Fly Away Movie Review

I recently saw a movie that was so honest about the struggles of low functioning Autism it made me cry. I found Fly Away on Netflix instant streaming. It's the story of a single mother and her struggles to raise her low functioning Autistic daughter. I loved how it didn't flinch about the meltdowns, and the exhaustion of  having a child with big limitations. It also showed how Autism contributed to the end of her marriage.

But at the same time it also showed how much she loves her daughter and the small moments that the parents of Autistic children live for. It showed that under all the Autism she was a girl who loves her parents, ice cream, and her stuffed lamb.
