SCENE: The mother observes autistic son talking to himself at the track meet, she wanders over to remind him this isn't socially acceptable behavior.
THE MOTHER: Colin, you're talking to yourself.
COLIN: (Puts his arm around The Mother. He pats her gently on the back and smiles.) Mom, you're embarrassing me.
But you are still an awesome mom, he said under his breath!
