism, then it can send out a positive message. Plus, listening to slam poetry in a fun and creative way would really grab the audience’s attention. It would really persuade them to realize how people with autism are talented in their own way. With that alone, it can also defy many stereotypes and misunderstandings that autism is presented in the public
Let Me Hear Your Voice by Catherine Maurice is an autobiographical story from a mother’s perspective. It is a narrative that uses multiple different concepts that have been the focus of class lectures and textbook materials. It touches on different therapies used for children with autism and even focuses briefly on the controversial subject of inclusion verses exclusion. This book provides insight on a myriad of different emotions that parents experience, which is tough for an educator to otherwise understand. The individuals were relatable and the context was extremely easy to understand, without taking away from the medical terminology. This book was a useful resource, as well as an enjoyable heart warming tale.
To support my argument, I will need to inform my readers about the positive effects of antidepressants and then discuss governments role and how they can benefit from antidepressant drugs. My audience are my classmates (from many different backgrounds and studying different majors) and my professors. Although there is a wide range of articles and research on this topic, I believe the general public is not fully aware on the positive effects of antidepressants. My goal is that after reading my paper, the person will have a better understanding on the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs. I will be creating a research paper to explain my research and arguments to my audience. The printed copy of my paper will allow my readers to read my findings at their own pace and it will provide them with the easiest way to find the sources that I used to conduct further
To begin defines what autism is, and the stress that is bestowed onto the caregivers that support a child with this type of mental disability. Adam M. Hutton, the author, had conducted an interview of 21 families about the recognition, diagnosis of autism in their child, services accessed, and the impact of having a child with autism on their family. A common thread throughout the thesis is the empowerment of families, that have to endure the joys and hardships that come with having a child with specific needs. The author also encourages families to use the resources available to them to better care for this type of
Whilst the concept of autism and what it means to be autistic is still widely unrecognised by many, Mark Haddon’s use of conventions of prose fiction and language amplifies the distinctive qualities of the text. Haddon exemplifies key themes such as the struggle to become independent, the nature of difference and the disorder of life through the strategic placement of literary devices.
Dr. Kim Stringer, Pediatrics-Child Development, reached out to me to meet to discuss assisting a student with qualitative methods of research, mainly key informant interviews. The student’s project focuses on attitudes about autism. I wanted your thoughts before I proceed with anything.
In his essay "Autism and Culture," Joseph Straus discusses the recreation of the concept of autism as a cultural and social category rather than a medical one. He also discusses how, as autistic community has emerged, autistic people have begun to look for historical figures that could be identified as autistic. Straus calls this practice "extremely problematic" (Straus 464) because he feels that the concept of autism is a modern social construction and that classifying historical figures as autistic denies this. However, associating prominent historical figures with autism has the benefit of providing autistic communities with role models and a sense of community through their shared history. Attempting to diagnose historical figures with

My intended audience is anyone who is passionate about gender inequality or interested in that type of topic, the purpose of my piece was to inform people about a issue which is everywhere is this modern day world, As you can see my piece is a informative essay about gender inequality I have chosen this form because I believe it has a major part in the novel animal farm, the nature of the link is when the pigs (Napoleon, Squealer and Snowball) decide that they want the milk and apples to themselves so they tell the other that the milk and apples is good for there health this represents a strong link with gender inequality, the language I am using is informative and persuasive, it is appropriate/relevant to how the pigs in animal are not being

Children diagnosed with a Developmental Language Disorder at a young age benefit from early intervention. The earlier a child is able to receive treatment, the more effective the treatment will be. This article explains how most children diagnosed with autism earlier than 3 years of age retain that diagnosis when they turn 3. This diagnosis is critical because it can influence how the child receives early intervention. The goal of this study is to determine how accurately a child could be diagnosed with autism and retain that diagnosis 1 year later. The study also seeks to determine characteristics that children with autism demonstrate under the age of 3.
Understanding autism, which is professionally known as Autism Spectrum Disorder, otherwise known as (ADS) can be a difficult task, especially for someone who is not trained in helping persons with disabilities. The first person to discover autism was a child psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Kanner in 1943. He names the spectrum disorder after the Greek word autos, meaning of or for oneself, due to the way the child display social avoidance. Many doctors’ believed in the past that autism was caused by the way the mother not caring for her child properly or ignoring him or her. There was also a time when it was thought to be caused by certain environmental stresses that cause neurological issues within the brain. Autism is one of the most misunderstood
Autism is a problem that people have with communicating. It can affect many contrasting types of people in divergent ways and there is not yet a complete cure for it. People need to know about this disability and what people can do with people who have it.
...to grow and increase yearly, one can imagine the effect on society these rates already have, and can possibly have with continued growth. It will not be long before autism becomes the normal society. That is a concern will should all share as creatures of earth. All families that are faced with autism will find happiness with the life shared with an autistic individual. Sadly, these individuals face bullying, and social rejection. They deal with health care rejections, and limited services available into adulthood. A future unknown. Although these individuals are different, that doesn’t mean they are less. As humanity, we need to treat everyone as an equal part of this important reality we call existence. Autistic individuals are the quietest souls, but that may only be because we haven’t learned to pay attention. Autism speaks, so isn’t it time to listen (htt1)?
Ever since I met my first autistic friend, I’ve been so fascinated about this disorder that I would do plenty of research to understand her. To this day I am very fascinated with autism and how it affects people differently, but also the fact that I am studying to be a Psychologist to specialize in kids with autism.
