check out the video of Amanda Baggs. This is a woman with autism who is simply amazing and has a lot to say. There is so much out there in the media regarding autism that is just plain depressing. This young woman gives me such hope. Please Watch the whole video by clicking below on the word amazing video. It may be hard to stay focused at first...but Please watch it to the end!!
amazing video
Amanda states:
The first part is in my "native language," and then the second part provides a translation, or at least an explanation. This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.
Thank-you so much Amanda for letting us understand your world.
You are a beautiful person!!-Michele
