Did anyone see 20/20 last night? The last story was about a 13 year old girl with autism named Carly Fleischmann.
She cannot speak and yells and hits tables...but she learned how to communicate using the computer. Not only is this girl completely normal, she is actually very smart! Some of the things she types are so profound! It's really amazing.
You can go here and read some of the conversations she has had with her dad and different people.
Samples of Carly’s Writings | Carly's Voice - Changing the World of Autism, by Carly Fleischmann
She has really been able to explain what autism is and why autistic people do the things they do. She's an incredible girl.
