    you know, on a serious note, can two autistic people talk to each other in tastes and smells and hand gestures? I mean this person is talking about communicating, and we don't understand her language and that's why we are confused. I get that. What I don't get is the idea that this person's way of expressing themself can be defined as communication. Perhaps they are communicating with the world around them, but transmitting is only one part of communicating. Maybe the questions they are asking are "What do you sound like?" and the answer is the sound the thing makes.
