My nephew is a 12 year old low-functioning autistic boy. He cannot speak and he is in diapers. I’d give anything to hear his voice (aside from screaming and grunting, of course).
Understanding how we define normalcy--the life of a twelve-year-old autistic boy.GEORGE (2000) directed by Corra and Grahame Weinbren is described by Amy Taubin in The Village Voice as “an exceptionally intelligent and moving documentary that explores Corra’s twelve year old autistic son George, who uses his own video camera to make a movie within the movie. In fact, the film is about how we define normalcy.” GEORGE had its American theatrical premiere at The Screening Room, New York City and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, The National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., The Gaga Film Festival, Berlin, Germany and aired on HBO in July 2000.

I agree that he is not autistic enough. I dont mean that to be rude but it seems George has a very nice life, without the struggles of severe autistic children. I expected and would rather see a documentary about what they go through, this documentary just seemed to be about a typical boy with a nice family. I failed to see how life was different than that of a regular child. None of his classmates seemed to notice anything different about him either, despite the fact that the filmmakers tried very hard to get them to say otherwise. I would trade George’s child hood for mine any day. Posted 11/22/08 by Lauren
