Dr. Gupta, who wrote and did a video profile of gtto on CNN earlier this year, did an article last week on Facilitated Communication (where a person helps the person with autism type). Gtto was mentioned in the article under her real name, and also wrote a comment in the comments section which was MUCH MUCH more interesting and informative than what Dr. Gupta wrote. Her comment is signed A.M. Baggs. http://edition.cnn.com/HEALTH/blogs/paging.dr.gupta/2007/10/ giving-autism-voice.html Thanks, gtto, for your insight on this topic. Very cool! I think for some it is a window for communication...Sarah was spelling words before she could talk...it is amazing how the brain works and to have something to foster communication without verbal speech is a miracle.
Amanda, seriously, I am not surprised that you were more interesting than the doctor. you are truly a unique and amazing indiavidual with ALOT to say! I have shared your website with several people and will continue to do so. Gtto/amandaim very proud of you and your accomplishments i always love reading your posts and am happy to hear that you were back on CNN congrats whow! being on CNN, GTTO is a star! Heh, and on the 'good' news also, afterall now days much of the news is so negative its good to have some positive news!
