This video clip is about a therapist named Kelly Londenberg, who is also an autistic herself. This is just a part of the video 'The Autistic ABA Therapist ', but the part that she talks about how autistic person feels was interesting. So, I wanted to share this short clip.

Yes that part was interesting. It seems that when that question is ask "How does an autistic person feel?" we get the same answer and see the same cases. Just like in the video that we watched in class from youtube talking about the woman (Temple) who was also autistic and helped others like her. Their world is different from ours. Loud noises annoy them even if it does no bother others. It seems as if their senses are more heightened than ours in this case. Which has something to do with the structure of their brains or which areas function more than others. They are geniuses in different aspects to where they can teach us how to understand things that we did not know of (Temple:understanding how to work with cows and what brings her comfort and helps to calm her as an autistic woman).

This is very interesting video clip.Because, I have written a research paper about autistic children's art therapy. Autistic children appeared diffrently when they were young. Here is more information of article that I found "New experiences and strange places sometimes set off behavior problems in pubic, making family outings difficult, and as a result, “families feel social isolation,” said New York State Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg. D-Nassau County, a sponsor of the surfing day camp."
Children with autism often have problems with any changes in routine or familiar surroundings.
However, In this video clip, the most important thing that women said is they are emotionally differnet.They feel diffrently than other people. Threfore we need to embrace their emotional feelings and handicap in our society.
