My husband and I watched this the other night. I had originally got it to show to some close friends in order to increase their understanding of autism. We have a high functioning autistic daughter and I myself have Aspergers. Because of this, I felt quite emotionally effected by watching it. seeing the similarities between most children on show and my daughter made me cry a little as it hit hard somewhere inside. But also to watch the effects of having a child with ASD on the family was something I found quite heartbreaking.
Once watched this film, you will have a good idea of what an autistic child can be like and also of how wide the spectrum and how different each individual with ASD is. It was a draining watch but certainly worth it if you have or know someone with a child on the spectrum. I am not sure it was the best introduction to the world of autism to a complete novice.

A very special film.

"Autism: the Musical" wasn't necessarily something groundbreakingly new, nor was it the most complete view of autism (which can be a great deal worse than what you see in the film), but it was a truly inspired and beautiful vision of hope and understanding. The children in the film are wonderful and the adults cover the whole range of what people can be. If this doesn't deeply touch and affect you, then there is something quite wrong. It's a valuable and important film for everyone to see and I applaud its production.

I am the mother of an an almost 5 year old autistic boy, and I had been itching to see Autism: The Musical. Now that I have, I am so touched and amazed by what went into that film. I liked the fact that she did not hide the difficulties these children can have, but she still showed that they are so much more than just that (a fact that can easily be forgotten when the child has a meltdown at the grocery store). I also liked that the director unflinchingly showed just how angry and frustrated that we parents can become, and that that anger and frustration has its roots in the fact that we are fiercely protective of ours and we fear what happens if we are not here. At the same time, those kids were amazing and fantastic and she showed it. Adam is a little ladies man in the making, Lexi has a lovely singing voice, Henry and Wyatt are just absolute stars, and maybe the reason Neal does not talk is simply because the rest of us don't speak angel yet. Everyone should watch this.

As the dad of a very special 10 year Autistic son, I want to say BRAVO to the people who put this work together, it does a great job of showing the reality of the "wide spectrum" of Autism. I am ordering several copies of this DVD to share with friends and family.
