The man could not wipe his ass or bring himself to a point to be able to wipe on his own. He could not communicate without the aid of someone, device or not. He was put on display at work, more often than not, with a scripted lecture given by a computer. Fascinating fluff, how he overcomes a lot of obstacles. Is he one of the greatest minds? Or are his hard drives a collaboration of hundreds of intellectuals. Given his circumstances, he was propped up and loved for his wheelchair. People think he is pure because of his physical disabilities. I think that's incredibly loving and shallow at the same time.
That's just an opinion, it's like an asshole. Everyone has one and it stinks.
