The Reason I Jump

You can see the love and craft in every frame of this movie. There were certain characters I would like to have seen more of, but I understand the constraints. The way it renders autism is very humanistic and he film does a really great job of bringing the viewer into this world. I saw it at the Hot Docs online and really wish I could have seen it on the big screen It reminded me of another film I saw at Sundance a few years ago called Notes on Blindness which does a phenomenal job of 'seeing' the day to day of what a blind person's life could be like in an extraordinary way.

Everyone should see this movie, so we can understand autism, and stop treating Autism and autistic people badly a must watch.

Tears in my eyes.

This is such a beautiful film about autism. A must-see to understand the world of autistic people. Whatever is said about these people, they have feelings, intelligence and everything 'normal' people have in their personalities. Only their experience of expressing and seeing the world is different, would even say, to be more sensitive than us 'normals'. Their outbursts of anger and aggressiveness is only their expression of frustration and sadness for not being able to share anything with us 'normals'. How would you be yourself!!!

Dare I even say, these people are more authentic than many others on this globe.

This documentary (which feels more like a movie) is so special. The way it explores the perspective from people with autism lets you see the world from a whole other perspective.

The macroshots of the people's perception are beautiful, and the music together with the narrated lines of the incredible book (which wrote a child!!) come amazingly together to this movie which lets you rethink about your views on autism, communication, strangers and the human kind.

I did know some things about autism before but this visualisation what children on the spectrum really might experience is different and mind-boggling.

This movie was stunning and impressive. I just saw it at Sundance and everyone walked out uplifted and overwhelmed. It's a must see.
