Autistic Girl Expresses Unimaginable Intelligence

Lots of people will just look at people like Carly, an autistic girl, and judge them. They will give them the term as mentally retarded. Then one day, Carly changed many people's views on autism. One that day, she rushed to the laptop and wrote two words, "Hurt, Help." In those two words, we realize she is smarter than we take her to be. Later on she writes all the time on the computer, and these two sentences took me by surprise, "I am autistic, but that is not who I am. Take time to know me, before you judge me." She is just like us in every way except by the way her brain functions. This is one thing I will take away from this video: Do not judge people even if they seem mentally retarded. I try not to judge people, but at times like when I see a person like Carly I feel bad and place the title on her as Mentally Ill. She might seem like that, but she is just like everyone else. I may have judged her not in a mean way, but no one should be judged. I do feel sorry for her, that she has to deal with this problem in her life but she is proving not only to me and her parents but to everyone in the world that she is a normal kid inside a different body. The catholic church does not want anyone to be judged meanly or wrongly and this video shows how people's interpretations of people might not always be right. So I have one message to Carly and that is: Keep doing what you are doing, and showing people that disabilities do not change who you are.
