’Neurotypical’ shatters any preconceived notions about autism and autistics. It’s a documentary that doesn’t overstep its intelligence and makes a statement without a soapbox” - Film Monthly

“A groundbreaking documentary. . . . Is it possible that that what is traditionally considered a handicap may be part of the collective human condition as we evolve? . . . A unique look at autism and what it means to the people who have it” - The Washington Times

“While so many discussions of the disorder focus on heartache, Neurotypical discusses life from the point of view of autistic people. And their take on normal, or ‘neurotypical,’ society is quite remarkable, revealing and even funny” - United Feature Syndicate

“A film about autism seen from the inside outward. . . . We get a sense of varied experience, of humor and of desire. . . . The point is that we are all on some sort of spectrum . . . each with a uniquely wired brain and an individual way of interpreting the world and coping with it, and each with a gift.” - Los Angeles Times/Chicago Tribune

“The film addresses not only how people with autism relate to the world but how others relate to them.” - Tribune Media Services

“Giving a voice to people with the condition who see autism not as a disability but as a difference to be proud of” - The Guardian

“The film raises questions and offers insights into perceptions of ‘normal’ brain functioning” - Raleigh News & Observer
