Carly's Voice

I am guessing the majority of my readers have seen the video about Carly, the non-verbal, autistic teenager who has used her computer to voice her thoughts. That said, I don't think I can leave this video out of my postings this month. Watch the video below and be inspired by what you see. Let it be a reminder that people with special needs are just the same as everyone else on the inside. They see our stares, our taunts, and our lower expectations, and it hurts.

Carly writes, "I am autistic, but that is not who I am. Take time to know me, before you judge me."



Learn more about Carly at her website, Carly's Voice.

This post is one in a December series of National Blog Posting Month, where I am advocating for children with special needs. To make a difference in the life of someone living with special needs, check out THIS POST.
