the mellow tigger's musings

Carlos and I saw this film in a theater recently. It was part of a series called "Frames of Mind" where they screen films and have discussion afterwards. We thought it was a good film too, and helpful to better understand the experiences of people like Ben. Coincidentally, I am also reading a book (and Carlos is teaching it in a class on Children's Literature) called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time," which is written from the perspective of an autistic 15 year old boy. It's a pretty great story. Carlos finished it really quickly. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. It was written by Mark Haddon. And actually it has been marketed and popular with both adults and children.
