Where did people who have completed this course find articles/ leaflets etc for the first assignment?

I have been flicking my way through countless newspapers to find just one article, and I need two!!!!

I need 2 pieces of writing to show different models - social, medical etc

Any pointers in the right direction would be very welcome!

I found both of my articles on the BBC - one by Luke Jackson accessible form Ouch! and the other a medical model description of autism in their medical conditions pages. Hope this is of some use.

Excellent buttercup, Such a relief when you know what you are going to be contrasting isn't it?
I found that the hardest thing of all! I remember being so frustrated and thinking I would never find anything, but I did.
