Rationale: First person recovery narratives are an important source of materials that can help us refocus our thinking beyond an outdated disability as a deficit perspective.
Autobiographical accounts serve as a strong testament to the inherent strengths of people who face the challenge of disability. This assignment requires your group to reflect on narratives and help you, as practitioners, understand and respect diversity within the culture, lived experience and life context of individuals we serve.
The person we are writing on is Robin Williams
My part is to write on the autobiography of the man, just be sure to include in the autobiography what point in his life his symptoms started to appear

a summary and discussion of the media/source
an analyses and discussion of the media/source using a minimum 2-3 course content and/or themes

Write Up: Each group will submit a brief synopsis (summary) of your First-Person Narrative assignment, outlining your thoughts and perceptions on your chosen
population/individual before completing this assignment and after completing this assignment.
4) The write-up should include a question that resonates with you or that you would like to explore further that relates to your first-person narrative (you will come up with this question yourself).
