Our Thoughts
This movie is absolutely wonderful. Yes, it focuses on Tyson who has autism, but the main point also focuses on very real things that teens struggle with. Acceptance. Tyson has big dreams and goals but never sees himself limited by his autism or anything holding him back.
Tyson’s Run shows true friendship and support and how teenagers seek for approval and acceptance. I loved every minute. I cried and I laughed and I ultimately cheered Tyson on! This film is perfect for the family and instills some life lessons we can all learn from no matter our age.
