I saw the show maybe two nights ago and I still can't stop thinking about this girl. People with Autism tend to have really strong visual needs because they have aditory procesing disorders. I can't imagine how confused this girl must be. I'm confused, with many questions:
- Do they make socail stories in Braille?
- Is there a textured board or something that she uses for a tactile schedule?
- Is there a special school for her?
- Does anyone understand how to communicate with her?
- Is she completely lost in her world of Autism?
- What is her life like?
Going blind has always been my biggest fear. I never even imagined it in conjunction with Autism. My mind is blown.
