a brain on autism

This is an amazing video by Amanda Baggs, 27. In it, she shows her autistic rituals as a kind of conversation with objects around her and then explains them using a computer-generated voice. Apparently, she is the subject of an article in Wired. The name of the piece is "In My Language." I had to watch it twice.

Autism and the video are both fascinating. Check out Temple Granden and her life as an autistic
vet.

Pretty amazing. Who wrote the text that the computer is "speaking?"

She wrote the text! She had to lear "our" language to do it.
