   Wow…simply remarkable. I’ve heard other stories about similar but none this amazing; environment makes all the difference in the world.

   I’m skeptical. I want to believe but it’s facilitated communication, isn’t it? If she’s sitting there by herself typing that would be amazing…

   I think she’s doing the typing herself, Bix. That’s what makes the story so remarkable. I read about this yesterday (and it was a more thorough article). It even had some samples of Carly’s writing:

   i read about this just a few days ago. it’s so sad to think that she was always able to think these thoughts but never able to tell them to other people. it is truly amazing.

   Having worked with severely autistic children for nearly 6 years, I’m a little skeptical as well. I’ve heard some people spin some pretty crazy facilitated comm stories. Amazing if this is true though. I’m surprised that a computer works so well where picture symbols and sign language fails (assuming they tried those paths first).
