Guest guest Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I was reading Ramona The Pest, by Beverly Cleary, and was struck by what an Aspie Ramona was. She misread social cues, was devastated by changes in routine, couldn't delay gratification, took everything literally, and had meltdowns on a moment's notice. What she didn't have, back in 1968, was an IEP, a behavioral evaluation, or a perscription to a litany of drugs. The book remains in print over 40 years later, so it must have struck a chord. The cover illustration has been updated many times to depict a more modern Ramona, but the book itself hasn't changed any from the original. Anybody care to comment on Asperger content in the movie?
