I think I can truthfully say this is the first time I’ve been completely changed as a human being by watching a video.
Amanda Baggs, who has been classified as a low functionining autistic, lets us into her world. Just simply amazing. Please watch until the second half, where she explains what you are seeing.

I’m really glad you posted this – I saw your link on Twitter last night and when I clicked on it, YouTube was down for repair.
That was… yea. Wow. That was amazing.
I love the internet!

hmm, at first i thought it was some dude pissed that they had not managed to get their hands on the wii. but then as i slowly stopped tab switching and absorbed the content i realised that i had pigeon holed persons of such dis-position. I have re-evaluted my values and found flaw. I will endevour to be more accommodative towards all forms of communication in future.
A real eye opener. thanks zadi.

just when i started to wonder if you tube was only good for stupid human tricks and flash shows.. Im shown a whole other way of using it that totally made my day! Ms Baggs is an amazing person ..who has the great ability to get her thoughts and ideas across to others on a totally different level. If only we all were able to do that.
..thx zadi
