Has anyone ever seen this play, "Lucy?" I had the chance to see it today and thought it was very good. I found it a fairly honest and accurate portrayal of autism from the point of view of an autistic child as well as a parent. And it had interesting things to say about autism and evolution. Highly recommend you go see it if it comes to your town.

Quote:
In a thought-provoking new play, 13 year old Lucy, who suffers from autism, moves in with her estranged, misanthropic mother. Having lived her entire life with her father, Lucy, as well as her mom, struggle with all the difficulties of such an arrangement.
