If you are wondering whether I really exist or not:

http://ballastexistenz.autisti cs.org/?page_id=289

This channel will mostly contain videos made about autistic liberation and disability rights, for the autistic self-advocacy website autistics.org. It also contains a few more personal videos.

This is my public account. My private account is amandabaggs. These are the only two accounts I have on YouTube. Anyone else claiming to be me is trolling/hating.

Videos are captioned (ever since I learned how to do it) because, aside from considerations about making things as accessible as possible, several of my blog readers are deaf or hard of hearing.

For anyone wondering, thag468 is not and has never been my staff, as evidenced by some of the details (s)he gets wrong in comments I've never unscreened. Or if (s)he is my staff, (s)he is not very strong on telling the truth. I do have a video including one of my real staff (Jen) on here. She has read the defamatory claims about me and was mad that someone would impersonate someone in her position, in order to say those things. I have never scratched Jen or thrown anything at her.

Hey Amanda. I think that your video My Language conveys a very powerful message. Being unable to communicate with you through speech makes it impossible to understand your thoughts. However, I now understand that your behavior, althought widely condsidered incoherent, is a mode of comunication through other senses such as touch, smell and taste. Most humans communicate in this way at some level, but autists like you do it a different level. I find it very interesting too that you are unable to understand spoken language just like we are in understand yours. But my curiosity lies in that after your interaction with people you can't relate certain sounds with words. I see that your only disability is speech and that this might have triggered a search for different tipes of communication. I would like to learn more from you. Thank you so much for posting this video for it lets me understand more about human behavior and autism.

You are a amazing person :)
thag468 | 26 April 2007
1. She's not autistic
2. She treats her staff like shit
3. She throws things, screams and scratches others at the drop of a dime.
4. She does this for ATTENTION people...your responses are feeding her psychosis.
5. I hope former staff (there are tons) will see these videos and start making comments.
6. Her ideas about autism are complete bullshit!!!!

Amanda, i really enjoyed your video my language and i will pray for you, you are very intelligent and i consider you one of the people i look up to because you beleive in yourself and you are not afraid to say what you beleive in and your thoughts to the world. I hope more people can see this so they can help you more. And i promise you i will try to find ways to help people like you,beleive in me! and i consider you a better thinking person than all those who say you are not! P.S. please comment back! sincerely,chibiblondewolf2

Amanda,
Thank you for confirming my feeling that my non verbal autistic students (I teach them skiing) enjoy the sensory aspect of skiing. The sounds, feelings and smells of being outdoors on crunchy snow. I love my students and feel such a connection with them to the multilayered textures of skiing, all nonverbal.
