> nancy, DID U SEE THAT report on the news a couple of months ago... a
> couple with an adolescent age girl so profoundly autistic she was
completely unresponsive and they had no idea she could read or write or
understand a keyboard but they sat her at a laptop to play around and
she immediately typed help. pain. mouth. and she had an abscessed tooth.
I didn't see that one but have seen one where the young woman, now in
college and mentoring other highly intellegent people with autism, typed
something like "kale" into her laptop as a child when her mom asked her for
the name of a vegetable. The mom said she never served kale and how no clue
her daughter knew it was a vegetable.
