Experience Autism through Video

Ever wonder what it is like to feel over-stimulated? Carly Fleischmann shows through video what it is like to experience sensory overload in everyday settings.

Video 1: Coffee shop

Video 2: Walking down the street 

3. Video 3: Shopping at a store

Carly Fleischmann created these videos through her own experience. As we know, every individual sees the world through a different lens, which can lead to a different experience than those shown above. The reason I still appreciate these videos are that they highlight important characteristics that are common with those who experience sensory overload:

1. Increased brightness

2. Jumbled noise

3. Sensitivity to certain smells

4. Distracted by individual objects that become the complete focus of the individual

Watch the video below to see Carly Fleischmann, a girl who could once not communicate, type her thoughts and emotions, and surprise the world with her ability to share her voice. Carly is an inspiration to non-verbal autistic people and to those who thought that people labeled as non-verbal autistic would always be silent.

A Deeper Look into the Autistic World: An Incredible Testimony

This is an incredible video that changed the autistic world forever.

Ever since Carly was three, she has had one-to-one therapy that took about 40-60 hours a week. Carly’s parents never gave up on her, despite the slow progress and criticism given by some friends.  Carly had a breakthrough moment and started to type her thoughts one letter at a time at the age of 13. Carly gives great insight to educators and parents alike. Carly’s story is unbelievable and should provide great  hope to the development of understanding autism.

 You can follow Carly on twitter at @Carlysvoice or visit her website http://carlysvoice.com. She has a book coming out called  Carly’s Voice: Breaking Through Autism which will be released March 27, 2012.
