Review of The Problem with Thomas

For me, as it will be for thousands of other parents, this was an intimately personal piece. I have an autistic child. I thought the producer did an excellent (and tasteful) job of capturing the feelings parents have as they slowly realize that, yes, something is wrong with your kid. The fear, doubt, concern, it's all there in this piece. It will rivet any parent, or any person close to a parent, of an autistic child.
