Susie Rubin-Autism is a World
This short video has such a profound impact and really gives us a glimpse into the life of Susie. By listening to Susie you can tell how much of an impact AT has had on her life. She talks about how difficult it is to describe autism to someone who hasn't experienced it, and until she was able to communicate, no one would know or understand her true feelings or how lost she felt. Looking at the role of Presumed Competency, we can see how her caregiver is allowing her to take control of the technology and only assists her when needed. She realizes that Susie is able to put her thoughts and feelings into the device and it seems as though she believes in her abilities.

YES! all caregivers presume competency in Susie. They realize she has the capability and potential to learn, communicate and has valuable knowledge to share
