Official Wretches & Jabberers Trailer (Captioned)

In "Wretches & Jabberers", two men with autism embark on a global quest to change prevailing attitudes about disability and intelligence. With limited speech, Tracy Thresher, 42, and Larry Bissonnette, 52, both faced lives of mute isolation in mental institutions or adult disability centers. When they learned as adults to communicate by typing, their lives changed dramatically. Their world tour message is that the same possibility exists for others like themselves. At each stop, they dissect public attitudes about autism and issue a hopeful challenge to reconsider competency and the future. Along the way, they reunite with old friends from the USA, expand the isolated world of a talented young painter and make new allies in their cause.

I have a daughter who is autistic and has just started communicating with a qwerty board. It's just thrilling that this door has opened for her and so gut wrenchingly sad that it has taken nearly 29 years for this opportunity to happen.

I just watched this documentary. I was blown away. The autistic people are truly poetic in how they express themselves...the way Tracy talks can be described as nothing but poetic...
