Have you ever had a challenge communicating with someone else? In Pixar’s short film ‘Loop’, two teens learn to communicate with each other. One of the characters, Rene, is on the autism spectrum and is non-verbal. We discussed how just because someone thinks differently or sounds different than we do, that doesn’t mean that they do not deserve our respect and kindness.
We also learned about Temple Grandin, a woman who famously wrote Thinking In Pictures about her life as a female scientist on the autism spectrum.
If you want to learn more, feel free to watch the interview with the film-makers above. And if you have a Disney+ account, you can find ‘Loop’ under the Pixar SparkShorts section!
