Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is dreaming and there is no way for me as a reader to tell what physical abilities she may have while awake; could Alice have a physical disability? Could Alice’s dream be so vivid because she is also Autistic? As an Autistic reader with Cerebral Palsy, I think yes, in this paper I will interpret Alice as physically disabled and Autistic.
There are some passages that I find interesting as they seem to be confirming my theory. Thinking about getting into the garden requires a certain amount of steps, which can be a problem for autistic...

Alice
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he 由 the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

 Do non-Ariel 《美人鱼》 exist anymore? They do, here in the Fairy Tales & Fables Spot!
Do non-Ariel mermaids exist anymore? They do, here in the Fairy Tales & Fables Spot!
This is a simple request I ask of fellow 粉丝 of the fairy tales & fables spot: if 你 can, try to refrain from bombarding this spot with Disney-related links, videos, and 图片 and instead expand what 你 consider the 'classic' fairytales and fables. While it is true that 电影院 do rely as much on fairytales and fables as 图书 of yore did, the commercialization of Disney's versions of these classic tales overwhelm the vibrant worlds of Mother Goose, Aesop's Fables, and Hans Christian Andersen.

Here goes:

Once upon a time there was a lady. She wanted to have a baby. And she did. But she was sad, because the baby had brown hair. "I wanted a blond!" she screamed, throwing the baby of a cliff.

She then had another baby. It had red hair. "I wanted a blond!" she shouted, again throwing her off the cliff.

The days past, and many a child was thrown off a cliff. Then, the lady reached the age of 40. "I'm too old now! I'll never have a blonde baby!" She lived the rest of her life in depression.

Oh, and she was put in prison for throwing 婴儿 of cliffs.

THE END!

The 狐狸 and the Grapes
An Aesop's Fable

One hot summer's 日 a 狐狸 was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."

It is easy to despise what 你 cannot get
