Is there any well-known YouTube channels that shows the true daily life of a severely autistic teen/adult? I am taking care of a charge that is severely autistic, self-abusive and psychotic. She can talk, but hates to hear her own voice, any opinions? Also, my own starting YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQG_V ... C0A/videos so check it out if you're interested in it! Thanks, and thanks for leaving down YouTube channels.

Did she agree to be recorded? Did she agree for the recordings to be put up on youtube? The only way this would be okay is if the answers to both of those questions are explicitly yes.
How would you feel if the situation were reversed and she was caring for you?

She loves it, she even handed me the camcorder herself and we bought her a camcorder due to her interest in such things. Of course she can't quite use it but she likes to hold it.

Just to clarify, she also explicitly agreed to have the videos put on youtube?

Yes, she responded through her AAC that she agreed and didn't mind that we start a YouTube channel for her.
