Shakespeare's unveiled tragedies: Macbeth and the three witches

Shakespeare wrote many tragedies, including Macbeth. Ilani and I analysed act 4, scene 1 about Macbeth and the three witches in a podcast episode. Then we recreated the scene, using different objects for sounds and intonation in our voices.

The objects that we used:

Water in a bowl, lucifer, boiling water in a pan, keys, wooden owl, spoon and plastic tubes, ...

What are the language and communication problems faced by people with autism?

Motivation

We can express ourselves in a language, we use hand gestures and sometimes even expressions. When we have really mastered a language, we can even make jokes in it. Unfortunately, this is not the case for everyone. Therefore, my research question looks at people with autism, who often have difficulties with this. I personally know some people with autism in my family, so I thought it would be interesting to look deeper into the subject. I chose autism because I am interested in the differences in learning and communicating in a language. Where are the differences and the similarities? What are the difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication?

I want to compare different sources and studies. Raising awareness about this topic is crucial, especially among an often huge group of uninformed people.

I don't know much about autism yet and that's why I find it all the more interesting to research it. I am starting with an open mind and I hope to broaden and improve my knowledge. I hope to show that everyone is unique and that everyone faces challenges, with some possibly facing more difficulties than others.
