[ No Audible Dialog ]

You're a psychiatric nurse,
Maggie.

:09:13
You know the diagnosis
as well as I do--

:09:16
the arching back, the repetitive
behavior and the attention deficit.

:09:21
I used to think
it was autism too,

:09:24
but I'm not so sure anymore.
:09:26
It's as if she's listening
to something we can't hear or see.

:09:31
It's a difficult diagnosis
to accept. I know that.

:09:34
But there are a wide range
of degrees of autism.

:09:37
Cody may well be
one of the lucky ones.

:09:39
Reading, writing,
language skills.

:09:42
She may even be able
to express basic emotions.

:09:44
She does.
I know she's a little withdrawn,

:09:49
but she smiles and hugs me and
kisses me just like any little girl.

:09:54
There's a special-needs school
in Brooklyn-- pre through six.

:09:58
They've had great results
with kids like Cody.
