More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined. Filmmaker Todd Drezner created this thought-provoking documentary after his son was diagnosed with the disorder. Here he compares two different schools ofautism-related thinking, the "recovery movement," which focuses on finding a cure, and the "neurodiversity movement," which posits that children with the disorder should be simply accepted and provided whatever support they need, without attempting to "fix" them.
