Estee a mother of a Autistic son wrote about a great conversation she had with her son using some sort of communication device or facilitated communication. It describes greatly that Autistic people can communicate, and really do care about others. Read more for an excerpt from the communication.
“I am mad because mommy told you once not to touch the glass and you did not listen to mommy.”
“I silly joke on you.”
He begins to feel bad and pouts.
“Why do you want to make a silly joke on mommy?”
“because I silly,” he begins to whimper.
I write, “I love you and I want you to learn from mommy. So when mommy asks you not to touch something, I want you to listen to mommy.”
He turns his head towards me and looks straight into my eyes and then writes “I am love.”
