For this assignment, you are to make a linguistic autobiography research paper that connects your experience as a user of one or more American language to concepts covered throughout this course. Reflect on how your experience as a speaker/signer of a language has been formed and about who or what has been part of this formation. You should contextualize your experiences in the larger social setting and explore how these experiences have shaped your own attitudes about language.

Question: So I'm writing a paper for my linguistics class, and my thesis statement is as follows: "While some may see my childhood apraxia of speech as a hindrance, I see it as a unique perspective on language."

Are there any linguistic vocabulary words in relation to my thesis (my life with CAS), or any body paragraph ideas to help argue for my thesis? I have some ideas but I wanted to get some inspiration.
