    Showing different perspectives of Autism.

    This movie is a must see for everyone of all ages! This movie was a beautifully written depiction of the everyday challenges and triumphs for families who have children with autism. It also gives a glimpse of what autism can look like through the eyes of the child. This movie will make you laugh, cry, and smile.
