Communication
In my searching for the article on alturistic behaviour today I came across a link to this:
"In My Language" is a youtube video in which a non-verbal person with autism "speaks in her own language" -- a combination of sounds and visual cues and gestures -- and then explains what this all means by means of a text-to-speech program. It's a fascinating and compelling statement from someone who's given the problem of communication a lot of good thought.
Since I have been looking at forms of communication recently I thought I would check it out.
It is not simply about communication but also about humanity and I urge every one to watch it.
So much so that I am going to confront my own hatred of embedded You Tube videos and put it here...
