I added it through Firefox extensions. I can upload a screenshot if it's helpful.

I was curious so I added it and now Wikipedia is full of ads. No like.

I think the issue for me is twofold: a) I couldn't connect with the characters-they felt like Asimov plot devices for carrying the story forward and b) too much emphasis on the time traveling paradox riddle. What I mean by the latter was that watching the movie felt more like trying to solve a Rubik's cube but through charts and diagrams. I get that some people enjoy that kind of stuff but I prefer having a solid story line. But I watched it a long time ago, maybe I need to rewatch it with fresh eyes.

Do people actually enjoy Primer?

I have no idea what you're arguing for any more. In one comment you say you read across the spectrum but then you follow up with another comment and complain that ground news is not left enough or something. It makes no sense. I don't know who or what you're arguing for.

Ok. Interesting. I'll take your word at it.

Thanks for the kind words stranger! We are fortunate that we moved to Italy (from US) and they have a -relatively- good integration with the schools. He will need an aid next year in the class for some time so the teachers 'get it' (sort of).

Yes, I will save your contact info. I may actually reach out. There are a lot of things I'm still struggling with (he has a loud projection when he expresses himself and it's almost all the time). I think we sort of adjusted to it over time but it gets heavy at times. I'll stop here.

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like you have your hands full and as a parent I can only empathize. I totally hear you about media representation missing the mark. We have some roadway to make. I'm surprised how many parent friends we have that are relatively clueless (even though I must admit, until this January when we got the diagnosis I was too).

My little one started group therapy about two months ago and I'm super grateful even though the journey ahead is still quite long.

On the Asperger's topic: I was under the impression Asperger's is no longer in use as a diagnosis and was folded into the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). At least that's what we learned this year throughout the diagnosis process.

Stay strong brother (or sister)!

Thanks. Well, we're in our first year since the diagnosis. There's still a lot I don't understand.

By spectrum I mean what you just described. I'm confused now. Didn't you say one comment above that you don't read anything from ground news?

As a parent of a child with Level 1 autism I would never dare speak as an authority on the subject. There's just so much nuance to it. I could give people a surface level introduction but that's it. Being a parent does not make people by default into expert psychotherapists.
