Wretches & Jabberers [HD]

A must see--if you are human.
I saw this amazing documentary at the theater premiere with my sister. We are both educators in special education with an interest in the area of autism. My sis is a school psychologist and I am a special ed teacher. This movie/documentary clearly makes the case...that we need to stop trying to measure the intelligence of people who have autism with traditional IQ testing in the schools. This movie so clearly demonstrates that the inability to communicate effectively, does not make you cognitively disabled...it can however make you a very lonely human being. I left the film feeling very emotional but inspired to continue my fight for autism awareness and I will continue to advocate for my students who have autism. A must see for anyone that cares about human beings...this movie has changed me and how I work with all children. Heartbreaking and Heartwarming.

Enlightening and moving film!
I saw this film last night at a conference for autism and low incidence. I was not an attendee, but rather, a member of the video crew. I've worked live events for almost 25 years and not a single one has made such an impact on me as this one. I really knew nothing about what autism really is until I met Tracey and Larry along with their associates Harvey and Pascal. This film does a lot to show us what really is inside of these two men who are autistic. Tracey's intelligence and Larry's poetic phrasing amazed me. This is not a preachy film, this is a fantastic documentary that is worth viewing for it's film making alone.

Waking Up The World
I have seen this film more than 6 or 7 times every time it is in my area. I also have the DVD. These two autistic men have given there heart and sole to make this film. They show emotion, laugher, but most of all the intelligence that these two guys have is amazing. No one should ever under estimate anyone with autism or any other dissability. It is a wonderful film taking place in Shi Lanka, Finland and Japan and also the home towns of Larry and Tracy. The trip was to show the world that there are others just like Tracy and Larry everywhere who are being out casts because of their autism. I cried , I laughed, and most of all you will be totally educated on just what autism really is about. I recommend this film to anyone who has a person in their life with autism that there is a light at the end of that dark tunnel, just watch Tracy and Larry show you that.
Thanks Tracy, Harvey, Larry and Pascal!
