"It was fun to hear someone else's life," said audience member Kenneth A. Woodin, who is also autistic. "I hope someday I'm that good."
"I really enjoyed hearing her," said Kyla L. Christenson-Szalanski '03. "It was a different kind of experience to hear about it from someone who actually had autism herself."
The speech was sponsored by Encouraging Mankind to Perceive Others With Equal Respect (EMPOWER), The Harvard Foundation, the Ann Radcliffe Trust, and the Radcliffe Union of Students.
