    I love how respectful Chris always is with his interviews. Nonspeaking does not mean an inability to understand, think, and communicate. Clara seems like a very sweet girl, and her artwork is so beautiful and powerful. I'm so glad she was given this platform where she could be heard and seen as she is, rather than as people's misconceptions see her. I hope she's able to find good people who love her as she is.

      ​@@WalkingPaceWPThe two big parts of the brain that are crucial for language are:
      1. the Wernicke's Area above and behind the ear that is essential for speech comprehension
      2. the Broca's area at the temple used for motor function in making speech
      Since she has cerebral palsy, I believe the stoke occurred in the motor cortex, nearby Broca's area.
      Also, brains are complicated but also pretty flexible, especially when very young.

      was just thinking this. it sucks that its so common for ppl to not want to be friends with someone just because of disabilities. like ofc theres a learning curve if the person doesn't communicate in the standard way, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a meaningful connection, and it would 100% be worth the extra time and effort to learn to communicate with them.
      also ik theres plenty of disabled folks that aren't any more "difficult" to be friends with/communicate with than others, and often times its just ppl not liking ppl who are different than them, unfortunately.

    She is obviously a VERY intelligent individual, it seems a shame that some might look over that simply because she has disabilities. Like her mum said, when you have a disability, people act like you don't exist which is painfully true in my own experience. Many people without disabilities who are completely verbal have a hard time conveying their emotions and how they're feeling yet it feels like Clara has found one heck of a means of expressing herself via art. I hope her art can be recognised worldwide because it's art that truly means something.

    Even though it's hard for her to communicate, she understands! Even though I'm verbal. I'm the same way.... It's very hard for me to talk. But I understand exactly what people are saying. Just finding the words and putting them together out loud is difficult for me. I prefer to talk through text. Even when I'm in front of people. But I'm only comfortable texting in person with people if they know how I am. and wont judge me for that.

    You can tell Clara has a lot to express. She is exploding with love and intricate thoughts. It broke my heart when she couldn't find the right words on the tablet or when she hesitated to answer some of the questions. You could tell there was much more she wanted to say but was restricted to a simple "yes," "no" or "beach for a walk." Where she lacks in words, though, she makes up for in other forms of communication. I hope she knows people are listening intuitively and seeing beyond the surface.

    I love how understanding and communicative Clara is! When her mom was talking about her hand being one of the first signs after her birth she instantly raised it up to show the example. She is very intelligent and artistic and her art is absolutely beautiful and shows so much talent and emotions.

    As a young kid and has a big passion for art and drawing, I love seeing other artists and how different they are. I am aspired by this girl, I hope she gets more attention and has her art in a museum. She seems like a really nice girl, I wish I would at least meet her and be her best friend and give her the biggest hug I can!

    When Clara's brother was saying he wants her to live with him when they're older, she looked SO happy. The love between them is amazing. The love in this whole family is truly amazing. Clara, you are such a talented artist!!!! I'd buy your paintings to hang in my home, that's how beautiful they are.

    I so deeply wish I was a part of their family. I wish I had this level of love and support like she does. You can tell how much they all love eachother! they're so kind, and respectful, and seem deeply in tune with their children and it's just heartwarming to see such a positive video. She just radiates joy and light and I can feel it through the screen! I would LOVE to be her friend, to paint together, and show eachother our art. I don't know where she is from, but I bet there are people who feel exactly like me in her area! I hope that people start to make more efforts to treat her like every other 17 year old, because that's what she is. I have no doubt that she will find a wonderful boy, that is as amazing as her family!

    I’m a disabled artist myself (I’m more into drawing/illustration than painting, though). Art has been so beneficial to me in coping with my anxiety. Clara’s paintings are absolutely beautiful. It’s always exciting to hear about other disabled artists.
