Children with autism are not broken

Youtube showed me this video, perhaps because the algorithm ‘knew’ I’m interested in US politics.

Curiosity made me watch it.

Joy makes me re-publish it here.

If you watch just one of my video recommendations, make it this one:

This is the comment I left on Youtube:

“Holy cr@p. When I first started watching this kid’s speech, I thought he was just parroting something an adult had written. Wrong. The longer I listened, the more obvious it became that this kid knows precisely what he is saying, that he has thought about every word. And that he is brilliant. Now I wonder how many of the great thinkers and creatives of our history also had autism? I’m posting this video on my blog so I, and my readers, can see what the truth looks like. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.”
