I was extremely offended by this film. First, the film allows parents to speak uncritically about their beliefs that autism is caused by vaccines when it's very clear that the science has proved otherwise. Second, the cherry picked physicians they choose interview corroborate that point of view even as they reveal there isn't any scientific study to support that.
What they don't realise is that the very thing they're working for - many of these families want better support systems in place for their children - has been derailed by people who are scurrying to find a "cure." Indeed, they even feature someone who has supposedly been "cured" of autism.
The film doesn't engage with anyone in the neurodiversity movement who reject this idea that there can and should be "cured."
