Autism Ideas in Midlothian

“In its own understated and thoughtful way, ‘Loving Lampposts’ is a groundbreaking, even revolutionary film.” — Steve Silberman, Author, “Neurotribes”

What would you call a four year old who caresses all the lampposts in the park? Quirky? Unusual? Or sick?

Such labels are at the center of the debate about autism: is it a disease or a different way of being—or both? In “Loving Lampposts,” we witness this debate and meet the parents, doctors, therapists, and autistic people who are redefining autism at a moment when it’s better known than ever before. Motivated by his son’s diagnosis, filmmaker Todd Drezner explores the changing world of autism and learns the truth of the saying, “if you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person.”
