Fantastic documentary of a mother of an autistic son, as she tracks down the first person in the US diagnosed with autism, who is now an elderly man living in small-town Mississippi, chronicling his journey through life and sharing the process she and others have gone through in assisting their children in the transition to adulthood. In A Different Key shows the challenges different socio-economic groups face in the processes of diagnosis, care, and support as well as including families in various stages of school, adulthood, and connecting to the broader autism community. We highly recommend this documentary, and it is available on the PBS app or as a private screening through the movie website. Both the PBS and movie links are posted below:
