Autism: The Musical
Ok, so one more link to add. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the HBO documentary called “Autism: The Musical.” It premiered on HBO this past Tuesday evening and I thought I wouldn’t be able to see it since we only get like 10 channels at home. But the HBO website is streaming the entire documentary on their website through Sunday. You can watch it here.
In a nutshell, it’s a 90 minute documentary about a group called The Miracle Project that puts on a musical starring a number of autistic kids. You get to view the behind the scenes workings of the musical as well as a glimpse into the lives of these families. I’m sure any family of an autistic child will be able to relate to the highs and lows these families are going through. I’m a big fan of documentaries anyway, and this one was quite well done. If you have the time, I think you’ll enjoy it.
If you want to learn more about the documentary itself, check out the official website for it.

I have a 5 yr old son on The Spectrum and I loved this doc. Worth the time, for sure.

Hello,.
An autism symptoms checklist should be something with which every new parent is familiar because autism is more prevalent than pediatric combined…!!!
