Hi All 
There's a documentary that is going to be showing on HBO, about some young adults on the autism spectrum confronting rites of passage: "HOW TO DANCE IN OHIO is a story of the universal human need to grow, connect and belong as uniquely dramatized by individuals facing struggle toward social survival."
I just found out about it and wanted to share, because it looks to be respectfully and thoughtfully produced, and might be well worth even nagging someone with access to the channel should you not have your own. It originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and starts showing on HBO Monday 26 October.
Summary, trailer, and reviews here: HOWTODANCEINOHIO.COM

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
