My son has aspergers and she is right. Everything has to be taught. Every expression, every turn of phrase, every manner.. it can be very overwhelming but he is the sweetest boy and unlike all his normal friends and classmates, he would never hurt anyone (feelings or otherwise) on purpose. He loves more than any other person I have ever heard tale of.

I love how Temple Grandin shows how proud she is of her accomplishments. She does it without seeming arrogant.
