I wasn’t going to post an entry today, as I’ve blogged daily for ages and want to start taking the occasional break again, but I think it’s absolutely essential that I direct you all here. Carly Fleischmann is an autistic VOCA user who has a show on Youtube. She became so well known that she was invited onto the Stephen Colbert show to do an interview. This is the truly awesome result. Fleischmann goes toe-too-toe with Colbert, and I think comes across as eloquent and witty. I think this truly is groundbreaking stuff for us communication aid users, and Fleischmann is someone to keep an eye on from now on. Given that Colbert is the current era’s equivalent of Jay Leno or David Letterman, it really is a positive, encouraging sign to see a VOCA user on his show.
