essay on aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

For English class I have to write a four page essay to convince someone about something. I thought that I would choose to write about aspergers syndrome. But what could the paper be about? Could someone please give me an idea?

When I was in high school, it didn't matter what the assignment was, I wrote about motorcycles anyway.

I remember one time the teacher assigned us to write an essay on "Cheating in School" and within a paragraph, I was writing about motorcycles. She was a bit perturbed about that.

Back to the topic at hand. There are several things you could argue in a paper on Asperger's.

1) Argue for the changes in the DSM regarding the merger of Autism and Aspergers.
2) Argue against the changes in the DSM regarding the merger of Autism and Aspergers.
3) Argue that Aspergers does not predispose its victims to planning violence (as in school shootings) against others.
4) Argue why a cure for Aspergers or Autism would be a great thing.
5) Argue why a cure for Aspergers or Autism would not be a great thing.

If it were me, I'd probably take option 6:

6) Argue why people with Aspergers wouild be much better off riding motorcycles.

You could write a paper proving aspies are not phyco killers. Aspergers is autism. I knew a low functioning autistic. He was pretty similar to the high functioning aspie with selective mutism.

You could write about how people with aspergers do not care to convince others but what they think of themselves and their own interests matters.
