What Audiences Are Saying

"GORK!" offers a compassionate and honest perspective regarding the dynamics of a family struggling to meet the needs of a son with Asperger’s and other disabilities while trying not to compromise the needs of other family members. I was moved by the powerful testimonials of Adam’s parents and siblings, and I admired the honest dialogue between the family members as they navigated the challenges posed by Adam’s disabilities and behavior. What a blessing for Adam to have been placed with the loving, witty Terrill family; the moments of raw humor, love, fear, vulnerability, pride, etc. moved me to tears and left me admiring their willingness to share Adam’s story: a story that will help many facing the same challenges."

-- Cindy Postler, Mother of three

"So powerful on so many levels...it wasn't a glossy-sugar-coated movie version with a happy ending. Showing the struggles that the family endured will allow others to admit that it is more often hard and draining than it is wonderful and fulfilling. It's a little like someone admitting that 'the emperor is naked'. A huge bravo!"

-- Jennifer Black Reinhardt, Mother
