This girl is a great example of an amazing person! A while the doctors declared me autistic because of how I used to act when I was younger. Thanks for sharing this fabulous video.

the meek shall inherit the Earth! Well that quote makes sense those who look disabled actually have more strength

My mother worked with people that had disabilities *such as autism* for a very long time. She had a book that she said was amazing and made her understand autism in much more depth. The author of the book is autistic herself and explains how it feels when your autistic, how you percieve things, and your struggles.

I borrowed the book from my mom to read, And then I lent it to one of my best friends from work to read *since her son is autistic

Anyhow, its a great book and really invites the reader in. I think its called "Nobody Nowhere" by Donna Williams

I have heard tha some autistic kids have psychic powrs is that true?

Explanation: S&F!

Hmmm no bad genes just bad gene environments!

Personal Disclosure: I'm extremely glad that she has found and her parents have fostered, an environment that is allowing her to blossom fully!

P.S. I wonder if her parents talking freely in front of her for all those years had a positive impact on her extremely amazing ability to communicate clearly???

Many years ago. when all my spiritualism was just starting up and I had no idea yet that I was an energy healer, I had a profound dream that was a powerful part of that awakening.

In the dream, I was standing in a white "space", as many times happened, with a doctor and a couple of nurses behind me. They were showing me a young boy, about 8 years old, sitting on a wooden bench at a wooden table. They rattled off all of his ailments all the while. When I looked at him, the pain and fear in his eyes was astounding. He was shaking and very clearly suffering. He was small and frail-looking.

I picked him up despite the protestations of the medical staff and took him to a comfortable sofa. I sat down with him on my lap, his head resting on my shoulder. For reasons I didn't understand then, I placed my hands on his hip and shoulder/head. He immediately calmed down and fell to sleep.

I was the ripped out of my dream (it was 4:17am, after all). My eyes welled up with tears and I told him out loud that I would be back.

One other thing I do recall the doctor saying was that the boy was in that state due to mercury. Since that dream, I have been a firm believer in the whole mercury-poisoning thing. We really shouldn't assume that medical science is anything more than barbaric.

Just think how much one unmentionable plant could help those suffering this way.

Amazing story.

And maybe she holds the key to truly understanding autism and bringing forth some real medical breakthroughs.

Thank you Impaired for the amazing story. My son is 11 and autistic. Very smart and, thank heavens, verbal. It's amazing what goes on in his head.

Now THAT is a video worth watching. :]

This is the stuff that bgs me with the general stereotype of people with mental disabilities as being ignorant, stupid, etc... I have a mental disability aswell and all my life was looked upon as an idiot even though i have a very high I.Q. which has allowed me to do many things in my life. The only difference between me and a 'normal' person is the fact that i have some slight problems with focus, writing, and a lack of people skills(dont really like people too well). anyways -stomp stomp rage rage troll troll-

I have autism adhd and ocd

That was an incredibly uplifting video and I can only hope to imagine just how her parents must feel now that they know that there IS a caring, understanding and feeling person trapped inside that damaged shell. I wish the entire family all the best and hope that her astonishing progress continues.

Just one question that wasn't answered in the vid ... it's obvious that Carly was not capable or able to be taught to read and write based on her condition ... so could someone please explain how she managed to sit in front of the pc for the first time and start typing words and sentences in a coherent fashion ?

all three are mental disorders ocd can be crippling and the adhd provides a very difficult challenge with every day tasks but the autism and ocd are far worse
