  • i think that this is very informative but the title is a bit misleading. it takes a little too long as a viewer to get to any meat about jonny's story. you spend so much time with the good stuff about how they get these kids to socialize and communicate -- it's great and well presented -- but i kept waiting to hear from jonny's family or anyone who could speak about him intimately. that would really draw the viewer in...to intersperse this boy's story more. i'm giving you a GL because despite that huge concern, i really think you have some good material here...a lot to work with if you decide to revisit.

  • This gets my GL. I have a couple of friends who have autistic children, and I’ve had the opportunity to have some within the spectrum in classes during my teaching career.

    There is so much more needed to help with this growing (identified) segment of the population. The discussion has to continue.

    GL. Keep it up.

    Please take a moment to check out my latest POD, <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/22026443">BIG MEDIA fails again</a> and feel free to give it a GL if you like it.

    Thanks.

  • I am a big advocate for autism awareness, and I think it is important to inform people on such matters.

  • nicely produced and touching. I gave it the greenlight. the only thing is current might want it to be a little bit shorter to air it on tv. The women who runs the autism school is truely a saint.

    check out my pod "a window to my world" about my life with an inborn genetic disorder"

  • Awesome you guys, I'm glad i got to see your video. What an amazing subject you chose, and executed so well. (This is Tiffany Israel from Brooks by the way!) :)

  • Hey guys, contacted Troy before reading his bio. So he/you DID make a pod. Good job! I do echo some of the criticism you've received to this point. the teacher (bless her) is long winded. She spends a long time making her points. That's her, but I do wish you had included the other significant care-givers in his life. especially since you introduced them in the home movie footage.

    Really nice job though guys. Excellent for student work, and I do greenlight. Its relatively as good as some of what we see on Current though not as concise. I'm sure you won't have any problems becoming great at this. Just keep working.

    I look forward to your next effort. Best of Luck.
