Default Mudder

Mudder, I taught children who were very much like Mr Zuckerberg, they were wonderful students, but very much like how he is portrayed in the movie. They were very focused, just as he was/is. I wasn't "dissing" him, he is brilliant, obviously, but in the opening scenes he is very argumentative and condescending towards a young woman who goes to Boston University, and he goes to Harvard. He is portrayed as cold, indifferent, and almost bordering on being sociopathic. It is just a movie, and he claims it to be a work of fiction, which I am sure parts of it are. I never met Sean Parker, I did meet and teach Shawn Fanning's younger brother at Harwich Middle School, and I met him when Napster was very new. These young men are very bright and innovative.

Since I have a master degrees from Northeastern and one from Harvard, both in education, 30 years apart from each other, I understand the classification, educationally, of an autistic child/adult, then and now.

I apologize if I offended you, it wasn't intentional.
