FINDING THE WORDS - Children Recovering from Autism (2007)

FINDING THE WORDS - (2007 documentary) short version
A Documentary about Children Recovering from Autism

FINDING THE WORDS is the story of eight "perfect babies",
each given a grim diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as toddlers, whose grieving families fight prejudice, misinformation, and despair to get their children well again.

Filmed in thirteen locations across the United States, this hour-long documentary is an ensemble piece, presenting home videos, photographs and medical reports of each family's long, emotional journey; as well as interviews with the families, the children's' doctors, and therapists. Commentary on these remarkable stories is provided by a courageous group of doctors working to rewrite the future for ASD afflicted children by accepting a surprisingly controversial premise: autistic children can recover.
