Gotta say I only checked this out cuz I wanted to see what she actually looks and sounds like because I watched the HBO movie about her,but I quickly became interested in what she had to say and ended up watching the whole thing. I learned quite a bit about something I knew little about which is always good :)

@BioGirl33 Andrew Wakefield (the so-called 'doctor' who created this BS MMR-Autism link) has done more damage to humankind than any other hack doctor in the world. His research was based on 12 individual cases, which is nowhere even close to being a big enough case study population and has since been rescinded by the New England Journal of Medicine and denounced by all doctors worth their salt. Research the idiot who came it up with this crap before you believe him or any other organization.

"talents are like fragile flowers" YES. she's right, don't punish kids by restricting the expression of their talents. my parents did this and I lost my talents.

@CharlestonChew89 The exact reason I looked this up on youtube. I was very curious about a person with autism coming to make a speech near me! Wow.

@BioGirl33 I have autism. You're an idiot. The mercury salts used in MMR are no more a danger of mercury poisoning than people are danger of getting acid burns whenever they take a pill on account of a formula ending in "HCl". It's a good thing that science is based on evidence and independently-verifiable results instead of the fraudulent research of Andy Wakefield. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you can make up whatever fantasy you want to fit the void.

I've just watched the movie about her and it was great to find this video... very useful information, thank you very much! "It is just another door..." THIS is self control!... and Temple's life looks just as a result of her strength and will to give those words such an AMAZING power by REALLY believing in them. ... WONDERFUL..!
