Consider This from NPR - Hollywood flips the script in the new movie ‘Ezra’

'Ezra' is a road trip movie, a movie about fathers and sons.

Bobby Cannavale plays the father Max, and he hasn't quite figured out what his son Ezra's autism diagnosis means for their life together.

The movie draws on the real experiences of screenwriter Tony Spiridakis. William A. Fitzgerald, who plays Ezra. And associate producer Alex Plank also has autism, and is the founder of wrongplanet.net. Many members of the cast and crew are neurodivergent, or have neurodivergent family members.

Hollywood hasn't always gotten it right when it comes to portraying neurodivergent people on screen. The new movie 'Ezra' is flipping the script.

NPR's Juana Summers speaks with screenwriter Tony Spiridakis and producer Alex Plank.
