Carly's Voice

This is a worthwhile video to watch. It will make you smile and cry at the same time. This video is about a young girl with autism who was non verbal. She would often have outbursts that were difficult to control. She had therapy from a very young age and they saw little progress. She had no speech and was not able to communicate at all. At the age of eleven she went over to a computer and began typing words. Her first word was hurt and than help. Right after that she had gotten sick so she was trying to express that she was not feeling well. It is amazing how this girl began to communicate through her computer and not just for her wants and needs but her feelings and how she perceives the world around her. It is yet another example how people with autism have so much to say but simply need the means to say it. It is an amazing video that I recommend for everyone to take a moment to view.
