Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 132: Director Marc Smolowitz on His Forthcoming Documentary, The G Word · 29 Oct 2018 podcast

You know, and I and so my whole thing is like whenever somebody rolls their eyes at me, that means there's something going on here, right?

And there's something going on that's really complicated because people don't ri roll their eyes at stuff unless it really really triggers them.

then it's complicated and and doesn't fit neatly into their understanding of things.

And so so as I went deeper and deeper and deeper, I was like I really realized that there was just so much going on here and it was so powerful.

And

Then when we launched, which was I think November of I want to say twenty fifteen, like the going back or maybe later, I can't um my years are blending.

But that said, whenever we launched

It was amazing to see what happened because we were super organized.

We had great mailing lists.

We really engaged advisors and partners and nonprofits in that process.

And the first video that was launched on Facebook was viewed over 13,000 times in one week and was shared hundreds of times.

And out of that,

Came this groundswell of global interest from people everywhere.

I mean, from as far away as Switzerland to Singapore.

I mean, we were hearing from parents.

who said, Thank you for making this film or more more to the point, they said, Can you help me find resources?

You know, and I thought to myself, My goodness, you know, we're the new movie, you know, like we're the new kid on the block.

And and they're contacting us for resources.

So immediately I said to my team, we gotta get a resources page on our website.

And and these parents were who were often sharing deeply sad and troubling stories on email with us.
