Switched at Birth: Daphne and Melody classroom scene (2x01)

[Corni]

I love this scene. I'm incredibly glad Melody talked some sense into Daphne. I have a brother who is high functioning Autistic (and I know it's not the same thing.), and opportunities for him, where he is treated like a normal person are hard to come by. I get so tired of people just shoving off people who are different than you, because they can't hear, they are socially awkward, they have sensory issues, etc. Give them a chance. They really aren't that different from us boring "normal" people.

thank you melody, daphne needed a wake up call.

Wow, I never thought I would get a reply. I usually don't. I agree, my favorite point in this clip is when she signed "Enough with this guy!" But, she had so many good points that I practically watched this clip a hundred times. Every one of those signs was good. I love just watching one aspect of her at a time: her hands or her facial expressions, she is so expressive and can really drive the message home. Marlee Matlin did an awesome job.

You're welcome! Love it, too! Expecially when Melody does the 'enough with this guy' sign. And when she reminds her of the people, that fought really hard for their rights.

Marlin is a good actor I bet she can be a trip when she wants to be and she is still pretty plus daphine is pretty

Thank you for posting the whole scene. I love this moment.

Agreed 100%!
If you haven't watched the movie 'Temple Grandin', I highly recommend it. I just watched it last week and it's about an autistic woman from the past century whos ideas completly changed society's views on handling livestock. Truly moving film!
And as a future biology professor, I'm starting my ASL course next month, so I can give my best when it comes to teaching everyone willing, hearing or not.

I knew all of this without captions, although I am fluent in ASL sometimes I have trouble when they sign kinda fast

[ayeshatabby]

Can somebody tell me how to show "love" in Sign Language...?

[kythrathesuntamer]

As an autistic opportunities don't come along for us often either, so I chose to use my Social security checks to file an LLC and create a few for myself ex nihto.

Because I can do that.

I am continuing my post, there just isn't enough character space. I suppose the way I study someone is because of my passion for dance. I like to break down the steps so sometimes I need to see things multiple times to get everything and really enjoy what I am viewing.
