duckweed, anyone read or watched Life Animated?
It's about an autistic person who communicates via Disney quotes.
I read the first chapters, but some parts seem fake. Plus, I don't have much tolerance for "autism parent" perspectives. The author says he wanted his kid to be a famous successful person & how he wants to "reach inside" & connect with his son who "vanished" when his autism became apparent. "Changeling" narratives make me uncomfortable.

Making assumptions about what people have when you don't have all the information can be dangerous and just shouldn't be done.
This is another small rant....
"Fluctuating Support Needs" vs "Everyone's a little Autistic"
Many allistics may say "Oh, but everyone's a little Autistic" when you tell them about your struggles with Autism....
