Finding Tonio, a film on Autism

Tonio was developing typically until 22 months. Thereafter, he started acting sick, waking up at night, staring at space, laughing for no apparent reason and wandering off aimlessly. He lost his acquired social, emotional, cognitive and communication skills. On his second birthday he lost his words and drifted into his own world. On the first of April they received the diagnosis -- autism. Finding Tonio tells of the painful and emotional struggle in trying to bring him back. Losing a child to Autism is in reality like losing a child. The film tries to show alternatives in possible preventions, cures, and an awareness of what these families go through. To be released in December 2008. Original music by Yoshie Kubota, Javier Galea, Colin Kennaugh, Steve Barden, Kara Johnstad, Jaydeen Georgeff, Jason Hensel, and many other international artists.
