Amanda Baggs on autistic communication

I just found out about this, and it's one of the most moving videos I've ever seen. It was created by a 27-year-old autistic woman in response to how people view autistic people as non-people. The first few minutes don't use your language, but stick through to the end (about seven minutes):

She has lots more videos, too. Thank you, Amanda Baggs, for sharing your experience of the world with the rest of us.

Best,
Chris
