I just watched Wretches and Blabberers on Netflix. VERY VERY good!!

It's about 2 autistic guys who learned to communicate via typing and their two helpers as they travel to Sri Lanka, Japan and Finland to meet other people with autism who also communicate via typing. It's all about how their world opened up and how they are forming an advocacy organization with these other people from around the world. It's a really positive movie about autism.

I saw a clip of that some time ago and then forgot about it until you mentioned it. I'll put it on my Netflix queue. BTW, are you a wretch or a blabberer? I think I'm a wretch, being the quiet sort.

well since wretch means an unhappy person I prefer not to call myself that because I'm generally pretty happy with my life. Yes, there are things that need to change but overall I've got what I need with some extras to make life interesting and fun. I suppose you could call me a jabberer. I can go on and on about my current special interest.

Oh, thanks. I hadn't noticed Netflix had added this, and I was looking forward to it.
