the point of the video was to demonstrate a different and unique view of autism, from the mouth of a person with autism. as a society, we seem so programmed to label something as negative or positive or to overly focus our attention on the cause (vaccines, glutton). i for one have never bought into the theories regarding autism. the point of the video is that she communicates differently than we do and is challenging us to learn her language. is she somehow less of a person because she communicates differently? her expression of the human experience is not abnormal, yet as a society, people often view those with autism as lacking because they do not behave, communicate, and function as the 'normal' of society, when in reality, she is more connected to the world around her than most have ever experienced. i think people with autism have so much to offer society, if we can just open our hearts and really listen to what they have to say.
