How to Dance in Ohio (2015)
terrible, would not recommend
The documentary portrays autistic people as less than or needing to be fixed (an autism speaks sign can be seen in the background which was my first red flag). One example is when an autistic woman was trying to set boundaries at work, she was reprimanded and they made it seem like she was being rude which she wasn't. I had to skip that part as she started to cry as the "boss/therapist" criticized her. The whole premise of the movie is to help "poor little" autistic adults how to socialize. It would have been a good movie if the non-autistic people were nicer. It makes it seem like having an autistic child is a burden when all of the autistic people in the movie are having the same challenges as any other young adult. Overall, it makes me want to puke seeing the way they treat the autistic people in the movie.
