How to Dance in Ohio
In Columbus, Ohio, a group of autistic teenagers and young adults role-play this transition by going through the deceptively complex social interactions of preparing for a spring formal. Focusing on several young women as they go through an iconic American rite of passage, we are given intimate access to people who are often unable to share their experiences with others. With humor and heartbreak, How to Dance in Ohio shows the daily courage of people facing their fears and opening themselves to the pain, worry, and joy of the social world.

Absolutely Fantastic
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
I just saw this brand-new doc, made earlier this year (2015) in Columbus, Ohio, and it's another triumph for the continued first-rate line of documentaries from HBO. This film covers the trials and tribulations of a group of autistic people preparing for a Spring formal; which of course, contains anything/everything an autistic person would be terrified of- human interaction, loud music, public displays of affection, etc.. But at the same time, it's the perfect setting for such folks to practice and overcome their fears. I did think it was interesting, one point in the film, when the organizer of this whole thing- Dr. Amigo- points out that here we are, dragging these people into all the misery that non-austistic people have to deal with..?? LOL He does have a point, you have to admit it...
I was channel surfing and stumbled across this presentation. The movie was captivating and had a profound effect on me. The typical population does not realize how challenging it is for differently able persons to socialize. Thank you for this wonderful documentary. My daughter has to be encouraged to socialize with family members and friends whenever they come for a visit. She prefers television, computers and alone time more than being in a group setting. It helps to know that we are not alone and that other families have love ones with similar traits. It's great to know that there are resources available. I hope to include this documentary in our college library collection.
