Read White Paper Basics And Review The Video To Answer The Following Q

Read White Paper Basics and review the video to answer the following questions. Please answer the following questions: 1. The CANRIGHT document discusses various types of white papers on pages 10-11. As you examine the white paper on autism, what type of white paper would you argue this is, based on the CANRIGHT document information? 2. What is the best aspect of the white paper on autism, and why do you think so? Please write one or two sentences in giving this answer. 3. Read through the Previous Approaches section. Are there areas that would benefit from more research and more citing of sources? If so, provide two areas in the paper that show this need. 4. Please examine the executive summary. What grammar error do you notice in the following text from the executive summary? People with autism are characterized as having difficulties with speech and social skills, repetitive behaviors or speech, and heightened sensory sensitivity. As seen below in Figure 1, Autism is not just one thing. It is a myriad of components, each exhibiting it's own set of challenges. 5. Would this white paper benefit from additional graphics? If so, in what part of the paper would you recommend a graphic to help illustrate the point being made?

Paper For Above instruction

The white paper on autism can be categorized as a descriptive or informational white paper based on the CANRIGHT document, which primarily aims to inform readers about autism's complexities, challenges, and current approaches. Specifically, it falls into the informational type, as it provides an overview of autism characteristics, research areas, and intervention strategies without proposing a specific product or policy. The focus is on educating the audience about the multifaceted nature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (CANRIGHT, 2023).

The most commendable aspect of the white paper is its comprehensive overview of autism's diverse symptoms and challenges. This clarity helps readers understand the spectrum's breadth, making complex information accessible and emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions. Its detailed descriptions foster awareness and empathy, which are crucial for advancing research and support efforts.

Regarding the Previous Approaches section, two areas that would benefit from more research and citations are: (1) the section discussing intervention strategies, where specific programs are mentioned but lack recent supporting citations to validate their effectiveness; and (2) the section on sensory processing difficulties, which mentions general challenges but could enhance credibility with recent studies and data. More references to current research would strengthen the section’s authority and provide readers with actionable insights based on the latest findings.

In examining the executive summary, the grammatical error is the misuse of the possessive "it's" instead of the correct "its" in the phrase, "each exhibiting it's own set of challenges." The correct form should be "its" because it is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership of "own set of challenges." This error slightly undermines the professionalism of the summary and could distract attentive readers.

Adding graphics to the white paper would significantly enhance comprehension and engagement. I recommend incorporating a visual diagram of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to illustrate its multidimensional aspects mentioned in the executive summary. Additionally, infographics summarizing intervention strategies and their effectiveness could help distill complex information, making it more accessible to a broad audience and facilitating better understanding of the various components involved.
