The boy inside

DVD 2009

Filmmaker Marianne Kaplan tells the personal and often harrowing story of Adam, a 12-year-old with Asperger Syndrome, and a tumultuous year in the life of his family. Adam's condition makes life in seventh grade a minefield, a place where he finds himself misunderstood, isolated, and bullied. Adam's parents coach him on how to avoid confrontation, and his teachers take extra steps to help the other kids understand him.
