Autism is a World

"Autism is a world" is a documentary about Sue Rubin, a woman who experiences autism.  She was diagnosed as a person with mental retardation until she was 13 when she began to communicate using a keyboard.  Now she is a junior in college.  This is a fabulous documentary by Geradine Wurzburg (who directed Educating Peter) from CNN that I highly recommend.  You can order the DVD  through Amazon.com  (enter "Autism is a World" in the search box).

Caleb's Story

[From the video jacket]: This 11-minute video profiles Caleb, a young man with significant disabilities, and the many people who have come together to support his and his family's vision for a full life -- at work, at home and in his community.

The video was designed to help audiences think about many aspects of two big questions: What is an ordinary life? Should an ordinary life be imagined differently for a person with significant disabilities?
