Things I "learnt" (I saw that in the article and it bugged me so much)
- The theater can be a very comforting place for those with autism (or at least it was for young Gabriel). It gave him a safe place where he could experience life without the stresses and strains of difficult social interactions.
- Just because it is common among cases of autism, doesn't mean it will always be the case. In Gabriel's case, he showed signs of imagination. He showed signs of empathy. Many of the things the doctors told him he couldn't do, he did with ease.
- Movies can teach a surprising amount of things to its viewers. Gabriel learned various words, phrases, and life lessons (I'm sure) from the cinema. It really is a beautiful thing to think about.
What I think
- It is amazing. Miracles happen every day. I usually try to avoid sounding cheesy, but to bad. I do what I want in my blog. Anyways, I think it is fantastic that Gabriel learned so much from the cinema alone. Maybe that movie wasn't all bad after all.
- I hope that Gabriel learns even more valuable lessons from the cinema. Good luck!
Do a lot of movies have a similar effect on autistic children or was this a strange occurrence?
