LIVING THE AUTISM MAZE was produced and written by Burlington resident and mother of an autistic child Anne Barbano. The film, which was co-directed by Anne and award-winning Middlesex filmmaker Jeff Farber, is about parents' experiences raising children with Autism in a maze of conflicting information and competing interventions. The film was funded in part by the Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council.

Feedback from those who have seen the film has been extraordinarily complimentary. A sampling of that feedback includes:

"The family stories are honest and powerful."  Patti Prelock, Ph.D - Chair, Dept. of Communication Sciences, The University of Vermont

"A truly inspiring and heart-rending piece of honest filmmaking. Numerous issues and struggles outlined resonated with me; the situations may have been different, but the feelings and frustrations were not."  Sean Barron, author of There's A Boy Inside Here.

"...should be useful for parents and professionals." Dr. Bryan King - Director, Dept. of Psychiatry, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, Seattle, WA

"Not an educational film alone but an inspirational one." Frank Manchel, Ph.D - Film Critic and historian, Professor Emeritus, The University of Vermont
