A Glimpse Into Autism
I have posted this link on Facebook a week ago, but I’d like to revisit it on my blog.
The link leads to a video of a child with autism. People with mental disorders are frequently seen as just “beings to be dealt with.” Their unexplainable behavior is often dismissed as a malformation that could only be dealt with in the same manner that one accepts the death of a pet; just let it be. This video shows, however, something much deeper and disturbing, something fascinating, something that elevates out understanding of the mentally retarded into our world of torments, needs, and desires. Its definitely worth a watch.
