Lover of Many Fandoms

josephshoulders:

I’m writing a paper about the representation of ADHD, dyslexia, and autism in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians (PJO). The public’s view of the representation will be crucial in my argument. I aim to bring this topic to a broader issue about the importance of representation in literature. I also intend on arguing that PJO should be taught to incarcerated juveniles with neurodevelopmental disorders as a way of accomplishing Riordan’s goal of teaching children that their differences can be strengths.

I would be very grateful if you could take at least one of my surveys for this paper. They only take a few minutes to fill out. There are four surveys. #1 is for fans with both ADHD and Dyslexia, #2 is for ADHD fans, #3 is for dyslexic fans, and #4 is for autistic fans. You may take more than one survey, but if you have both ADHD and Dyslexia, please take #1 and not #2 or #3.

Side note: I plan on using information from The Heroes of Olympus (HOO), too, so you can mention those books.

I would also appreciate if you could share this post even if you do not have these disorders or are not a Percy Jackson fan.

Thank you so much for your time! If this paper is published, I will make a post about how to read it. Feel free to message me or send an ask if you have any questions about the surveys or paper.

Surveys:

#1 ADHD + Dyslexia

#2 ADHD

#3 Dyslexia

#4 Autism

please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.
