ASPERGER'S ARE US | Netflix Premiere December 11th
by Rebecca Russo - Nov 23, 2016
For the members of the comedy troupe 'Asperger's Are Us,' it's easier to associate with a faceless audience than with their own families. No matter who the crowd, best friends Noah, New Michael, Jack and Ethan have one simple mantra: “We would much rather the audience appreciate us as comedians than people who have overcome adversity.” In this coming-of-age heartfelt documentary, this band of brothers finds themselves at a crossroad.

People with Asperger's don't deal well with uncertainty, and this is the most uncertain time in their lives.
