Post # 3 Barb Rentenbach

I felt that the lecture presented was very inspiring. I enjoyed her sense of humor and all the interesting things she had to say. I really loved the comment "Autism is my prism not my prison" I love this sentiment and the thought that autism is just another way of opening up and viewing the world. I work with autistic people on a day to day basis, and with most non-verbal people, I have never actually heard their words. Although, I dream about what they might say if they did speak. I imagine that they just speak another language than that of you and I, so it makes it really difficult to learn something so foreign.
Barb is a very powerful, insightful, and inspirational person. I'm grateful to have heard her speak.
