Autistic children sometimes can't understand as well or as fast as "normal" children, so they may need more explanation or a simpler form of communication.
Answer:
Why did this happen?
A: The book “the fault in our stars” made me look introspectively, and connect the character’s lives to my own. The character’s struggles with mortality and living life to the fullest made me reflect on my life and wonder if I am truly appreciating it and experiencing all life has to offer. I also made the connection between the author’s inability to answer Hazel’s questions about the book, and how there were no answers for the problems in Hazel’s life. She was frustrated that there was seemingly no reasoning behind the author’s writing, just like there was no reason she had cancer, or that she was in this situation. Her anger towards the author symbolized a deeper anger that she would never truly “have answers” and that her life would never truly be fulfilled because she was going to die at such a young age.
I didn’t exactly know if you meant meaningful connections within the story or meaningful connections to your person life but I hope this helped!
Direct Characterization tells the readers about the personality of the character. So look for personality traits like adjectives that describe this character. You can also look for a direct nod to one of the character's traits, hobbies, etc.
Hope this helped. Have a great day!
