    Sorry, can't help with the dvd but she's written some books that might be of interest to your son about her perspective on her life and her autism.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It was on TV last year. It really is an excellent film, but as an Aspie I found it hard to watch because they emphasised the effects to show what it was like for someone on the spectrum, so if you are on the spectrum its a bit like being hit in the face with a wet kipper! So I could only watch it in small doses, and in the end gave up. But it was good for explaining how it is for me.

    Some of it is available on Youtube, but I DID find it on Amazon here:
