I saw the movie and Linda reminded me a lot of me in my teens. I was very obsessed about keeping the house clean and I hated when people leave things out of place or track dirt in or wear shoes on the floor. I also loved jumping when I was little and I ate snow and still do if we got any. It's rare to get snow here in Portland, happens at least once a year. OCD is very common in us on the spectrum.
I thought it was accurate how Linda acted because I have been on autism forums and I have seen aspies saying how they didn't cry or feel sad when their grandparents die. I didn't feel sad when my grandfather died. I didn't cry when my great aunt died or my great uncle but my parents and no one else was sad when my great uncle died because he was ready to die because he was in pain. My great aunt on the other hand, I was only 11 when she died and everyone cried. Some people cried when my grandfather died but I didn't cry because he was old and he couldn't do anything and his memory was gone. But I think I be sad if I lost my own child, that mean I wouldn't have a grand child. I am sure Linda felt sad too and was upset about it but just didn't know how to show it. I noticed how she kept following her routine and didn't mourn over her daughter's death. I know most people would mourn and not want to go to work but I am not sure how they spend their time alone. I also noticed how Linda didn't cry at her own daughter's funeral but most people would cry over the lost of their loved one, my mom cried when my grandfather died and my great aunt, my cousin cried too over my grandfather's death. I can't remember if others cried or not.
