FINDING THE WORDS
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 elements of each family's long, emotional journey through home videos, photographs and medical reports; as well as interviews with the families, the childrens' doctors, therapists and friends. Commentary on these remarkable stories is provided by a courageous group of doctors all working to rewrite the future for ASD afflicted children by accepting a surprisingly controversial premise: autistic children can recover.

FINDING THE WORDS captures complex human emotions- watching parents move from infinite sorrow to ultimate joy as they realize their dream and recover their child. These eight remarkable families overcome their fears of the negative stigma autism carries to tell their stories- determined to change the world for all of the sick children still struggling to find their way back.
