"In my language"

This is one of the most unsettling, powerful, thought-provoking videos I have ever seen.

It doesn’t make for easy viewing but to fully appreciate it, you need to watch it to the end.

From the description on YouTube:

The first part is in my “native language,” and then the second part provides a translation, or at least an explanation. This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.
