Program Overview

For years, Sue Rubin says she was " her own worst nightmare. " Sue has autism, and

her late

top IQ.

In the Academy Award-nominated documentary Autism is a World, filmmaker Gerry

woman who lives with it.

I saw this film recently.... it's really incredible. I highly recommend it.

It's about facilitated communication, so whatever your views on that.... I

know it's controversial, but there is NO doubt that Sue Rubin now types

independently... not supported. You will be amazed to find out there is a really

smart young woman inside this person who appears to be extremely autistic and

retarded.
