This is an AMAZING video about a woman who is autistic. Its quite long, but so worth watching -- it explains so much.
I am so humbled by this video, that I'm sure I've watch a dozen times. This woman also maintains an amazing online journal -- you can get the URL from the comments section of this post.
I've often been asked how we "communicate" with Paige, since she is virtually non-verbal. But she is so expressive that I forget sometimes that she doesn't have spoken words. They say that communication is only 5% words and the rest is body language, etc. -- that is so true in our house!
Take the time to watch this...

Betsy... I just found that this lady also has a website where she posts a lot of self-advocacy writings. Its amazing! She writes a bit more about this video there as well. Here is a link: http://ballastexistenz.autistics.org/
