In Ann Bauer’s essay, “The new autism reality,” she not only focuses on her son’s autism, but also the stigma that comes with it.

Throughout the article, the reader can see her transition to accept it.…

An example of this would be they are creative with their thoughts, they like to challenge themselves, and they see each situation differently than the average human being.…
