Autistic girl expresses herself through writing

[Gertrudes]

I'm not sure whether this has been carried out on Sott already, but I have been unable to find it. In any case this isn't really an article but a video, it can be found here:

This really puts autism into perspective, or at least it did for me, completely. This girl showing a typical autistic behavior has revealed a clear intelligent mind that seems to be entrapped in a body that simply doesn't respond normally. I really have to ask myself, is this, after all, what is going on with autism, or a portion of its sufferers? Are these people fully aware of their environment, and simply suffering from input overload?

This could put new, completely different lenses on all common conceptions of autism.

I saw another video about a kid whose autism had been cured by diet, anti-Candida meds, and chelation (maybe it was Jenny McCarthy's kid?). When asked after about how it was like to have autism, he allegedly said that he was aware of what was going on, but couldn't change his behavior. It was like looking out of a body he couldn't control.

This is a good find, Gertrudes! I've definitely seen it before and am pretty sure that I saw it through SOTT, but I can't find a link either (maybe it was removed for some reason?). It's also possible that I saw it linked through facebook.
