Summary: best film I have seen about autism
Comment: It has been some months since I first saw this film, and I found it to be entertaining and educational, but most of all extremely moving. It shows why autism is considered a spectrum disorder, and how both people with autism and their families cope in the many ways humans do. There is nothing sentimental about the film, and yet is is very humanistic, in the best sense of the word. Kudos to the director and all those involved. Anybody who has someone affected by autism will be moved, and the general public would do itself a favor by watching this inspiring documentary.

Summary: Autism the Musical
Comment: First off: I absolutely ADORE this movie! Every time it comes on TV I just HAVE to watch it.
Adam is an autistic savant who is an amazing cellist, and loves to chase girls on the playground. Henry has AS and is the son of Stephen Stills, and is a walking encyclopedia on reptiles and dinosaurs. Neal is non-verbal and was adopted from Russia and diagnosed autistic soon after adoption. His mom, Elaine, runs the program. Wyatt has high-functioning autism, and is very smart and witty. Lexi is the only girl that is focused on, and she doesn't quite have a severe form.
I love how the movie turned out at the end and I would recommend it to anybody.

Summary: Inspiring and balanced depiction of autism
Comment: I have a 5 year old who has Autism and I thought this movie was right on! What I liked most was that it illustrated the full spectrum of autism. It told stories of quirky kids with aspergers and high-functioning autism as well as kids who are non-verbal with severe communication and social impairments. The best part is that the viewer gets to see all of these kids together as they are led by a wonderful mom who ambitiousy directs them in the production of a play. Very inspiring!

Summary: Sweet, endearing insights
Comment: At first I was skeptical that this would be disparaging to those with Autism, but it was instead a sweet look inside their world.

Summary: portrait of the variety of kids and symptoms of asd
Comment: As a parent and sibling of people with autism, and a part of the special education system, I found this DVD to be very moving, inspiring, thoughtful and honest. It showed the variety of symptoms that can be associated with ASD and how different people cope with them, and the stress on family members and the individuals themselves.
