Thomas Brown, a filmmaker in Ohio, is making two films, one called Ant Boy and the other Silent Hero, which both include autistic characters. Today’s Port Clinton News notes that both films are to be about autism, bullying and the emotional issues that children face. Brown (who can be contacted by email) is looking for an autistic child to play the autistic child, if he can. Would this be one of the few times or even the first to have someone autistic play…..someone autistic, in a film that’s not a documentary?
