You’re welcome! I never s...Hi Tonia and Adelaide, <br /><br />You’re welcome! I never saw the full episode so I don’’t know the verbal subtleties of the “I get it” line. Sorry. The sad thing is some people with TBI do feel damaged or messed up and if Jesus feels this way Emma’s comments are not helping. Yes I remember talking to an autistic filmmaker who said his brother and himself had to be physically restrained during a fight that got out of hand(after they were verbally asked to stop) for their own safety. To contrast his experiences with a more ableist one he showed me this “Autism Speaks” video where an autistic child got upset due to his food sensitivity but the ableist mom took the complaint as a reason to restrain the kid. I don’t remember what video it was as I last saw it back in 2008 so I’m not sure if its still online.

Is it the "Autism Every Day" film or one of the successors? I know that in some of the material about Muppet Julia, there was a boy called Samuel who was restrained.<br /><br />Jesus was probably responding to the "I'm sorry" part from Emma.<br /><br />Lena-the-principal - what a moment for me.<br /><br />And what she says reminds me of what a relative said to me. It is a very fine line between validating and dismissing and I have just read the Rooted in Rights post about Gaslighting.<br /><br />I appreciated the Verbal Deescalators very much.<br /><br />And it felt like we were in an Ian Dury story/music clip. Or I am thinking of Ian Curtis and that song "She's lost control". If you know your British New Wave/punk/New Romantic bands as well as the ones which are a little bit alternative. Tom Shakespeare mentions him in his blog.<br /><br />And that point, Margot, about "jealous characters on TV" - and in books - "smashing stuff without being restrained". And once one thing is trashed, you can't stop. And then as many as is needed to make the point to Brandon.<br /><br />The vigilance with the subtle and sub-vocal is something I can identify with when Jesus shows it.<br /><br />And, no, Jesus has not been given that chance.<br /><br />How does he outrun Brandon? Too much like Mice and Men and if Lennie were in that situation - with or without rabbits. I seem to remember Curly was fairly fast and wiry.<br /><br />Loved the Jeopardy game you two played, Tara and Tonia.<br /><br />I think internalised ableism and external ableism are twins. Faces of the same coin. Though they develop away from one another.<br /><br />Feeling bad for and sorry about... that is another pairing /parallel too.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060372686205861977.post-35796528272909279222017-12-28T11:31:15.715-06:002017-12-28T11:31:15.715-06:00Yes, definitely believable that Gabe and Ana would...Yes, definitely believable that Gabe and Ana would talk about Jesus between themselves, I agree. Running in the rain? Not as much. Agreed again.<br /><br />I can see restraint as a last resort kind of thing if somebody is hurting others especially and not responding to any verbal redirection etc. Jesus was very clearly destroying property here, in a room empty of other people. And Gabe never even spoke to him before grabbing him.<br /><br />And maybe it comes across differently in the scene, but I never got that Jesus meant "I get it" in reference to Emma's abortion. Maybe this is because it comes RIGHT after Emma says, "You were just so messed up from everything," that it feels like he is agreeing with her that he IS messed up :(<br /><br />Thanks as always for your comments!Tonia Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406280143637741965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060372686205861977.post-45368964489958204322017-12-26T22:03:51.679-06:002017-12-26T22:03:51.679-06:00Great review.

Although it may be a violation of Jesus’s privacy I still think that is an entirely believable instance where the information would get out between Gabs and Ana. The running in the rain however is not. The restraint reminds me of an “Autism Speaks” video where I saw a mom restrain a kid with autism when she could have just read his body language to avoid the whole thing. There are cases where people may need to be restrained from hurting themselves and/or others and I haven’t seen the episode but I imagine restraint may not be as needed here. I see jealous characters on TV trash stuff a lot without being restrained. I think Jesus means “I get it” in regards to the abortion itself, not the lying.

I see jealous characters on TV trash stuff a lot without being restrained. There's a lesson in another show that goes "The truth is always better than a well meant lie" and I think the characters need to learn that. I think Jesus means “I get it” in regards to the abortion itself like Emma not regretting the abortion, not that she was right about lying.
