THE UNITED STATES OF AUTISM

The father of an autistic boy interviews a broad spectrum of Americans who deal with this disorder. During his 40-day cross-country road trip, Richard Cruz-Everts seeks answers as the people he meets show how autism has altered their world, and has even in many cases made them stronger. This compassionate film brings a new vision of autism to the world, more nuanced and more positive than the average viewer might expect. Grades 8–12. Color. Some subtitles. 90 minutes. ©2014.
