Junior Theme #3

After about another week of research, I have found my topic to be even more interesting than I though it would be. I have chosen to interview a special education teacher at a Transition School (18-22 year olds), but I have not been able to contact her as of yet.
I finshed my book last night. The only usuable part for my paper was the first half, or when the narrator was in primary and secondary school, but it was still interesting to read about the full like of an undiagnosed woman with autism. She went through her whole life, or at least until she was 26, before knowing what exactly she had, with people for the first 26 years of her life just calling her "disturbed" or "slow." It is really interesting to see the world through the lens of someone with autism, especially because I spend 2 periods of every school day with students who have the disease. Now, I can actually understand where they are coming from, and exactly why they do not feel emotions or even have that much communication with "our world" versus "their own world."
For my paper, I have only written an introduction, but I am very satisfied with it. I plan to write about a paragraph each night, and the next section of our paper is due Monday.
