Nonverbal {does not equal} Low-functioning

A few days ago I made a post challenging everyone to reconsider the assumptions they make about autistic people who are non-verbal; challenged the relevance of "high-functioning" and the existence of "low-functioning" as labels for individuals with autism. If my words, and those of Amy Sequenzia did not convince you to think differently about those labels, watch this video about Carly and read her blog.

Is there someone you need to think differently about?
