Jackson sandwich
Description
Jackson, the filmmaker's son, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at age 4. Now, at age 9, he is an accomplished second-grader, gregarious, and in the eyes of his dad, wise and insightful. However, it was a difficult road. He was asked to leave five different preschools in six months. The film tells of the behavioral and psychological problems Jackson faced. It also shows the caring professionals that worked expertly and lovingly with Jackson from the age of three to six that played such an important role in his successful development. For Jackson, the very key to success was the early intervention that he received. Those crucial services have enabled Jackson to grow into an intelligent second-grader.
