Autism Every Day
Movie • 2006
ReportShe instructed the families she interviewed not to do their hair, vacuum or have therapists present, and appeared with her film at homes crew without preliminary preparations Eight families, each with an autistic child, permit a camera crew into their houses for 24 hours to immerse us in their lives. The film is loosely organized around themes: yesterday (when the infants developed as expected for a year or so), diagnosis, morning chores (breakfast, teeth brushing, getting dressed), stress and exhaustion, marital strain, siblings, finances, school, everyday dangers, being in public, and the future. Throughout the parents are candid, sunny, poignant, and aware as they talk while interacting with their children. Parents communicate the difficulties of their lives, the redefinition of their hopes, and the bone-weary depth of their love for their children.

Literally the entire film. The whole. Entire. Thing. For instance, a mom ADMITTED to wanting to murder her daughter and herself by driving her car off a bridge. A girl was crying when her mom was forcing her to go onto a swing set when she didn’t want to.

If this is the documentary I’m thinking of, a mom ADMITS to wanting to kill herself and her daughter by driving her car off a bridge RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER DAUGHTER but decides not to for the sake of her “normal” other daughter.

Assuming this is referring to that Autism Speaks “documentary”, literally the entire thing. I haven’t seen it myself due to severe trauma related to autism related abuse, but I read the comments of the video and it’s nasty. At one point a mom was forcing her daughter to go onto the swing set when she didn’t want to and the girl began crying, and the mom said it was very embarrassing as many people nearby looked very upset, however it was MUCH more likely they were upset at the mom for forcing her child to do something she didn’t want to do rather than the daughter crying. Parents also mentioned wanting to kill their autistic child but decided not to since they need to be there for their “normal” child. Also, a girl said that they wish their sister didn’t have autism (likely due to brainwashing from her parents/autism speaks)

The whole entire film is just “autism moms” saying nasty stuff about their kids and general Autism Speaks related propaganda.

I haven’t seen the film myself due to autism abuse related PTSD, but judging it being about why autism is a “bad thing” it likely did feature children being restrained as that’s considered an “acceptable” method to “calming down” an upset kid.
