"His future is looking brighter every day," says Theresa of her son, Sean

There has to be a way to combine Sean’s love of movies with his need to socialize and become more independent, Theresa DeMarco thought as she tossed and turned in bed, worrying about her middle child, Sean.

Sean was on the spectrum, and his shyness was made worse by a stutter…except when he was talking about movies.

Since he was a toddler, Sean was an insatiable movie fan. Mention a film—like Toy Story or Happy Feet—and he could quote the dialogue word-forword. Suddenly, an idea sprang to her mind as she lay awake. I’ve got it! she thought.

“We can buy posters for all your favorite movies and frame them,” Theresa said as she shared her idea with Sean the next morning. “Then we can sell them at street fairs and talk with other movie lovers.”
