Help me with our thesis

tongtong March 28, 2025 3:29 pm

Lol

I know a lot of you are professionals here (I hope some of you are not lying lol) could you guys help me in writing the introduction? how do I start it to catch the readers attention? Our topic is about parents raising children diagnosed with ASD. I tried googling tips or methods but my brain is already fried. Should I start the intro with parenting? followed by what is autisim & the prevalence? To how hard and challenge it is to raise children diagnosed with asd? To why we choose to conduct this study? My aim is to narrow down the broad topic (like the inverted triangle thingy).


Please don't yell at me and this is a genuine question from a student who doesn't have someone to ask about this.

    Well I'm not exactly.. a thesis writer or anythijg of the sort but I do alot of speech writing and speaking so me personally if I had a topic such as ASD I'd start with a scenario based opening or a real life example, if your goal is to catch the readers attention, starting with a question is also good, and asking them about their opinions is also good but I don't know if that's what you're asking..

    If you aren't speaking or presenting, and instead are writing then it can be opened using common notions

    mm so.. your introduction entirely depends on how you are directing the topic
    You want to explain the hardships of being a parent of an chil with autism?
    Do you want to explain autism and how parents influence it?
    Do you want to take a stands on the wrong doings of parenting an autistic child?

    I made a project abt autism in women a few years ago, I started by criticizing the medical system then stating how the stereotypes damage people with ASD. Then moved on to explain the hardships of autism in women + the symptoms.
    The way I structured my work had the intention of criticize society and educate others, if I wanted to do it from a different perspective the whole introduction would've started completely differently

    Hello thank you for this! I'm actually planning to write about a scenario that the readers can imagine, like putting them on the position of the parents but I'm not sure if its allowed so I'm trying to gather different options.

    I won’t go too into depth because if I do, I’ll just ramble.

    If you want to write something engaging, be that a thesis or a piece of fiction, you need to open with stakes. Writing about children diagnosed with ASD? Well, why should I care about your approach? There are hundreds of papers out there that tackle this issue, from parenting, to the medical field, to education. What makes your approach different and why should the board care?

    If you want to work on a child’s emotional development and self-esteem, you need to establish what emotional development and self-esteem are and why that’s important. If you’re writing about the importance of children having a say in their treatment, you need to define what a “say” is. Is it just a choice between therapy or none, or are you going to go into a full blown IEP with them in the room?

    Define your terms and give them reasons to care.

    Yes that a good structure to follow but remember to not go into tangent and remember to always focus on what you want to solve/aims of your study.

    Avoid unnecessary things and get straight to the point. You don't need to put all about your study in the introduction, you merely introducing it

    Thank you for this! And you're right looking at the introduction we wrote right now I feel like I info loaded the readers with citations, we forget to highlight why do we want to study this topic (the professor in our school called it generic I'm crying)

    Feel free to share your thoughts guys, idc if you write two pages essay as long as it can help me I'm gonna read tha. Currently I'm looking for the gap on the law mandated for asd in our country specially law for the parents since they are the participants of our study. (though it's quite hard lol, so rn I'm trying to compare it with the law from other countries to see what we are lacking).
