In her TEDxBreda Talk Vera speaks about a more positive understanding of autism.
She believes that many autistic people unnecessary suffer from the believe there is something wrong with them. And so many people around them are in despair of their incomprehension about it. Yet it is so simple. Vera feels the urge to let the world hear a different vision about this worldwide problem and hopes to bring hope instead.
