@@mightykeefauver1080 actually it's true. It's those that don't understand or embrace the brilliant mind of a person with autism. Just bc her social skills are not on par with Nuero-Typicals. Doesn't mean she isn't the smartest person in the room. In fact Temple.is on a genius level unlike those other people. So please tell me how exactly she isn't the smartest person in that room?
I could understand Temple's anger about people and parties. Growing up, I used to isolate myself away from bigger crowds at parties. Truth is, I'm autistic. I love going to gatherings!!
autistics need to be able to go to socisal stuff but enjoyt it in our own way and do it our way and not be forced to doit '' like the normals''... and allow us a way out if we had enough... just ass alot of normal folks will leave, get upset, panic, and so on when they have had too much of this or that
It makes me think about my mother telling me to my face "I am so glad that you and your sisters were not born autistic" it hurt to hear that. And it still does.
Kolin Zuver You guys are all stupid. You'll brazenly provoke dehumanising hostility against yourselves by identifying so willingly with an obviously dehumanising label.
That room, with all of the people, the lights, and the "Cocktail Effect" of all the voices, is a nightmare. Plus, the people cornering her and firing off question after questions, with suggestions, and no breathing room. I never knew why I felt that way until I got my Asperger's diagnosis. Whenever I go to a party, I will often know where the coat check room is located, so that I can hide and "re-charge" when needed. I don't try to talk at parties, because people will talk over me, and the point will be lost.
SepherStar I don't know much about cattle but I do know that the Dinka tribe of South Sudan love their cows to the point where they play a big role in their culture. And my uncle used to have about 600 cows on his dairy when he lived there, and I always looked forward to "visiting" them. I even watched the birth of a calf one or two times and I remember I covered my ears because the cow would scream so loud, lol
They were totally gaslighting her! By saying things like when she liked living in the west “I’m sure you do but it isn’t home” and when she said their son used to spit in her jello “I’m sure he didn’t” just very condescending towards her…
I watched this with my family when I was really young, and I can see it was sort of like my parents way to explain my own autism. I love this movie so much. It really inspires that anyone can truly do anything. I don’t know much to say but I love how they did this movie.
you'd think as you get older you grow out of things or improve coping skills with age but as I get older i just get more and more like her in this scene....except instead of a squeeze machine i just want to stare at my phone or be totally alone....it sucks honestly. I have autism(obviously) and go to day program. i take the paratransit bus and sometimes they have to go out of their typical route to pick up others before dropping us off...i was sick of being on the bus so long with all those people i started to have a meltdown similar to this.....just wishing i was in the comfort of my own room instead of outside in the big ol' world....:/ i think this is one of the reasons why they invented noise canceling headphones....more like "can y'all please just f*** off" headphones are more like it! lol....
Well...I don't mind parties every once in awhile, especially when it involves a theme that I like, like Halloween or Tiki or Old-school, but I would not go to a bar dance every night... And I am an Aspie bigender one. I just hate when people walk behind me when I'm on the computer, it always makes me tense up a lot. And I hate when people grab my shoulders by surprise and tease me when I haven't drink my coffee, yet. And strangely enough, I can watch a horror movie because I can predict when the jumpscares will arrive (and make it a game), though I have to wear ear-plugs when I see one in the theater. But I kinda like the adrenaline rush I get with scary movies, in moderation.
1:30 I have those thoughts all the time. Also, I like her mom but I don’t like how she is defending the idiots at the party, why can’t she just agree 100% with Temple?
I don't experience meltdowns or shutdowns so I don't really know what it's like, but my dad does experience shutdowns, he hates the smell and taste of burnt food and that's a trigger for him. I like parties cause I like to talk to people. But I'm angry that people don't like to listen when we go into detail, and I will never learn to make eye contact either, I hate that. It should go away.
omg i dont blame him. my thing is sound. i cant stand soft sounds, i like loud, harsh sounds. i also get triggered by soft gentle movements and touch, like irritating folds on my socks. i like strong hard touch like deep tissue massage. Literally seeing men gently stroke their beards makes me CRAZY and i have to get away.
I think I might be autistic and I can't understand what Temple did "wrong" in this scene. Was it bringing negativity into the conversation when she mentioned the badly designed systems? I'd love to listen to Temple talk in depth about cattle at a party, even though I'm not interested in cattle. I love it when people are passionate about what they do. Isn't that what life's all about?
What she did was awkward, not "wrong." First off, the guy was a snob, so when she mentioned the name of her publication, it didn't sound prestigious in his eyes. Then when she mentioned good and bad "moos," it sounded childlike. Her unusual tone of voice and darting eyes combined with the subject matter was off-putting. The main problem is that she was talking to a snob.
Did she really go in details about the cattle though? she spoke a few sentences, same as other people do, to give a little context. she just didn't have social graces, that's all
Claire Danes and Julia Ormond so much look alike. When I watched Claire Danes in little women years ago I thought she was like spitting image of Julia Ormond then.
I have autism and I can relate to this. I have anxiety with people. Things have gotten as an adult and I use my coping tools. Her mother reminds me of my mother, who is supportive of my autism with unconditional love.
I understand. I think people must be sick of me spitting out facts, but I can't see myself chatting about things that don't matter. I can give you a complete his as to the cause of the Rwandan genocide, but I have no idea who the kardashians are, or what they do.
Same. I could tell you all about how Poland was treated by the Russians before WWI, but I can’t remember anything I learned in 11th grade Physical Science.
i too endured institutional ableism in my high school proved them wrong did my doctorate in international law from Oxford work at the international criminal court speak 13 languages have an amazing girlfriend raw raw just raw
I know this is an old comment but autism, ADHD, etc. exist for a reason. Your child is important and made for something other than average. I’m parenting an ADHD child whom I now suspect may be on the autistic spectrum too and it’s so clear that these are not broken people….they are unique and insightful. Expecting them to be usual is what breaks them.
I want to watch it . I know that feeling when you know what something and you explain it and ppl look at you stupid . This scene angers me because that's how my life is sometimes. I know I'm different. But ppl act like they are alot smarter . It's annoying. I'm on the spectrum. I understand this scene
hi, im autistic, and i, along with the majority of autistic people, really dont like when people use terms like "different ability" or "special needs" for us. its fine to just call us autistic and/or disabled. those arent bad words. please dont feel the need to avoid them.
