Autistic girl Memorized Coppelia Ballet - UNBELIEVABLE!

This is incredible!

(youtube) We knew Clara loved the Coppelia ballet, but little did we know she memorized the whole thing! She performed this solely from memory!

This is just a small snippet of her dancing to it. We would see her doing some ballet moves around the house thinking it was ballet moves she learnt in ballet class, till one day someone decided to whip out a computer and compare her moves to that of the Coppelia ballerina, and, VOILA, we realized she memorized it, and can dance it!

How is this unbelievable exactly? I'm not a ballet expert, do the adult ballerinas use autocue for ballet moves? I'm pretty sure they've memorized it as well. Or is it considered unbelievable because you somehow thing autistic people have impaired memory and they shouldn't be able to do this? Or perhaps because you think young kids shouldn't possibly be able to do this?

Just think about it. What differentiates a professional ballerina and a child.

My point exactly. Nothing THAT big, assuming that children can't memorize things like that is just ignorant. Children are much more able to concentrate on things they truly love than any adult that's ever existed, and it's usually even more the case with autistic people.
