A big piece of the news was dedicated to the young lady. A eye opener for sure.

WOW, the ABC story was great. (can't view youtube at work )

my two nieces (7 - 10yrs) have autism, even with tons of speech therapy, neither talk(they can say a few words, but can't string them together).
I'd give anything if they could make the strides that girl did and could start communicating.

I'll check youtube when I get home, thanks for posting.
