Amanda Bragg, Living with Autism in a World Made for Others

25 02 2007

story.amanda.jpg Amanda Bragg is a young woman with autism who’s found an amazing way to express for us how she thinks. She’s posted a video on YouTube and has been featured on CNN. Definitely worth reading the story and viewing her video and the CNN report about her.

“My language is not about designing words or even visual symbols for
people to interpret,” she says in the video. “It is about being in a
constant conversation with every aspect of my environment.”
