🧵 1/3 Just got back from seeing #Ezra.

So, it was good. Very emotional roller coaster. I thought my son was bored but he wasn’t antsy to leave. As we were walking out, he shared that he really liked it. It certainly felt authentic.

The story is focused more on a family and inter-generational perspective, which I think will make it more acressivle and relatable to a broader audience.

@lkanies @hmm_cook It may be worth clarifying what we’re motivating our #neurodifferent kids FOR?

We maintain #routines for daily living needs… getting ready school, homework, bath and bed time.

For #interests, it’s best to let them self-pilot. We can introduce them to new things and see what sticks. But are #allistic kids so malleable that it works differently for them? If anything, we worked to maintain multiple interests.
