Autism Persuasive Speech

730 Words3 Pages

Imagine being viewed by the world as different. Wouldn’t you want the people around you to understand? A 12-year-old boy diagnosed with autism was told he was not equal to his classmates. He had a hard time identifying social cues and a difficult time speaking, thus he was labeled “weird” and “an outsider”. The young boy did not like the way he was feeling or being treated so he decided to do something about it. He knew his peers did not know or understand anything about the subject of Autism. So, on Autism Awareness Day he asked his teacher if it would be alright to share a powerpoint covering the topic of autism. This opened everyone up to a whole new world. He started to become accepted as a student just like them. He even made some friends along the way. Not only did he help people understand just him, but all the other students attending his school with autism. His goal in life is to help the world gain a knowledge and understanding of autism in the hopes that people will be more accepting of others.

All it takes is a dollar or a walk and encouraging others to do the same. There are so many great organizations such as Autism Speaks which I mentioned before. All donations contribute to determining what causes Autism so we can prevent it from happening in the first place and find a cure to help those currently suffering from its detrimental effects. These children and families are calling for your help. And with it, you can be today 's hero. With your help, and the help of others, anything is possible. As my mom always tells me, change starts with you. Will you be the one to help that one lonely child on the school bus? Will you be the one to help that young 12-year-old boy and all those like him find a friend and be understood? Will you be the one to improve the lives of those with autism today and be better than ever

    Throughout the empathy and short story unit I learned about how you can see the world differently through different perspectives. I learned that you can see the world differently through watching and reading movies and stories. You can learn to see the world differently by watching the movie “Temple Grandin”, reading “Thank you, M’am”, “War of the Wall”, and a few other short stories. In the movie “Temple Grandin” I learned that when you have autism that it can be difficult to learn how everyone else is leading in the classroom.

    You brought up an interesting topic that I usually find very fasinating. As you mention, some people belie baby talk delays baby development and Anne Fernald suggest talk to babies in a high pitch tone. My question, if babies, could hear and learned from the womb doesn’t tone of our voice truly matter? Studies of newborn behavior show that babies get used to the music and voices they 've heard in the womb. When your baby is born, if he hears sounds he 's heard before birth, he/he may respond by appearing more alert and active.

  • Self-Consciousness In High School

    To a 13-year-old teenager in high school, who you are means everything. You are the outfit you decide to wear to school, the way your hair sits on your head, the way you read a passage in class, and the speed at which you walk in the halls. Other students know when you wear the same shirt twice, get a bad and embarrassing haircut, or mispronounce a word while you read a passage aloud, and they will call you out for it. They will comment on the attributes that you are most sensitive about—ones you may not be able to control—making you dread walking in the halls alone. Self-consciousness develops with every move you make and every word you say.
