Lol
I know a lot of you are professionals here (I hope some of you are not lying lol) could you guys help me in writing the introduction? how do I start it to catch the readers attention? Our topic is about parents raising children diagnosed with ASD. I tried googling tips or methods but my brain is already fried. Should I start the intro with parenting? followed by what is autisim & the prevalence? To how hard and challenge it is to raise children diagnosed with asd? To why we choose to conduct this study? My aim is to narrow down the broad topic (like the inverted triangle thingy).
Please don't yell at me and this is a genuine question from a student who doesn't have someone to ask about this.
Well I'm not exactly.. a thesis writer or anythijg of the sort but I do alot of speech writing and speaking so me personally if I had a topic such as ASD I'd start with a scenario based opening or a real life example, if your goal is to catch the readers attention, starting with a question is also good, and asking them about their opinions is also good but I don't know if that's what you're asking..
mm so.. your introduction entirely depends on how you are directing the topic
You want to explain the hardships of being a parent of an chil with autism?
Do you want to explain autism and how parents influence it?
Do you want to take a stands on the wrong doings of parenting an autistic child?
I made a project abt autism in women a few years ago, I started by criticizing the medical system then stating how the stereotypes damage people with ASD. Then moved on to explain the hardships of autism in women + the symptoms.
The way I structured my work had the intention of criticize society and educate others, if I wanted to do it from a different perspective the whole introduction would've started completely differently
I won’t go too into depth because if I do, I’ll just ramble.
If you want to write something engaging, be that a thesis or a piece of fiction, you need to open with stakes. Writing about children diagnosed with ASD? Well, why should I care about your approach? There are hundreds of papers out there that tackle this issue, from parenting, to the medical field, to education. What makes your approach different and why should the board care?
If you want to work on a child’s emotional development and self-esteem, you need to establish what emotional development and self-esteem are and why that’s important. If you’re writing about the importance of children having a say in their treatment, you need to define what a “say” is. Is it just a choice between therapy or none, or are you going to go into a full blown IEP with them in the room?
Define your terms and give them reasons to care.
Feel free to share your thoughts guys, idc if you write two pages essay as long as it can help me I'm gonna read tha. Currently I'm looking for the gap on the law mandated for asd in our country specially law for the parents since they are the participants of our study. (though it's quite hard lol, so rn I'm trying to compare it with the law from other countries to see what we are lacking).
One of the comment here is so weird to me, cuz they literally mentioned some of Kim Dan's "disorder or disability" (i lack better description, but they talk about his lack of balance, stuttering, etc,) and they immediately thought that the author is making the character a baby????? I was like, whattt??? Gurl/broo, what are talking about??? Some adults has these traits, some of them have them as disabilities, and that didn't occured to you? You immediately thought about the author infantalizing the character??? Mind you, it's very evident in the story that Kim Dan is depressed and struggling rn, everyone can see it, and no one thought of it as him being a baby or the author making him a baby. Everyone else here see it as an adult with depression, an adult who struggles mentally and financially, an adult who is overwork and needs help.
This just shows that a vid from a tiktok that I've seen years ago was kinda right, some people don't see adults with disorder or disability as adults with disability or disorder, they sometime see them as a baby, treat them like a baby, see the disorder/disability as cutesy-cutesy when the person is conventionally attractive, & will eventually disdain the person when these "cutesy-cutesy" traits they see starts to affect them also negatively. Really interesting and baffling at the same time.
That’s actually kinda disgusting someone even thinks that … if they do they are to young to be reading Yaoi and clearly don’t know what depression is
