Hello Mr. Mayer,
I work in the field of autism and was delighted by your beautiful film. I found the scene in the school yard to be of particular interest. There is a huge concern in the autism community about first responders/police and the treatment of individuals with autism spectrum disorders in the criminal justice system. This is a huge issue especially for individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome. In my work, I develop trainings to help the community (families and professional) develop knowledge about ASD and skills to provide appropriate supports. I find your creative approach to tell the story through film a much more fun and entertaining way to reach a broader audience. Thank you so much!
Thank you for such a touching and important film.

Dear Mr. Mayer, My husband and our two daughters have Asperger’s. Thank you so much for making this film. I can’t wait to see it. In the clip when Adam is going on about the theather, I wish I could tell you how many times I have had the conversation with someone in my household about pokemon, hello kitty or engines and the list goes on. Thank you so much. Nancy Meyers
