02 7 days with my autistic brother

Drive slowly, saying that he is a good driver. There were other incidents that led Charlie to discover that his brother had an extraordinary memory, and his mental arithmetic speed was faster than a calculator, so he took his brother to a casino in Las Vegas and made a lot of money.
There, Charlie taught his brother to dance, and in the event that his brother held his head at the opened faucet and screamed "hot water scalded the baby", he learned that his brother had burned himself. The parents wanted to protect himself from harm. He chose to send him to a nursing home in a remote place, and no one has ever told him that he has an autistic brother.
(And the early death of his mother made his father want Charlie to be an independent and motivated child. It was a pity that when he was young: Charlie took the 4A transcript that he finally got, and asked his father for rewards, and drove away his father without permission. The old car that kept him thinking about going for a drive was detained by the police for stealing the car. The companions were all released on bail by their parents and returned home.

He, who has never been able to touch people, can finally put his head on his head quietly with Charlie and accept Charlie's kiss. When Charlie and the doctor were fighting for the custody of Raymond, Raymond kept talking about living with Charlie in the nursing home. Maybe he didn't know the meaning of it, but he remembered that Charlie would tell jokes. They won at the casino. Susanna kissed. Passing him, it was a wet feeling... Charlie did not get custody in the end, but what he cared about was no longer a legacy. He agreed to see his brother in a few days, and his brother began to count how many hours and minutes there were. How many seconds.
