Re: Autism
I agree, but really, CNN is in the entertainment business, and it was "edited to fit the time allowed." Hopefully Nova or The Independent Lens (thank goodness for PBS!) or some other slightly more open venue will take this up and move it forward...
I too got the feeling that the communication wasn't exactly "interactive", but I think that gets at some of the nature of autism (which admittedly know almost nothing about). Communicating with her is probably nothing like talking to Stephen Hawking, but that's not easy either for different reasons. Hidden behind a forum like this one, it sounds like no one could tell the difference. That's where some of the most interesting information lies which CNN did not have the time or patience to pursue.
