Barb

I found Barb and Dr. Prislovsky's speech/discussion to be very eye-opening, and I experienced many mixed emotions while listening. I think it is wonderful that Barb has been able to find her voice, and to help give a voice to so many people who live with Autism, but I also became sad when thinking of the many people with Autism who were never able to get their voice out and heard because there was no one there to help bring it out of them. I hope that Barb's story, and her writing will show the world that people with Autism do have voices, and emotions, and passions, and also help people not to feel sorry for people with Autism, but to see the up side to Autism, and to see what Autism has to offer the world.  I found Barb's positive spirit to be extremely inspiring and uplifting. She embraces her Autism and is working to make the lives of all who live with Autism better through her words, insight, and fantastic sense of humor.
