Normal People Scare Me
Kids with Autism Speak Out - A Film by Taylor Cross
Produced by Keri Bowers and Joey Travolta
We’ve received calls from so many of you! Actually, from all around the world… In response, we’ve made copies of the 10 minute version of Taylor’s video (VHS only for now).
Normal People Scare Me is written and directed by Taylor, a 15 year old with autism. In the film, Taylor interviews teens and preteens with autism and Asperger’s syndrome about what it’s like to live with autism. The short 10 minute version of the film featured recently at the local film festival won the People’s Choice Award, the Film Festival’s Best Pick, and an honorable mention in it’s category.
The longer feature length version of the film is due out in late fall. Taylor is also currently working on a book version of Normal People which will highlight unedited interviews with the kids.
