College dreams, and an autism diagnosis lead a teenager on a journey toward independence and self-acceptance. For teenager Jackson Greenway, the future revolves around getting into college and staying together with his first love, Lisa. But when college plans unravel, his relationship falters, and an autism diagnosis challenges his understanding of himself, the transition to adulthood becomes more complicated than he expected. Blending humor with emotionally charged family encounters, this coming-of-age film follows Jackson as he navigates intimacy, rejection, anxiety, and the pressure to fit in. His parents' conflicting views about diagnosis and treatment place him at the center of a larger struggle over labels, support, and independence. As Jackson begins to voice his own needs, he confronts a question that reaches beyond his diagnosis: Who gets to decide who he is-and who he can become? Through Jackson's experiences, the film opens meaningful conversations about neurodiversity, identity, communication, family relationships, and self-advocacy. Relevant to psychology, sociology, disability studies, education, and counseling, it invites viewers to examine how expectations and stigma shape young people's lives-and what it means to support someone while respecting their autonomy.
