There was a king who had twelve beautiful daughters.

Then the king made it known to all the land, that if any person could discover the secret, and find out where it was that the princesses danced in the night, he should have the one he liked best for his wife, and should be king after his death; but whoever tried...

As he approached his father's room the doctor was just stepping out into the corridor. The doctor gave Charming a forced smile, then continued on his way. Charming took a deep breath and went into his father's room. The king was sitting up in his bett with papers sprawled out around him. He glanced up when Charming walked in.

"Ah, Charming. I need to speak with you," the king said.

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...

Aschenputtel set the bucket down on the marble floor of the schloss foyer and then slowly sank to her knees. She stuck the scrubbing brush into the soapy water and then immediately began scrubbing the floor. Every morning began the same way. Around her were a couple other servants. She didn't know most of them Von name since Queen Gothel was constantly firing servant after servant and replacing them.

Behind her she heard the scratching sound...

"You wanted to see me, father?"

"Yes. Please have a seat, dearest."

Jasmine sat down on one of the large chairs in front of her father's desk. She shifted uncomfortably while she waited for him to speak; feeling Mehr like this was a business meeting than a conversation with her father.

Her father picked up a fancy envelope off his schreibtisch and held it out to Jasmine. "Prince Charming is having a ball in two days...

Ella held on to the porzellan doll. Her glass blue eyes looking at her with so much optimism. Ella sighed and put the worn out doll Von the vanity that she now had. Her life changed drastically, and it was because of the stupid glass slipper. The slippers were beautiful, but they really hurt. She had some splinters on her feet the Weiter Tag after the ball. She missed the old farm. Her comfortable kittel and shoes ready for the chores that Lady Tremaine always had out for her do.

Ella laid on her bett thinking, until a knock at the door put Ella out of her train of thought. It was Charlotte, one...

A light tap on the window made jasmin look up from the book. Her boyfriend, Aladdin, stood on the narrow ledge just outside of the window. jasmin reached over and extinguished the flame of the candle beside her with her fingers, then hurried over to the window. No, Jasmine...

Charming stared after the blonde girl for a moment, even after she had disappeared down the staircase and was no longer in sight. Who was that girl? I'm sure I've never seen her before. She must be one of the new servants.

Charming tried to just shrug her off, but he couldn't help being intrigued Von her. He turned and continued down the hall. He didn't bother knocking before entering his step mother's private room. Gothel was in the process of Schreiben something down on a scroll and looked up, annoyed, at the sudden intrusion. When she saw it was Charming, she offered him a smile. He didn't return...
