Unit 3

Hello everyone!
So I have the topic I want to write about for my paper, Autism… However I cannot come up with a good name or thesis statement for my paper. I was hoping I could bounce a few idea off everyone and get some input. :)

Name:
1. Early diagnosis of autism
2. Benefits of early diagnosis of autism
3. Autism: Knowing early is better
4. Autism

Thesis:
So for my thesis I know I want to talk about many different thing, what autism is, statistics, different therapies for autistic children, routines for both parent and child, as well as more I am sure. I am just not sure how to write a thesis statement for it. Here are a few of my ideas...

1.With numbers on the rise for children with autism find out early in life is best for everyone in the child's life. It helps parents to adjust to life having a child with autism, helps the child figure out how to cope with situations, as well as (help here I don't know)

2. Children with autism are growing in numbers this is why it is important for both parents and children to find out early in life. The earlier a child is diagnosed gives the family more time to adjust to the idea of having a child with autism as well as getting new routines down and starting therapies early.

I am really stuck with these. PLEASE HELP!


On to the next topic for this week... I love love love love being an online student! The fact that I can do the work on my own schedule is GREAT!!!! I also like the fact that there is still some structure to the classes too. I know there are some classes out there that you can take online that you can do them all in however long it takes you but I don't think you can actually learn something from those classes and retain the information. The one thing that I don't like is I cant put faces with names.

Now that I am taking this writing class and we have this blog I think its great because I can put faces with names now. Also with the blog I am encourage to write more. Its great.
