The Girls' Mom Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 We watched it after seeing it recommended here. I've long suspected many members of my dh's family (dd included) of having autistic tendancies. We have one person actually diagnosed in the extended family. My dd probably could have been on the Aspergers side of the spectrum, if I had her tested. My dh looked at me early in the movie and said: That's how I think! He really identified with her. Two of my girls did too. It was a great one for us to watch. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've found it fascinating. I watched an hour yesterday while I was waiting during piano lessons and another 30 minutes while I was on the treadmill this morning. I can't wait to finish it.

scrapbookbuzz Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 It certainly helped me understand my Aspie daughter better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 DH and I watched that movie about three months ago. I was blown away by it. We don't have any children on the spectrum, but I was floored by what a family goes through, both parent and child, when loving and raising a child with autism. I still think about that movie, almost daily. I'm not a big movie buff, but I found it to be extremely touching and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
