As autism has exploded into the public consciousness over the last 20 years, two opposing questions have been asked about the condition fueling the debate: is it a devastating sickness to be cured or is the variation of the human brain just a different way to be human? The film takes a look at two movements; the recovery movement, which views autism as a tragic epidemic brought on by environmental toxins, and the neurodiversity movement, which argues that autism should be accepted and that autistic people should be supported. After his son's diagnosis, filmmaker Todd Drezner visits the front lines of the autism wars to learn more about the debate and provide information about a condition that is still difficult to comprehend.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This documentary exposes a wide range of viewpoints.It demonstrates the flaws in the "mercury vaccine cause autism" argument.It shows how different families handle the every day reality of living with and empowering autistic people.It considers the effect of environment, and diet.Personally, I've got the most mileage from "Disconnected Kids".I now have optimism that Autism and ASD can be eliminated in some cases and certainly improved in all cases.We will all need to become experts in Autism, Asperger's and ASD.This movie has helped.
