5/15/12 Community First Responder for West Midlands Ambulence Service, James Cawtheray, West Midlands United Kingdon

I have been using the bracelets for a week now and they are amazing. I have been using the feeling and numbers one in my role as a Community First Responder, a volunteer paramedic, and they have been very use full as I specialize in paediatric breathing and trauma calls. Having the bracelets on mean they can give me a pain score and tell me how they are feeling helping me give better treatment for them. (See more of James story under testimonials.)

Carly Fleischmann, a young woman with autism so severe she cannot speak, has learned to type, and now, she has written a book. CTV's Medical Specialist Avis Favaro on her fierce determination to make herself understood.

A Toronto teenager with severe autism whose remarkable and touching story CTV News has followed since 2008 has co-authored a book -- "Carly's Voice: Breaking Through Autism" -- with her father.

The book, published by Simon & Schuster Canada, documents 16-year-old Carly Fleischmann's long journey out of silence.

"I believe we all have inner voices that need to come out to the world," she told CTV News through a computerized digital voice.

Her father and co-author, Arthur Fleischmann, said it took Carly two months to write the 15- to 20-page chapter in the book, but that is was virtually flawless when finished.

"I told her how the book is structured . . . you write what you think is best," he said.

Carly has challenged the conventional notions of autism by demonstrating emotional skills that lay hidden for years. A computer has helped her reveal to the world what it's like to have her condition.

From an early age, it was clear Carly had autism. As a young girl, she would often rock back and forth for minutes on end, flail her arms and hit herself repeatedly. Equally troubling, she never gained the ability to speak.

Many people who didn't know her assumed she was intellectually challenged, Arthur said in a 2008 CTVNews.ca story.

"I am glad she dreams these big dreams . . . the bigger she dreams the more she will accomplish," Arthur said. Read more: http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20120325/carly-fleischmann-book-20120325/#ixzz1qWzHcJQt

“THE TALK” RECOGNIZES AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH WITH HOST AND ACCLAIMED AUTISM ADVOCATE HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE LEADING THE WAY
In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, CBS’s THE TALK will dedicate four Friday shows to the cause throughout April with host Holly Robinson Peete leading the way.

Teen Locked in Autistic Body Finds Inner Voice

Her finger hovers over the keyboard, sometimes for hours, before she painstakingly begins to type:

"You don't know what it feels like to be me, when you can't sit still because your legs feel like they are on fire or it feels like a hundred ants are crawling up your arms."

Something extraordinary happened to Carly Fleischmann, a severely autistic 14-year-old who, unable to speak, was once written off as mentally deficient.

"It is hard to be autistic because no one understands me. People look at me and assume I am dumb because I can't speak."

There are experts and skeptics who believe that nonverbal people like Carly are incapable of thinking or writing.

"I think people get a lot of their information from so-called experts but if a horse is sick, you don't ask a fish what's wrong with the horse. You go right to the horse's mouth."
