My local chapter of The Autism Society did a screening of Wretches and Jabbers last night. It was fantastic. It's both heart-wrenching and encouraging at the same time. I think Larry and Tracy send an important message about judging a book by it's cover. What's inside is always so much more interesting.
Another example supporting my theory that most people with autism have above average intelligence.
Watch it! I command you!
Yes!!! I blogged about this movie last April. I LOVED it. This movie has hardly gotten any attention, but it's extremely insightful and gives a rare glimpse into the minds of people who are more severely affected by autism.
ReplyDeleteI hope it does start getting more attention. So many people are under the impression that severe autism=unintelligent and this movie shows that is usually not the case. These men are smart, feeling people. I love how Larry speaks. He has the heart of a poet.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will have to check it out.
