Found this online and I'm watching it. Thought I'd share.

I've watched that before. I find it very disturbing and sad.

I was once told that my kids were autistic because I am too attached to them. One of my aspie friends joked that I was an "Incubator Mother" LOL!

I've watched the first 20 minutes and it's a very good documentary. I couldn't watch it all, because my attention span is short. I waited at the bus stop for my school bus with a boy who was LFA when I was a kid and I see him in many of the autistics in the film, so far. I'm going to watch the second half tomorrow to see how it ends. Thank you for sharing the documentary. :)

Oven mother (too warm rather than cold).

Hilarious how it went from cold to warm in some circles. Times are a little different now though, so the "warm" one didn't really catch on.
