gtto mentioned on CNN again | Autism PDD

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.

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.
