Talk to Me: a documentary film about children with Autism



Inside View of Autism
I was giving a workshop on autism for special education teachers, and knew I needed something visual and more personal than just me lecturing. This video was just right. The children provided excellent examples of the concepts I was discussing. I appreciated that their parents spoke about the experience of having a child with autism, and we got to see some the repetitive behavior, difficulty adjusting the changes in routine and lack of direct interaction that many children on the spectrum exhibit. It really brought the workshop alive, and we found ourselves referring to the children in the video during the rest of the session. It was an excellent brief, non-technical introduction that raised questions and encouraged compassion.

good detail into families with autism
Good look into some families with children with autism. Not all families are the same. But gives us a look into a few and how they cope.
