Independent film about autism: The Horse Boy
 

Rented this through NetFLix and watched it tonight. It is about parents of a four-year-old autistic boy who seek spiritual insight and healing in an unusual way.

Although I do not know anyone with an autistic child or autism in their life . . . I found this documentary film informative, compassionate and moving. Highly recommended.
