I wonder if her deafblindness was the cause for her brilliant mind, my theory being that when one ability is lost, another is multiplied. Ie.

Someone who has a balance would have average social skills and average academic skills, wheras a socially talented person may not be very analytical.
She inspires m a lot, I watch Miracle Worker again and again

I didn't even know there was this film but I just watched it. From such a young age she was a great inspiration to me and still is today
