So powerful

“As the mother of a teenager with developmental disabilities and autism, I found this series so respectful of people like my daughter. The series appreciates the reciprocal relationship between Arnoldo and his family. (So often, reporters treat families like heroes and our sons and daughters like tragic mistakes. Not this one.) It deeply examines the fear that our communities often hold towards our sons and daughters. It examines the question of consent and agency for, and control over, people with developmental disabilities. I found it so refreshing. I loved that the reporter wanted to respect and listen to Arnoldo himself.
Years ago, I heard Lou Brown say that my own girl would be safest in wide open regular spaces with people who know her well and have no power over her. He said she would be most vulnerable in separate places with people who have power over her and no competent witnesses. We keep working to provide that for her. I so badly wish Arnoldo had that, too. This series clearly illuminates why all our communities need to be familiar with our sons and daughters so they can understand and appreciate and support them to make their own contributions and their own decisions.”

“I greatly appreciate you and your teams passion for pursuit of the truth and I think the world would be better informed if programs like this were more publicized. (Just a small language note, at least twice in your narration you referred to what is technically called a lectern as a podium)”

“Thank you so much for focusing an entire season on the faulty system we have in this country for not only caring for people with developmental disabilities, but also respecting who they are and valuing their incredible strengths. I am a board-certified music therapist who works with a lot of...”Read full review »
