Autistic girl expresses profound intelligence.

That is heart breaking and fascinating.

The way she describes some of her symptoms of Autism is an extreme version of how a friend of mine explains restless leg syndrome. He cannot NOT move his legs when it happens. He has no control over his legs for that second. Also, it is my layman's opinion that he's a highly functioning, very low on the Aspergers spectrum, if there is such a thing.

It mentions iron in the pdf and the best way to take iron is this way...

4. Iron Phosphate (abbrev. Ferr. Phos.) This widely used salt is mostly found in the blood, veins, arteries, lungs, ears, and nose. It is THE principal first-aid remedy due to its antiinflammatory action. All fevers indicate iron phosphate. Since it is a part of hemoglobin, Ferr. Phos. helps to carry oxygen more efficiently throughout the body, helping it to fight all infections. It is indicated for anemia, as well as internal hemorrhaging. External bleeding can often be stopped by sprinkling the powdered salt on the wound. Fer. Phos. is mostly used at the beginning stages of all acute illnesses.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm so happy for her that she finally has a way to communicate. It makes you wonder how many other kids and even adults with autism who are unable to talk have so much they want to express but just can't seem to do it. The computer really is a great tool for her (and probably others).

When she found the computer I would call that "The Hellen Keller moment".

I call nonsense on this story.

Out of the millions of kids and adults affected by autism, she's the first to pound-out grammatically correct prose on a computer - out of the clear blue no less?

They never really show her type out one of these well constructed paragraphs... and her father states on camera that she didn't have a vocabulary to begin with. How does she know how to even spell, much less construct sentences.

And how come this special girl is the only one?

This stinks of sensationalistic journalism to me.

My bet is that we'll never hear about this again - nor another person so severely affected becoming a writer.

Not being cynical - it just doesn't make sense. There's really no proof in this story.

Of all the conspiracies floating around out there, you suspect this? What would be the motive to make this story up?

I believe it. My 5 year old son could read before he could even talk, self-taught. It is definitely possible.

Carbon? to show her typing what you are looking at right now<--------would take her about two or three hours, do you really want to sit there for that long?, the girl is no dummy and could accumulate a lot of knowledge over that period of time .......... remember that she had a lot of instructors teaching her different things so that she could learn and remember but not how to express herself.

Albert Einstein was autistic. The thing is, people with mental disorders sometimes excel in other areas, the problem is figuring out what those areas are (if they exist.)
