soo the other night my mom and i watched temple grandin, it's about a young woman who has autism-her bio(.Temple Grandin (born August 29, 1947) is an American doctor of animal science and professor at Colorado State University, bestselling author, and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. As a person with high-functioning autism, Grand
in is also widely noted for her work in autism advocacy and is the inventor of the hug machine designed to calm hypersensitive persons.)
. anyhow so i told my mom i wanted to watch it with her it might be good for us since i myself have aspergers, it's a high fucntioning autism,so anyhow so we watched the movie..and my mom pointed out characteristics that temple had that closely resemble some of my disabilities--only temple was a wiz in math-me not so much, anyhow so there is this scene when temple as a young woman hugs her mom or actually lets her mom hug her(all her life she never let anybody touch or hug her) well my mom goes to me after the movie " you were once like that also,for years you never let anybody hug you ever, i remember the day when you finally let me hug you..i will never forget that day". so our mother daugther relantionship had a breakthrough this week,becaseu we don't really have a good one!
