5 pages* on how the character(s) in Life Animated may (or may not be) an inspiration for the parents of autistic children. Please keep in mind that you can use the other resources as well, but there MUST be in text citations of the book, so the book must be used. I will say that again, the book MUST be used. The other “references” can be used in any order but 2 must be selected, the book is 1 source that MUST be used.
