If You Could Say It In Words

So. I'm not sure how big my readership is, but I really want to encourage anyone in or near Louisville to come to this movie premiere next month. This film is important for several reasons:
(1) one of Thomas' former students, Nicholas Gray, is the filmmaker
(2) he was partially inspired to learn more about autism and be an advocate for it because of Thomas' stories about Jacq and Joe
(3) the film is about a person with Asperger's FUNCTIONING in a neurotypical world
(4) the film seeks to portray autistics as whole people, instead of 2-dimensional caricatures the likes of Dustin Hoffman's albeit entertaining savant, "Raymond," in Rain Man
(5) my kids are going to be interviewed by a (minor) celebrity as part of the promotion for this film.
