Hahahaha sorry, I could not resist to make a joke by writing please stand by because of today’s subject is “Please stand by” the movie from 2017 about a girl who has autism and is living in a home for people with special needs who goes on a trip across USA. I will talk about the movie and my own experiences related to that so bewared there will be spoilers.

Subject one: Living in special needs home

This subject I am not having much feelings about since I have only with my parents and on my own in apartment with my brother for a while but now I am alone again. But I have been studying in a special school because of my Asperger’s and we of course had our own needs during that period as well. I was more ready for school than many of my fellow students as I had been in high school while many others had a rough school life. Of course my life have been rough with bullies and such but that is another story. It was a good time and it helped me get the job I still have which makes me jump to subject two.

Subject two: Having a job

This one I have more connection to that subject one. I understand it sometime can be hard to find a job you like and even harder when you have autism or Asperger’s so it is understandable that she can hate her job without finding a new one. I, however, like my job very much. I would never be able to be a sales person like her as it requires to much social of me but I would also have problems saying with a certain voice when trying to sell something or talk about something. I still have bad memories from kindergarten teacher work practice where a person complained that I sounded negative when it was a joy of coming to work.

Subject three: Interests

In the movie the girl is a Star Trek and writer in her free time which really connects to me as I am a writer myself and I love science fiction which I know Star Trek is part of just never seen it much. I know it is a side node but in case you are interesting in my novels and such jump over here now. I understand it can be frustrating not to do things you like just because a person tell you no.

Subject four: Travel

In the movie the entire movie is about the girl traveling from one part of USA to another because she has to deliver her manuscript at a competition. She of course has problems because of she does not explore the world much and the home she lives in have made rules for her. I know I have a protective mom but still I have managed to be on several trips on my own. I have even been as far as Japan, I live in Denmark, on my own without guides or anything.

Subject five: Taken advantaged of me

I do not feel like I have been taken advantage of before (Maybe some people would say otherwise) but I am naive so I do not think it won’t happen even I block everyone who ask about money for bitcoin and the like. In the movie she get robbed while having fun with a kid and I am sure that would happen for me as well as sometimes I am not the best at keep focused.

Subject six: Family

I can understand why some people might be scared of a person does something unexpected and make them worried about what could happen to small kids and so on. My family never did anything special to me since I am not have episodes like in the movie.

Conclusion

I felt I really connected to this movie even that we have our differences and if you have watch Adam from 2009 then this another great movie about Asperger’s and autism.
