The Boy Inside
Marianne Kaplan
Canada ï 2006 ï 47 mins.
An award-winning filmmaker turns the camera on her 12-year-old
son Adam in this powerful documentary about growing up with
autism. Adam has Asperger Syndrome, a form of high-functioning
autism characterized by socially and emotionally inappropriate
behavior. Unable to socialize normally with his classmates,
school is a nightmare for Adam. He is regularly excluded or
bullied, and left his last school after a boy pulled a knife
on him. A rare and intimate portrait of an increasingly common
form of autism, The Boy Inside follows Adam's dramatic family
life as he struggles against the odds to graduate elementary
school and make sense of bullies, girls and life in the real
world.
