I Love this movie June 27, 2008
I saw this movie in at a theatre long before it came out on HBO because I don't take cable. I laughed, I cried, I was completely taken by this movie. I left deeply moved and went right home after seeing it and emailed the makers of the movie to let me know when it was available for sale. They emailed me and I bought it. It still makes me laugh, cry and moves me beyond belief. I love this movie and highly recommend it if you know or love someone who has autism, or is the parent of a person with autism, works with people with autism or just want to know a little more about how it effects any of these people.

If you're looking for a musical to watch for entertainment, this probably isn't what you're looking for. This is a wonderful documentary where I learned more about the life of those living with autism: both the child and his/her family. The woman who is putting on the musical with this wonderful group of autistic children does an amazing service to the kids, their families, and all who watch this film.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful May 30, 2008

I just saw this today and was very moved by. As someone with Asperger's Syndrome/High-functioning autism it was nice to see my fellow aspies and auties portrayed in such a loving light. I highly recommend this to everyone.
Inspiring! You will love these kids. May 26, 2008
As a mom of a child with autism, I was eager to see this film after it was released. I have since seen it 4 times. The first viewing was at an autism conference in a room with a few hundred parents and family members of individuals with autism. To say it was breathtaking is an understatement. We were all on the edges of our seats, laughed, cried, nodded our heads and glanced at our fellow viewers throughout the film with looks that said, "Uh huh. Me too. Us too. I know how that feels. We've been there." I can only say "thank you" to all those involved with this sweet, sad, sensitive and realistic view of the autism experience. Bravo to those who made this happen. And to the brave and gorgeous children featured, my your paths be paved with magic and peace.
Wow. This is wicked good. May 24, 2008

I am the mother of an an almost 5 year old autistic boy, and I had been itching to see Autism: The Musical. Now that I have, I am so touched and amazed by what went into that film. I liked the fact that she did not hide the difficulties these children can have, but she still showed that they are so much more than just that (a fact that can easily be forgotten when the child has a meltdown at the grocery store). I also liked that the director unflinchingly showed just how angry and frustrated that we parents can become, and that that anger and frustration has its roots in the fact that we are fiercely protective of ours and we fear what happens if we are not here. At the same time, those kids were amazing and fantastic and she showed it. Adam is a little ladies man in the making, Lexi has a lovely singing voice, Henry and Wyatt are just absolute stars, and maybe the reason Neal does not talk is simply because the rest of us don't speak angel yet. Everyone should watch this.
