Happy Feet

Post Reply New Topic

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.

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".
