I see myself in many of the parents in the movie

Extremely moving. I definitely see myself in many of the parents in this movie and understand their frustrations. One quote from the movie that will haunt me (since I have thought the same) is the mother who said "I know this is terrible but I wish I will outlive my child. What parent would ever dream such a thing". I have thought in my deepest darkest thoughts is what will happen to my autistic son once my wife and I are gone (he is an only child).

I hope this movie will help bring compassion for a disease with very little public understanding. These children and parents are very fortunate to have the Miracle Project in their lives.
