-- The New York Times Book Review
Webfilm Directed by Nick Davis, Produced by Nick Davis and Jane Mendelsohn, Edited by Jason Hutt, Cinematography by Tom Hurwitz, Music by Nico Muhly.
I've just returned to read Far from the Tree for the third time in a year. It's insight, wisdom and compassion are perspective changing and I regularly encourage people to read it. Thank for your diligence and care in writing it.
Thank you for your interest in the book and for engaging with me by commenting here.

For the first time I saw the trailer for your book. I am excited to read it! Great work brother!
I found you by listening to your exorcism story on The Moth. I watched the movie. Now I want to read the book. Thank you for all you do and say for humanity.
I just finished this audio book, and I immediately started listening to it again. I'm a mother of two children with autism and I can't recommend it enough. This should be on every parents book shelf, but especially of those with exceptional children.
I am still reading your book, Mr. Solomon, after having seen/listened to you on TED talks. One thing I do is search out these people you talk with/about in Far From The Tree, on YT for example. And it gives me another dimension to the reading experience, because, say, while I read the chapter on dwarfism, I can see Mr. Clinton Brown III on YT, hear him, or put a face on Dr. Kopits, learn more about this wonderful man, and I find this enriching. I am deeply moved by your book, and the depth of your thoughts and perspectives (e.g. horizontality vs. verticality), and I admit I can't read more than 10-15 pages, or less, and not cry. I am a French General Practicioner, and it would be fantastic if my non English-speaking colleagues coul read you. THANK YOU for who you are.
Thank you Andrew for your compassion and insight...you've played a role in helping me live with my depression.
Looking forward to this book arriving in my mailbox in the next few days.
I have depression and anxiety and autism
INFJ here (a real one, not stating this because I'm insecure or bored), really far from every tree around. About 1 in a 100k people. Planning to get the book but something inside me says it'll be just another failed attempt to find some key I'm looking for a decade.
that guy is biting, all behavior is communication, find out why hes biting, find out the meaning behind a behavior ,
portraying these families as tragedies, and being surprised that there's also joy...does more harm than help. far from the tree? disability is a natural part of humanity, it's not some kind of bizarre thing.
It's an amazing book. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
I spend so much time researching, reading, trying to find answers to help my girl. I can not believe I am just finding this book! There is a part of me so excited to read it and another that is not sure I can handle it. I have a daughter that was born with down's syndrome and is autistic. Her birth mother also drank and did drugs so she has an array of issues and sensory disorders. She hardly sleeps, is pre-verbal, in diapers, is self injurious and suffers from seizures. I always felt like no one else could possibly "get it" and when I saw Bill and Chris Davis, I was like....yes, they get it. My sweet daughter is not broken and brings me more joy than anyone could imagine. I am not saying it is not wicked tough and stressful but I love her dearly. Ordering this book now.
i hope you are both doing well these days
Omg I could cry just watching the trailer! I was looking at what movies were being shown at the theater nearby and this movie popped up, after watching the trailer I will DEFINITELY be going to see this next week!
Midway through the book - excellent reading for anyone who has ever faced questions of accepting difference. The videos online are a real plus. I only look when I've finished the chapter!
Andrew, I have read your book and it’s so beautiful, moving me to tears at times. My son has schizophrenia, which led me to your book during my quest for information, and frankly, empathy. My son was diagnosed in 2013. I became severely depressed as I learned more and more about schizophrenia. I think the depression was and is not surprising as any parent would react this way to their child having serious mental illness. But I realized that part of my depression was also not having anybody to talk to who was experiencing what I was, which led me to FB groups and online forums. And I consider your book one of the most important to me in my experience. Thank you.
beautiful. thank you for sharing with the world.
This isn't on Netflix any longer. I'm happy to read the book but the trailer was so good. Do you know where it is showing now? It looks so moving.
I saw it on Amazon last night.
WOW! Just watch this documentary. I had no idea what it was about before watching. Now I want to read the book. Interesting that the clips in this trailer are from people not in the documentary I saw on Hulu.
I may decide to view some of the books. However, I am suggesting that the families (and my own) read on line (free) two books I endorse. The New Self-Hypnosis by Dr. Paul T. Adams and Unleash the Hidden Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. James K. Van Fleet D.C. I am certain that reading, learning, and practicing what these books suggested would be beneficial to the parents. Bruce W. Marchetta Th.d. Hypnotherapist -educator Baja Ca.
I just watched the documentary - which was absolutely fantastic - and I expected to see the families and people featured here, and I didn't realize that nope, this is a whole different set of interviewees. That's okay - more amazing humans to love. :)
I'm confused.. I just saw the 2017 film Far From the Tree.. then I watched this trailer and it has completely different stories.. where can I find the film that features the stories in this trailer?
Thanx Andrew, for so much inspiration. I like different, it's why I can be happy with myself... and I think it's why I find it easy to connect with other 'differents'... well maybe not all.... but a lot.
this book is amazing, i still pull it off the shelf regularly eight years later. thank you for taking the journey, andrew. really enjoy your insights and the fantastic stories you share
Andrew, thank you the attention and care in this book by uncovering ALL that we are as humans with vast and unique potentials. Your sensitivity and comprehension of the "abnormal" is a testament to the sublime nature of our genome.
I'm really moved by your work and dedication to breaking down barriers between parents and their exceptional children. I will be telling all my friends as young parents to read your book.
Powerful stuff.
The love these parents show their children is the love I seek to show myself and all those around me.
A year ago my daughter came up missing and stopped calling me. Brokenhearted I resigned myself to the fact that my child didn't love me . The truth was worse .
My 19 year old daughter is a prostitute for Dennis Hof ,a man I have always detested . Even worse , she has willingly picked to do this and does not want to see us . I raised a stranger . And no she never loved me .
Dawn, don't write your daughter off -- or the contents of her heart. In my work, I have served many girls "in the life," and although they may appear "willing" their capacity for self-preservation is often so compromised as to easily be exploited. That is, if your daughter has 'emotional issues' and chooses to have a psychological need met by someone who exploits and endangers her be the person that can love and accept her unconditionally -- when he no longer meets her needs. It is likely there will a come a time when she needs food, clothing, shelter --but more than any of those she will need UNCONDITIONAL love... no stern words, no judgments... I dont know what you relationship was like for her growing up, maybe it was wonderful and somewhere along the line she chose other people over family. If that is the case, she may well have a mental health issue that is bigger than just relationship issues. She will need you one day ... please don't hold these decisions against her and please do not assess these decisions as a lack of love for you.
I loved this book so much.
Best book I've ever read.
amazing
