Jackie --..... Temple Grandin

[Guest guest]

Temple Grandin has Aspergers Syndrome just like my granddaughter . Temple Grandin is a doctor of animal science and a professor at Colorado State University. She is responsible for many changes in the livestock industry on the treatment of animals. I wanted to see that movie about her but I think it was only on HBO.

Hi Akiba,....this reminds me of a movie I watched about a gal that was Autistic and very intelligent. [see description below] After she had studied the way the cattle was being treated inhumanly she developed a system to calm them down. Then she built a similar pen for herself that she could crawl into and grab a lever to squeeze herself to calm herself down whenever she felt overwhelmed. It was a rather crude structure, but she said she felt safe and comforted in there.

So I was thinking maybe the room being padded and the blanket being weighted was a means to help Robbin to feel safe and comforted. Now if it was just a place to put him because she didn't want to be bothered with helping him that was wrong. Anyhow, did you ask him why he chose the dark closet, and how did it make him feel. Its obvious your hugs help him feel safe, but as far as the school goes, and other children who have disorders of similarities a human touch is not comforting to them.

Am I off the mark here?

Here's the description of the movie.

Temple Grandin

2010NR120 minutes

Emmy winner Claire Danes stars as Temple Grandin, a brilliant young woman coping with the stigma of autism at a time when it was misunderstood. With the support of her loving family, Temple dedicates herself to learning and becomes a famed animal behaviorist. Her passion for animals gives her a unique ability to understand them, and she fulfills her love of education by teaching about autism and the most humane ways to treat livestock and pets.

Hugs, Jackie

Robbin is the only kid I have ever heard of who "self-punishes". If he does something wrong, which is very rare, he will punish himself. Just now he did something "wrong", which could have damaged his bike but thankfully did not. When I went past his PC just now, he wasn't there. Where are you? He was in his closet! He self-punishes! It is SO cute there are no words....I told him that was not necessary...damn but he is just such an awesome kid!

it was on cable - remember seeing it which cable ...? God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.
