MY NAME IS JEVON! (Part 1)

"MY NAME IS JEVON!" is a 30 minute documentary created to go into the world of one autistic young man, Jevon White, who looks at the world in a different way. A low-functioning autistic 17 year old (he's 19 now) from Fort Lauderdale, Jevon does not have the luxury of what we take for granted, such as intelligent speech, normal social interactions and close knit relationships. Jevon was followed over a period of time to watch his daily reactions with his parents and family friends. "MY NAME IS JEVON!" speaks about his development from his earlier years to now in the form old photographs and interviews with his parents, his school community and peers. Autistic individuals/children are clearly misunderstood and go through different challenges; however, they are human beings and should be treated as such.

Please don't mind the microphones. That's all that was available.

@lilmisblonde258...yes, 17. I know, he looks older than he really is. He turned 20 last month. Sometimes when they all go out people wonder who the parent is...lol.
