It's a sound-related response to the things going on in the video (recorded while I was watching the video). Sound-related stuff is obviously not all I was doing in the video.

Thank you so much for making this video. I work with youth that have a range of disabilities, some verbal but still their communication style is often overlooked. I am going to share this with my students and encourage them to make and post their own videos. Thank you so very much!

i do have autism.

Oh okay. That's probably because in the video I only have a certain amount of time to say a whole lot of things, and over a number of comments I can say things I didn't have time to say. Also, although I have my own way of relating to the world, I am often (not always) perfectly capable of doing what I said in the video and switching into other people's language if I have to.

oh no, i replyed too early, my computer is so annoying, and ive been getting stomach aches all day, oh, anyway the reply is, i didnt really know if you did it all day long, its a bit confusing but after reading your words, your replies and channel, you seem more logical than in the video.

Wonderful! I'm struck by your title, "In My Language." It seems that the language metaphor gets in the way here. Could I make a suggestion? People for whom language comes easily control their psychological lives by using stories (paradigmatically, plot and character). They live autobiographically. Perhaps others have alternative ways of controlling their psychological lives. Perhaps some use music (paradigmatically, rhythm and melody). If so, then perhaps they live autobio-musically?

thank you for posting this video i have two atustic sons who are non verbal to the normal world i seem to understand them just fine .. this video was completely normal for me as with a few of the others you have posted i understand them completly but only because my son's have taught me your language.. but to learn it you have to care enough to listen

i think chrisaira is exactly the type of person she's responding to ... you are obviously a narrow minded person who has never met another with autism or relating disability =(

What makes you think I do it all day long? :-) |
