TED Talk: What I've learned from my autistic brothers

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZAi7DlVN2g[/youtube]I wanted to share this with the WP community.

I've watched the video and I agree with everything that the woman said. I think that the world needs more people like her and the world needs to listen to more people like her. I also like her stance on autism, because I have a lot of the same opinions. That's a cool video. Thank you for sharing it.

This is a wonderful speech.

On a different respect, it reminds me that we have to get out that we are NOT a disorder. We're a different order, a different structure than neurotypicals. Of course, that's not normal, but it's no more a "disorder" than it is being gay. It's one of the various "cards in the deck" of human nature we're given in our lives.

Wow.

Now if only I had the courage to say that to people in my own life.
