Carly Fleischman

In case you missed ABC news tonight, Carly is a teenaged girl with autism who suddenly began speaking via her computer. This really blows me away. You can go to the site and see how many people asked her questions. We are so desperate to know what life is like for a person with autism. I wonder what my son understands. It is so frustrating not knowing.

I was blown away too! I asked her how old she was when she understood what people were saying to her. I know our kids understand some things but how much and when did they comprehend?
