Temple Grandin

I got this in the mail yesterday from Netflix and watched it last night. James was sort of half watching it with me. I thought the movie did an amazing job at showing how she viewed the world. While she is more "severe" than Michael, I could see a lot of similarities. When the movie was over, James and I stayed up until nearly 2am talking about Michael. We talked about our hopes for him and the potential we see in him. I was very happy to hear about some of the changes that James has made in his thinking about Autism. By the end of the conversation, I was left feeling pretty hopeful for the future. And really honestly probably for the first time I felt like James and I were on the same page with him. It felt really good. :)
