For this assignment, you will select a topic and write an informative essay. Begin by selecting a
topic that you are interested in (Autism) and about which you would like to learn more. Keep in mind,
though, that informative writing is neutral and objective, aiming to enlighten the reader without
attempting to persuade. Therefore, you should select a topic that you can approach in an
unbiased manner throughout your research and writing process. Keep in mind that this essay is
only 3-4 pages, so select a topic that is focused enough for you to address in that span. …….
