Sarah Moretz and her mom, Connie Isambert (above left), enjoy spending time together.

When she isn't working, Moretz likes to watch movies.
"I like 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' and 'Forrest Gump,'" she said. "Forrest Gump had, like, a disability, too. At the beginning, when his mom sent him on the bus, everybody made fun of him. But then he met a girl and they became good friends."
She also loves writing letters, and every other Saturday sends simple ones to the two dozen people in her address book.
Moretz has finished special education classes at Santa Rita High School and will graduate in the spring.
But some basic skills, such as managing money and telling time with a non-digital clock, are beyond her.
"She had a teacher who wanted her to work on learning to tell time on the clock at home," Isambert said. "Sarah told her, 'I would, but the hands keep moving.'"
Moretz knows she's different.
"It's not really a worry to me, but I wish I didn't have these problems," she said. "Sometimes I wish I could do those things like a normal person could."
Moretz had a miserable start in life.
She was conceived in prison. Her father was in for manslaughter, her mother for drug trafficking.
"Her mother got out during the pregnancy and consumed a tremendous amount of alcohol," Isambert said. "There is documentation that she drank a pint of vodka the day Sarah was born."
