Kristie,

I'm with you...I see my son's soul as lost (as in floundering, still finding

the way) more than lost (as in gone forever). I really want to see this

movie when it comes out. Is there a release date yet?

I LOVE Hawaii. My husband and I magically met on Maui, and it's still very

dear to our hearts. I hope to have a vacation home there down the road, but

not a place to raise our children.

Re: Really loved this trailer!!!!

I see what you are saying. I don't consider my own child a " lost

soul " but I do work daily to have a child engaged with me, strong

attention, strong affect, strong joint attention....are these

qualities that are missing and " lost " from him right now? Yes they

are! But I pray, and work, and research and pray some more that one

day these will be " found " in my son. So while I agree the thought

that the boy being a " lost soul " is morbid and terminology I may not

use..I definitely see his point of view.

The two things that I really focused in on in this film were: 1.)

the overwhelming feeling of so many options for therapy a parent

faces in the world of autism..see him at his first DAN conference

with the beautiful Coldplay song playing....moves to 2.) the family

in the beautiful water of Hawaii smiles swimming and happiness. I

know not all families with autism experience this because perhaps

they are dealing with further severity...but I could totally relate

to the love and devotion and fun it can be with my son, especially

in the water! and then the anxiety it can be facing research and

wanting those moments of love between the family to be 100% of the

time and not just in the water or ocean.

Did anyone notice the man who is the father films in Hawaii the

series Lost. I mean seriously beautiful filming especially scenes in

the waters of Hawaii. Do they have services there? If so perhaps

it's time to move!
