AUTISM IN AMERICA is a powerful and emotional documentary that chronicles families living with autism.  From moderate cases to extreme, the film explores what it's like living with this disability on a day to day basis. 

 

What is autism?  What does that word truly mean?  "Autism in America" not only answers that question, but also disproves the many misconceptions often associate with the word.

 

In America today, 1 out of every 58 children are born with autism.  This is a growing trend that seems to be ignored by most of the national media.  The film ventures to prove that autistic people are similar to the rest of us.  They have hopes, ambitions, talents, and dreams. 

 

Awareness.  Love.  Acceptance.  These are the themes of "Autism in America."
