A mom is alone with her fraternal twin sons after they’re diagnosed with autism. She tries to give them a normal childhood.
The life of Corrine Morgan-Thomas, the mother of twins Stephen and Philip, changes drastically when she finally finds out that her sons are autistic. The first few doctors she takes her sons to are unable to diagnose them with any problem, saying that they are just fine; fortunately, Corrine takes her sons to a specialist who diagnoses the boys with Autism. When she tells her husband about their autism, he says he doesn’t want to deal with the autism, so she decides to leave him. She is determined to fight the social stigma of autism and to have her sons be treated like any other child.
„Zac Efron doesn’t rely on stereotypes to portray Stephen, and he emotes so well that you might even find yourself tearing up at points.“ – Cosmopolitan
„Breaking no new ground but avoiding mawkish sentimentality thanks to a winning performance from Mary-Louise Parker.“ – Variety
„If i had to rate this film i would give it 10 out of 10, as it nails all the stereotypes and give a brilliant and insightful look into the life of a family who’s children are autistic.“ – sarahcoul.blogspot.com
