Summary: portrait of the variety of kids and symptoms of asd
Comment: As a parent and sibling of people with autism, and a part of the special education system, I found this DVD to be very moving, inspiring, thoughtful and honest. It showed the variety of symptoms that can be associated with ASD and how different people cope with them, and the stress on family members and the individuals themselves.
