Never undermine the human mind.
an example of the human spirit, even when trapped in a body which does not work.

Wow, this is awesome. If this technique to communicate can work with others it would be a huge breakthrough.
What I take away from this, other than the obvious, is that I am so very lucky to have been born free from so many ailments that others have. Most of us reading this story are so very fortunate, and yet we go through our own periods of depression, as if we really had something to capare to what this young woman must endure.
I enjoy very much talking to folks about issues of the day. In the early 90s I was communicating on the White Water Bulletin Board on Prodigy. One of the people I enjoyed communicating with on that board was a man who communicated by using a device with his mouth, that he punched out responses with.
We are very lucky.
It would be wonderful if the type of breakthrough with this one patient, could open up the world of communication for others.
I am happy for this girl. This must be a real blessing for her.
Rock ‘n Roll! Great development here. Kudos to ABC for finding this story. And to FReep for giving us another site to post it on.
Our 3 year old has PDD-NOS. Making some progress across the board, but speaking is still quite difficult for him. We appreciate any encouragement we can get!

This would be another reason why abortion is a bad thing no?
Do people know when thier child is in the womb that autism is present? Have babies been murdered because people thought that they would be autistic or does it not show up until sometime after the after birth?
I like the idea of abc giving people a reason why they should not have abortions.
And I love the idea of a sentient being suddenly being revealed to those who have been so close and never , never, never knew.
Great for computers and new writers who will share with us whole new undisclosed worlds of human experience.
