Three films about Autism are appearing on television, computer or DVD soon.  The first, "Autism Every Day" was originally a seven minute documentary produced to be shown at an Autism Speaks convention.  When it was shown on YouTube they expanded it to be a 44 minute documentary and was shown at The Sundance Film Festival and airing on the Sundance channel on April 2nd.  The show documents 24 hours in the life of eight families.  "Autism, The Musical" will be showing on HBO starting Tuesday March 24 and will stream for free on www.hbo.com for a week starting Wednesday March 25.  This second documentary shows how children with autism overcome their obstacles to achievement.  The third, "Her Name is Sabine" is being released on DVD.  This documentary focuses on the long term care of someone with autism and how it affects the surrounding people who care for them.  In the 90's Sabine was institutionalized for five years.  The documentary shows how in her 20's she was alert and vibrant, then to the institution where she was drugged heavily.  The stark differences show how having someone in your family with Autism isn't a temporary thing.
