    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. At first, the thought of autism repulses her and she describes the term as “monstrous”. She says this because autism where she used to live was not very common and people were not familiar with it. Bauer also admits to having very little knowledge of autism at this point. She gives credit to the movie, “Rain Man”, as her only understanding of it. Throughout the article, the reader can see her transition to accept it.…
