The preface of An Anthropology on Mars by Oliver Sacks

You don’t need to cite anything or use MLA format. The source is only needed if you use examples from something you read or seen)
In the preface of An Anthropologist on Mars, Oliver Sacks claims that his study of people with certain neurogenic disabilities has led him to question the traditional perception and definition of disability. This could be interpreted more broadly as meaning that disadvantageous aspects of life can have upsides. Write an essay in which you explain how Sacks makes this point and make a claim about the extent to which it is true. Support your claim using examples from Sacks’s preface as well as specific examples from your own life and/or things you have read or experienced.
