Autistic Person Translates "In Her Language"

(via BoingBoing)

“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.
