Amanda Baggs on CNN again tonight
Amanda Baggs of Ballastexistenz will apparently be on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 again this evening. She was featured in an interview with Dr. Sanjay Gupta earlier this year when they undoubtedly learned she has much wisdom to share about autism, normalcy, communication and disability rights.
Amanda hasn't been feeling well lately, as she noted on her blog last week, and under normal circumstances would find the deluge of attention and requests for advice that her last appearance created somewhat overwhelming. As would I, frankly.
Anyway, she's prepared for the added attention as best she can, so check out the show (I'll post a transcript link tomorrow) and cheer her on, but try not to add to the comments and emails demanding her assistance.
I'll put my own note to her right here: Congratulations, Amanda. And thank you for your tireless work.

Thanks for the update, I was directed to read her after I did a post on care workers treating me without dignity and saw her video on being an "unperson" and have gone back several times to learn different ways in which to explain a point of contact. I agree that she seems to work tirelessly on creating a multimedia education in a subject most people have stereotypes about. Thanks for letting me know so I can go congratulate her.
