518    Originally produced by State of the Art in 2013. 
520    In Wretches and jabberers, two men with autism embark on a
       global quest to change attitudes about disability and 
       intelligence. Determined to put a new face on autism, 
       Tracy Thresher, 42, and Larry Bissonnette, 52, travel to 
       Sri Lanka, Japan and Finland. At each stop, they dissect 
       public attitudes about autism and issue a hopeful 
       challenge to reconsider competency and the future. Growing
       up, Thresher and Bissonnette were presumed "retarded" and 
       excluded from normal schooling. With limited speech, they 
       both faced lives of social isolation in mental 
       institutions or adult disability centers. When they 
       learned as adults to communicate by typing, their lives 
       changed dramatically. Their world tour message is that the
       same possibility exists for others like themselves. 
       Between moving and transformative encounters with young 
       men and women with autism, parents and students, Thresher 
       and Bissonnette take time to explore local sights and 
       culture; dipping and dodging through Sri Lankan traffic in
       motorized tuk-tuks, discussing the purpose of life with a 
       Buddhist monk and finally relaxing in a traditional 
       Finnish sauna. Along the way, they reunite with old 
       friends, expand the isolated world of a talented young 
       painter and make new allies in their cause. From beginning
       to end, Thresher and Bissonnette inspire parents and young
       men and women with autism with a poignant narrative of 
       personal struggle that always rings with intelligence, 
       humor, hope and courage. Directed by Gerardine Wurzburg.
