Amanda Baggs’ writing definitely feels different than a lot
of writer’s works. She is very blunt and straight-forward in her thoughts. She wants to share the honest truth with her readers. She also just wants to get her point across, so she
does. She doesn't spend time trying to connect with her audience and make them like her. In fact, in many of her entries, she treats all of the audience as the same, as the people who she's angry with. But she doesn't care about how her audience
feels, she just wants to state her point and get her feelings across.
In both the video and her blog, she comes across as
confrontational towards the audience. I
think she does this because she feels that it is the only way people will
listen to her and the only way that she will be able to get her point
across. If she just states things
meekly, people won’t listen because the words are coming from “just an autistic
person”. However, by being
confrontational towards her audience, she’s letting people know that she’s a
human being too and she has feelings about these things just like any other
person. The confrontational tone also
just stands out and catches the reader’s attention. Whether it makes the reader
feel mad, confused, or sympathetic, it still makes the reader notice and feel
something about her writing.
