1. I wish I could find the piece they did on CNN ... |

... this is an extra-ordinary woman.
She communicates in "colors and abstract" ways but somehow taught herself to use a laptop to let us get into her mind. The link I provided in the previous post does not illustrate how exceptional this so called "low functioning autistic" is.
If someone can find the piece they did on CNN, I think you will be more than interested in hearing Amanda from her perspective.
