Review of Autism: The Musical (2007) by Kate C — 25 Mar 2008

Whats bothering me most about this movie is that it isn't about the kids as much as it is about the parents... that was disappointing.

Its a good movie and definitely a worthy project, but I do feel as though the woman running this program was overstepping her authority a bit and threw out Stanly Greenspan's name as a way of legitimizing her... it doesn't really matter given that the results of the program were so great... but I would have liked to see some professional input and to hear some kind of correction when a parent aired a feeling that fed a stereotype or misinformation. I'm also curious where the funding for all of this came from...
