In the compelling film Miracle Run, Corrine Morgan-Thomas, a single mother of twin boys, finds herself navigating the treacherous waters of social stigma and discrimination against autism.

Shock and disbelief initially consume Corrine, but she eventually embraces the truth, only to be abandoned by her husband who refuses to accept their children's condition. Undeterred by her personal turmoil, Corrine resolves to combat societal prejudices against autism. In a daring move, she enrolls her twins in a mainstream school, deciding not to disclose their diagnosis. When accused of child abuse, she reveals her sons' condition, leading to a recommendation for a different school better suited to their needs. Yet, Corrine remains steadfast in her belief that her boys deserve the same opportunities as any other child.
