What is the Language of Autism?

No, there's no commercial. It's a story about a father and daughter climbing Mt. Kilamanjaro.

Just tried it again. Still works for me. There is a link on the right that looks like a father / daughter story. Don't click on it!

I'm not clicking on any link anywhere other than the one posted here! It goes straight to a father-daughter story. If I click on the one in the menu labeled "A world apart" which the description sounds like should be the one, I just get a screen that says "undefined" instead of a video.

I got the link from this site.

Below the picture of Amanda Baggs there should be a video clip titled 'Amanda's World, Part 1.' Hope it works for you. I can't seem to find another copy of the story.

I'm not very impressed with CNN's website. I can't get the second part of that video to play.

You're jumping from generalization to generalization.

I was under the impression that the point is you judge each person individually. Not assume they are stupid because they are autistic, or smart because they aren't autistic.

That's the argument I was professing to my 22-year-old when he was having trouble at work with a particular enthnicity.

"Well why shouldn't I label them with a stereotype, if they're going to constantly reinforce it??"

sigh...
