The situation is unique, but the story is universal. Watch this video to see my family's path supporting my own son, and why I think this film can resonate with anyone.

A story that resonates
The play Love and Communication was produced by Passage Theater in 2010. Word of mouth within the tight-knit autism community spread quickly and carried over to mainstream audiences, leading to sold out shows in the final week.The production won the Brown Martin Barrymore Award in 2011.
A topic of interest
Autism is increasingly being reflected in television and film. But there has yet to be a narrative feature that directly addresses the impact on parents of getting an autism diagnosis. While the world of Love and Communication involves a mysterious condition, and an almost Kafka-esque quest for the right treatment, at its core the film is a universal story about a couple struggling to find common ground.
