I've seen and heard about this girl before. She's pretty amazing.
So sad what she goes through.

First time I seen that and all I can say is wow. So amazing, yet so confusing at the same time.

This is a story that should be written and shared by all.
An incredible fight for recognition from someone written off as just another statistic or a tragedy.
I truly wish that many will see this and understand that although some cannot speak or show what they feel, there is a soul inside that has a voice that wants to be heard.
Thanks for this.
It's Sunday night and after a long week of dealing with people that believe they are truly the center of the universe, I really needed to remember that none of us are the center but just a piece of the whole.
Carly...If you ever read this, please write your story for all of us. We need to hear it.
You state "We create output to block out input." Believe me when I say that you are not alone in this.
Peace

That's amazing, I could only imagine thinking the way I do now but being locked in a body that I have little to no control over. That was truly heart warming. Thanks.

Albert Einstein (1879–1955), Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) and Isaac Newton (1643–1727) all died before Asperger syndrome became known, but Ioan James,[2] Michael Fitzgerald,[16] and Simon Baron-Cohen[38] believe their personalities are consistent with those of people with Asperger syndrome; Tony Attwood has also named Einstein as a likely case of mild autism.[21]
Newton, when he was 50, suffered a nervous breakdown involving depression and paranoia. After Newton's death however, his body was found to contain massive amounts of mercury, probably from his alchemical pursuits, which could have accounted for his eccentricity in later life.[39]
Tesla was able to mentally picture very detailed mechanisms; spoke 8 languages; was never married; was very sensitive to touch and had an acute sense of hearing and sight; was obsessed with the number three; was disgusted by jewelery and overweight people and also had several eating compulsions [40] [41].
In her 1995 book In a World of His Own: A Storybook About Albert Einstein, author Illana Katz notes that Einstein "was a loner, solitary, suffered from major tantrums, had no friends and didn't like being in crowds".
