Blog #2 Response to Exercise to Controlling Bias

For me writing the response letter was easier for me, because I imagined the women I was writing to. I wanted to inform her on how wrong she was about the beliefs she had toward people with autism. Yes their lives are different from others, but they have the same amount of people who love them. Writing down my feelings about the letter, prevented me from educating people with negative feelings toward people with autism. I was just writing rude comments back, and let my personal feelings get in the way of changing some one’s view. Writing down just angry thoughts was not going to make a difference it would be like fighting fire with fire. I feel like giving facts to back up my opinions will me credit. It will show the reader I am not just making things up, and assure the mom that I have experience with working/living with people who have disabilities. My experience plus facts will have a better chance of changing her beliefs then disrespectful comments.
