Link of interest

I know a number of people on my friends list who might be interested in Amanda Baggs, a 26 year old autistic woman who apparently has made some videos about how someone with autism experiences reality. She also apparently does interviews via typing. I have never heard of her before, and no opinion on anything she's saying, but if you're interested and haven't already heard of her, here:

I'm not necessarily holding that up as being written by someone who is autistic, btw. As best I can find, the author doesn't claim to be such, though it's meant to be written from the viewpoint of a 15 year old who is. Interesting analysis and criticism here:
