Autistic Teen Finds Inner Voice

I know this is not just Information Technology but I am doing my assignment for Supportive Learning Environments on Diversity and have come across this amazing video on a teenage girl with Autism and just had to share it with everybody. It really makes you think and consider how you interpret and treat people with Autism and related conditions. This is a great example of Persisting in the Habits of Mind, this girl, her parents and tutors persisted for 11yrs till eventually they had a breakthrough in the form of ICT's. The computer presented an avenue to be able to communicate with the world. This is teaching and learning all in one. Everybody can now learn what is going on in the life of a severely autistic teen, and hopefully get more insights into how best to treat the symptoms to help these students lead a better life.
