The Miracle Project is a fully inclusive theater, film, social skills, and expressive arts program for individuals with autism and all abilities. Through shared creative experiences with peers, The Miracle Project encourages individuals with autism, other disabilities and all abilities to develop social and job skills, enhance communication, increase self awareness, and confidence, ease anxiety and find joy in experience.
Elaine and Neal Hall
Elaine Hall was a top Hollywood children’s acting coach whose life changed dramatically after her toddler son Neal, adopted from a Russian orphanage, was diagnosed with autism. When traditional therapies did not work for him, she decided to try something radical: she chose to join his world instead of trying to get him to join hers ... and the Miracle Project was born.
Originating in Los Angeles, "Autism: The Musical" is a 2007 documentary that follows the lives of five autistic children who write and perform their own musical.

The success of both The Miracle Project and the film has inspired communities throughout the world and has helped thousands of individuals with autism be seen for their ABILITY.
In 1980 1 / 10,000 children were diagnosed with autism, in 2007 it was 1/ 150,  and in  2016  it was 1/ 54 . Based on this information what can you tell about the frequency of a diagnosis of autism?
We also know that Boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.
