Amanda Baggs

I found this woman's story and video on cnn.com. She has severe autism, and she makes videos for YouTube - her most famous one is called, "In My Language." It was uncomfortable for me to watch, but it blew my mind. Especially her "translation."

"Living with Autism in a World Made for Others" on CNN

"In My Language" on YouTube

She talks about having conversations with the world, while we pretty much only have conversation with other humans. I don't know what this means about God or human community or anything, but I think it means something cool. Let me know if you figure it out.

She has a video of herself walking - only 11 seconds long - that is an interesting statement about herself, too.
