I hate the message of this video. Words do not have power and if you don't like want people say who cares? I disagree with censorship of any kind and using a women to proclaim a message does not brainwash me to become a protector.

1) If words did not have power, then bullying would not lead many to suicide

2) It's not censorship... a censor is an official who examines books, plays, news reports, motion pictures, radio and television programs, letters, cablegrams, etc., for the purpose of suppressing parts deemed objectionable on moral, political, military, or other grounds... Urging people to not be raging dickweasels is not censorship in anyway.

3) Nothing about this video was intended to brainwash anyone... let alone you... and it's message wasn't that you should become a protector.

4) You commented just to blast it?

5) You cannot use A women... women is plural.

6) no one was using anyone... she is an autistic spectrum individual.

We will just have to disagree... But don't bash someone else's personal story because you can't identify with it.

Just going to have to disagree.

Unless you are a successful hermit how other people think will affect you. At times we must choose to be ourselves despite great cost but to deny the cost is denial,

Unfortunately on wrong planet their a large subset of people who think autistics getting hurt is acceptable collateral damage to the larger goal of exposing how intrinsically evil NT's are or just free speech in general.

I found this video immensely moving and powerful. The heartfelt sincerity and the truth of the hurt caused by ignorance and thoughtless cruelty of others toward people on the spectrum touched me deeply. It evokes a state that I believe is common though rarely this eloquently expressed. I wept.

I like it,she expressed her true feelings and who can argue with that.i thought it was sincere.everyone has the right to view themselves in there own way.

it wasn't the most positive video but her viewpoints were very raw but very real.do we really need anymore inspiration porn where every disabled person is always happy and never makes mistakes

I can't at all blame the girl for feeling this way. It is what it is, and it's an example of what many of us have to go through.

It is what it is, and society has pretty much turned autism into equaling literally anything that's negative. Well, sorry for not being able to control this thing that I was born with that doesn't fit your goddamn convoluted standards. Not my fault.

I am a human being.

Correction: If words didn't have power, words wouldn't exist. :P

I kind of disagree with this... words came about so people could talk a lot without saying very much - something to do with their mouths
