Write a 7-8 page term paper analyzing and synthesizing information on Autism Spectrum Disorder. The paper should include an introduction indicating why the student is interested in the topic, a review of professional literature on the topic, and a discussion section analyzing the applicability of the topic to life and the student’s career goals.
The submitted paper must adhere to the following guidelines:
Must follow APA format (title page, table of contents, abstract, organization into sections/subsections, correct headings, citations within the paper, and list of references)
Must be typed, double spaced, and in 12pt. font of an academically acceptable typeface.
Must be no more than 8 pages and no less than 7 pages in length excluding title page, table of content, abstract, and list of references.
Must include at least 5 references from other professional psychology sources besides the textbook such as books, published articles, and information from professional organizations’ websites. (A list of the references in APA format must be attached to the paper). Students are discouraged from utilizing the textbook extensively as a resource since the information therein is already the focus of the course.
Any information that is not originally from the student must be supported with citation from professional psychology. Plagiarism will lead to a failing grade for the paper, or for the course, depending on the gravity.
Must demonstrate appropriate use of grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and writing mechanics.
