“Stop, take a minute and think about your life.” Well this is exactly what I had to do to complete this assignment. The disability that I decided to imagine myself with was autism and being verbal. To be a student who has autism would mean that they could have trouble communicating what they want, have trouble in social situations, and they could have specific sensitivities to sound and/or touch.
