I have mentioned a number of Autism-related documentaries in earlier posts. These are: [A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism (aka ‘The Sunshine Boy’)](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/9), [The Horse Boy](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/agricultural-specialisterne-rural-employment-revolution-for-those-with-autism/50615/62), [Normal People Scare Me](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/188), [Through the Heart of Tango](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/193), [Wretches & Jabberers](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/197), [ARTS: A Film About Possibilities, Disabilities and the Arts](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/198), and [The Sandwich Kid: A Film About Siblings & Disabilities](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/199).

‘Autism: The Musical’ is another such documentary. The film, released in 2007, was directed for HBO by Tricia Regan…

Here is a link to a trailer for the documentary, which was well received: [AUTISM: THE MIRACLE PROJECT TRAILER - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xdp0VYRrZw)
