Autism New Movie Coming Soon : The United States of Autism
I've used the phrase, the United States of Autism, a number of
times, usually because I'm frustrated over all the passive acceptance of
autism. The stories in the news are endless. Autism is talked about
as if we don't dare to ask where all the disabled kids are coming from--autism
is now just a way of life in this country.
Others are using the phrase in a real attention-getting way, as
the title of a new movie about the face of autism across America.
I saw this report on the film on Feb 11, 2013, on KMEG-TV Sioux City, IA.
This coverage featured dedicated autism activist, Lin Wessels and her
son, Sam, from Rock Rapids, IA.
The website for the movie gives us an idea of what it's all
about.
Director Richard Everts
and his crew covered 10,000 miles talking to families and individuals living
with autism. It sounds like a very personal view from those directly
affected. It also sounds like people with a lot of
different opinions on autism will be allowed to speak.
I can't wait to see this
movie.
