This would have been more appropriate to post yesterday, but this animated rendering of an interview between a mother and her son (who has Asperger’s) is lovely without being schmaltzy. The kid has a naive but searching intelligence that results in some difficult questions (“Have you ever lied to me?”). The mom is just as genuine in her answers (“Probably”). It’s only four minutes in length, but it’s enough to give us a meaningful peek into a complicated and loving relationship.
