Why? Because for the first time ever, I had a book whose heroine I could relate to. An autistic woman with tragedy in her past that thought herself a monstrous freak. I cried reading Water Bound that night and I'm not a crying person. Not only was Rikki an autistic woman, but she was intelligent, not centring herself around math and science (which I strongly avoid), and she was mistreated by 'the system' for being different.

I thought I already knew Pamela very well, but when I started to shadow her and see how hard she works, I saw a whole different person. She wasn’t just someone I saw every day, she was someone I saw determination and excitement in, no matter what she was doing or how hard it was. I also learned that I couldn’t say I truly understand a person and what they’re going through unless I hop into their skin and walk around in it. She shared with me a famous quote by Thomas J. Watson, “If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less than excellent work.”
Violette Szabo’s dedication was beyond what anyone asked of her,
She was able to push aside her fear to save a life, which is a great model of selflessness. Power can be gained by making these strenuous decisions to protect, assist, and liberate those who need it.

When reading autobiographies written by people with disabilities, a source of tension can sometimes be found between the author and the mediatory forces which surround their writing process. When reading such texts about individuals with intellectual disabilities, however, this tension colors every inch of the text, from its organizational structure to the progression of its narrative. In the case of memoirs such as Rachel Simon’s Riding the Bus with my Sister and Jason Kingsley and Mitchell Levitz’s Count Us In, the various forms of narrative mediation present essentially warp the texts into providing narratives exclusively targeted at a non-disabled audience. To elaborate, their stories prioritize portraying an overcoming narrative of sorts, a specific style of storytelling

When a child is diagnosed with autism or autism spectrum disorder, it means that the child is having challenges and difficulties with their “social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences” (What is Autism?, 2018). There are many strengths and weaknesses that a child can have when they are autistic, however, not every child will have the same strengths or weakness.

I do this because I am dedicated to making good grades and finishing school to better my life and the lives of my family. Dedication is doing what is best and maybe even harder if that means you get to your goal. Dedication is normally not the easy route but, the hard one; the one that makes you second guess why you even started, but deep inside you know that this is the only one for you. This is when you know you are truly
It is important to be educated about sensitive topics before writing irresponsible literature. The Curious Incident, written by Mark Haddon is a novel about a teenage boy, Christopher, who is ignorantly portrayed as autistic, based off of common stereotypes. Christopher finds a dead dog in his neighborhood and later learns that his father is the murderer. He then goes on a dangerous adventure to find his mom in London by himself. In the novel, The Curious Incident, Mark Haddon inaccurately and irresponsibly represents autism by doing no research before writing the book, putting Asperger’s on the book jacket, and stereotyping a mental disorder whilst having no knowledge of it.
