Hi all,
 I just had to share.
I was watching the movie "happy feet"with my 10 yr old son, he was giving me a running comentry as our kids tend to do. He turns to me and says" mum, mumbles is autistic!" I ask him what makes him say that, his reply is "because he is just a little diferent, doesn't kinda fit in and he is sometimes sad because the others don't accept him much." then my boy grinned at me.  W e have decided my son gets happy hands.
I will never look at "happy feet" the same way, it now means something special.
cheers aurea |

That is interesting. My daughter LOVES the movie. She has been obsessed with penguins from 18 months old, but Mumbles is more special to her than any other penguin.  |

I had the same ideas while watching it with my 2-y-old AS daughter. Actually it is her prefered movie
I think it's highly educative for every child and parent on the spectrum, the moral is quite cool: "thinking differently can be very good for society also if initially they don't accept you".
