A 17 year old girl name Carly was told she has severe autism, apraxia, an oral motor condition that makes her difficult to speak. Her doctor said she would likely never develop beyond an mental age of a small child. However, the book published by her father, "Carly’s Voice, Breaking Through Autism" shows in great detail that she is an intelligent, witty and a very smart girl. Right now, she attends a high school in Toronto and she is enrolled in a gifted class. She is comfortably able to use iPads, and social networking sites such as Facebook, tweeter, and she often goes out with her friends. This is what people never even thought of happening due to her autistic disabilities.
I think this is a great thing for everyone to know and it should be openly told to many people around the world. Many people in the world doubt many who face challenged with autistic challenges. But I believe what Carly went through is a miracle. From her autistic side, to being enrolled into a gifted class is a miracle and I am more than happy for her and her family. A person who is able to make a big change like this, was very pleasing to read.
