As parents/relatives of autistic children and those involved in the care of autistic children we fully intend to promote the boycotting of the movie "The United States of Leland" due to its portrayal of the murder of an autistic child solely for entertainment value. This disturbs all of us because at a time when we are fighting for the rights of our children it is unneccesary and damaging to our cause/convictions to portray our children as helpless victims of an illness in which death becomes a welcomed "euthanasia" for the child. We are afraid that there willing be negative repercussions as a result of the inaccurate portrayal of an autistic person's value in todays society. Violence and discrimination of the disabled needs to stop and this movie does nothing more than promote it.
