Autism Talk TV 15 – Fly Away – Interview with Janet Grillo and Ashley Rickards
This blog post is by Alex Plank, founder of Wrong Planet.
Fly Away is a film by Emmy award winning producer and newly cemented director Janet Grillo. I sit down with both Janet and her upcoming star Ashley Rickards. We talk about the film and Janet’s experience as a mother of an individual on the autism spectrum. I enjoyed watching the movie when it premiered in Beverly Hills, California.
Fly Away is a pretty big deal. It’s been playing practically everywhere including a limited run in theaters in major cities around the US. And Ashley’s new show, “Awkward.” is a big hit as well.
I know you’re going to get a kick out of this interview so sit back, relax, and grab a bag of popcorn. Oh, and you need to watch the movie onlineor buy the DVD from New Video or Amazon!




The Movie Fly Away is wonderful as it is one of the first real, true to life films truthfully depicting what a family with a young adult with autism experiences. Congrats and many thanks to Janet Grillo!!!
Great interview! I look forward to seeing the movie. And I’m totally jealous of your (Doogie Howser shirt, btw).
