I like...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 21:53:24 UTC

I liked how Danny used statistics and showed the uniqueness of Temple Grandin in her time period as an individual with Autism.

2025-10-15 21:53:34 UTC

I loved the visualization activity. It was very engaging and relevant to the character.

I wish...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 21:54:37 UTC

I think I would like to do further research myself into Temple's childhood. I don't think it was portrayed in this particular film but I do think it would be interesting.

2025-10-15 21:54:44 UTC

I would have liked to hear more about her support or lack of support further into her career

2025-10-15 21:54:58 UTC

I liked how Danny incorporated more than one video clip. I also enjoyed his activity.

I wonder...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 21:55:45 UTC

This presentation sparked in my mind the possibility of the number of individuals with Autism living in the 50s-60s who did not have the experiences that Temple did because of their Autism.

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 21:55:49 UTC

I liked that Danny included an activity that highlighted the differences between how we think vs Temple Grandin

2025-10-15 21:55:59 UTC

I would like to learn more about how she continued to overcome obstacles.

2025-10-15 21:56:04 UTC

I wonder how many portrayals of ASD in the media are authentic. I would like to research this a bit more. Danny mentioned that this film included a non-speaking actress which led to more authenticity.

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 21:57:07 UTC

I would love to know more about the years she spent getting her bachelor's and master's degrees

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 22:16:13 UTC

I liked that Shea brought our attention to accurate vs stereotypical representations in the movie

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 22:18:25 UTC

how Shea manages to present Tyson and the authenticity of Tyson's condition and brought accurate vs sterotypical debate of Tyson.

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 22:19:07 UTC

wish that Shea could have shown more of Tyson's story in her presentation so that we know what happened.

2025-10-15 22:20:00 UTC

I really liked the analysis portion of the presentation during the group activity. It prompted me to think deeper about the presentation and film.

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 22:20:00 UTC

how Shea chose this particular story.

2025-10-15 22:20:41 UTC

I wonder what inaccuracies were seen related to running.

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 22:21:01 UTC

I wonder what individuals in the Autism community think of the movie, Tyson's Run

2025-10-15 22:21:24 UTC

Shea did a great job engaging her audience. She showed that she was very knowledgeable about Tyson's character in the family dynamics.

2025-10-15 22:21:32 UTC

I would have liked to hear about his success or how he overcame barriers throughout the film.

2025-10-15 22:24:00 UTC

The effects on teens with ASD navigating their school environment.

2025-10-15 22:32:09 UTC

Carita, I really liked how you explained how ASD in portrayed in the show.

I like...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 22:35:26 UTC

I like how Carita included the coping strategies that she uses to access her adult life. Such an appropriate skill to teach!

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 22:37:22 UTC

how Carita did express the lifestyle Astrid lives in (especially with the backpack, as I have one too).

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 22:38:55 UTC

I like how Carita mentioned that there might be cultural differences ebtween how we view Autism vs the show that takes place in France

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 22:40:42 UTC

Would have liked to see some of her successes.

2025-10-15 22:41:05 UTC

I would like to hear more about the support group that she has and throughout the series how much of an impact the group has on her.

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 22:41:07 UTC

why Carlita chose Astrid, because it was a bold choice.

I wish...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 22:42:37 UTC

I wish I could see some of her structured adult tasks up close. (I will be googling this!) These are great and could be beneficial for teachers who work with middle schoolers who are unwilling to use their structured tasks.

I wonder...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 22:45:16 UTC

How we could break some of these fictional "barriers" that Raphaelle has to fight against for Astrid for real individuals with ASD who would like to pursue a career in criminology/detective work.

2025-10-15 22:52:16 UTC

The comparison of inclusivity in the US vs. Europe.

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 23:10:26 UTC

how Opal manages to provide the neccesary information to understand the character she chose fully.

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 23:10:54 UTC

that Opal used more clips to show her character 'in action', to understand her even more.

dvoisine — 2025-10-15 23:11:42 UTC

how Opal chose this character, and also, how this character could be portrayed similarly in America.

I like...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 23:18:11 UTC

I like how Opal made the character Woo relatable and human. Opal pointed out the true nature of her human essence, with Autism being secondary.

I wish...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 23:18:45 UTC

I wish that I knew more about the struggles that Opal encountered in her adult role and could see more of her experiences.

Opal focused on a lot of Attorney Woo's strengths. I like that she included the social interaction with her co-worker- highlighting her attention to detail and compassion.

2025-10-15 23:19:37 UTC

I wish we could have heard some more details about how Attorney Woo handled cases

2025-10-15 23:20:01 UTC

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 23:20:08 UTC

I wonder how the Korean culture responded to this show being released.

I wonder...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 23:20:43 UTC

I wonder if Woo would have had a similar experience in the 80s or 90s versus growing up in the 2000s.

2025-10-15 23:20:45 UTC

I wonder how ASD is seen in Korea versus the US

I like...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 23:40:36 UTC

I like how Brooke presented Abbey as an individual instead of a character.

2025-10-15 23:40:47 UTC

I like that Brooke talked about Abbey's employment! Very cool topic

I wish...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 23:41:02 UTC

I wish I would have kept up with Love on the Spectrum! So glad to hear about Abbey's happiness. I might just have to watch it again now!

2025-10-15 23:41:15 UTC

I wish we could have heard more about the show and how Abbey navigated it.

2025-10-15 23:41:30 UTC

I wonder how Abbey will continue her advocacy

I wonder...

swalter55 — 2025-10-15 23:41:36 UTC

I wonder if the fame and experiences such as the podcasts and recording of the reality show are enjoyable or uncomfortable for Abbey.

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 23:41:46 UTC

I wish that more media attention was brought to these shows. There are so many good movies and shows that I have never heard of but am interested in now!

2025-10-15 23:42:18 UTC

Brooke chose someone who is really on the spectrum. I loved the quote caring herself to Ariel

bmoor102 — 2025-10-15 23:42:30 UTC

I like how Opal took into account Woo's entire character-- not just her strengths. I think it is important that media representations also show the struggles that individuals with Autism go through

2025-10-15 23:43:11 UTC

More about her journey in front of the cameras.

2025-10-15 23:44:25 UTC

I wonder if Abbey ever has to step away from the camera for weeks at a time to center her thoughts and emotions.
