To Understand Autism
Too many people seem to have forgotten what the “REAL” autism looks like. You know the original malady described by Dr. Leo Kanner back in the ’40s—and used until almost the ’90s when political and educational pressures began altering the diagnostic criteria. Even fewer have the true insight and understanding that this mother has and tries to help you understand. NOTE: the English subtitles do NOT work in Internet Explorer – per TED “either use another browser or view the video on the TED site.”
This mother has helped her autistic child when no help was available. She teaches us her simple technique: “Look at Me”
This video is in Spanish using subtitles. TED does not intend to support IE with subtitles so they don’t work. According to them: “either view the video in another browser or view on the TED site.”
