My sister passed along a poignant video, and I just have to share it with everyone.
Meet Carly:

She is a non-verbal autistic, like my youngest, but unlike mine, she found a way to break her silence. This is a ten minute video, and worth watching multiple times, even if you know nothing about autism. For those of us who have a non-verbal in the family, it was not only awe-inspiring, but tear-inspiring as well.
This is not some boring video about statistics, but the story of a real girl and the things she has had to live with for her whole life.
