The subject of this film is Sue Rubin, a woman with autism who was considered mentally retarded as a child. At the age of thirteen, she learned to express herself through a computer keyboard revealing that she was in fact highly intelligent. She went on to study history, specializing in Latin Americal History at Whittier College
