self-closing process

There are so many details in this movie that are easy to move. When I gave my graduation speech at temple, I was so moved that I almost cried. It is a very great sentiment that an autistic person can step out of himself, and the help of others, to help himself, others and the world. She said it well, we don't need to be so brutal, we should treat them with respect. We should respect everything.

As normal people, we just have to keep adapting. In the process of adaptation, we lose our speciality, our sensitivity, the ability to sense what others could not. So we get used to all the behaviors of the adult world that once felt weird, unnatural, and false (many must be said to be horribly abnormal!), and we "mature", more social, and comfortable being on this planet. A part of the crowd who are eyeing each other, and never distinguish each other again.

Temple Grandin quotes

  • [Temple tries to leave the funeral]

    Eustacia: Temple, are you alright?

    Temple Grandin: I'm leaving now.

    Eustacia: It isn't over yet.

    Temple Grandin: I said goodbye when I saw him, he isn't there. I've got him in my mind.

  • Eustacia: I have done everything that I can for Temple, and if it isn't good enough, then it just isn't good enough. But you cannot even begin to imagine the chaos, the upheavals, the tantrums and the pain.

    [emphasis]

    Eustacia: Her pain.

    Dr. Carlock: You seem to be acting as if you have done something wrong, when it's obvious you've done everything right. I think she's terrific.
