Carly Fleischmann’s voice
p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:- “I have a twitter account, but I honestly haven`t figured out what the hell to do with it,” says p2pnet correspondent Henry Emrich in Reader’s Write to a p2pnet Twitter story.
How about this, Henry?
“My name is Carly Fleischmann (right) and as long as I can remember I’ve been diagnosed with autism.
“I am not able to talk out of my mouth, however I have found another way to communicate by spelling on my computer
“And YES – I can type on my own …”
And to prove it —-
Carly, who’s 13, also says »»»
My story that was filmed last year will FINALLY be on!! It`s one small step for man one giant step for AUTISM. Go to www.carlysvoice.com
And that’s on Carly’s Voice, her Twitter page.
“After my story was played I kept on getting lots of emails from moms, dads, kids and people from different countries asking me all sorts of questions about autism.,” she says on her blog, Carly’s Voice, adding:
“I think people get a lot of their information from so-called experts but I think what happens is that experts can`t give an explanation to certain questions. How can you explain something you have not lived or if you don`t know what it`s like to have it?
“If a horse is sick, you don`t ask a fish what`s wrong with the horse. You go right to the horse`s mouth.”
“For 10 years she couldnt communicate with her parents until she got a computer,” emailed Andrew from Australia, telling us about this amazing girl.
Carly is Canadian. But thanks to her, and thanks to the net, people around the world are learning what grit, perseverance and determination can win.blue
(Cheers, Andrew)
