• Scott Lerette shared his family’s life story in his memoir, which is now a movie Unbreakable boy, She plays Zachary Levi
• At the center of the story is Lerette’s son Austin, who has autism, a fragile bone disease – and an extraordinary spirit: “He thinks everyone is redeemed by everyone,” says Lerette

“It’s pretty out there,” says Scott Lerette about her life story, became naked in her 2014 autobiography An unbreakable boy: Father’s fear, son of courage and story of unconditional love.

Book – Basis for a new movie, Unbreakable boy, Acts Zachary Levi as a lerette-predict story about family turbulent history: Lerette’s struggle with alcoholism, their oldest son, diagnosis of Austin’s autism and his life with fragile bone disease (also his mother, Teresa), resulting in financial relegation from more broken Bones and surgery, and more.

“As soon as we somehow released a genius from the bottle and opened our family public control, that was what was there,” Lerette tells people, adding that he called him a “bad guy” over his alcoholism.

“It’s like,” I’m Scott. I’m an alcoholic ‘, but now I’ll change it to’ I’m Scott. I’m a bad guy, “he presses.

His son Austin “absolutely” helped him on his way to sobriety – there is a specific moment in the film that is particularly true.

“Zach [in character as Scott] He says, “I wish I could love everything Austin loves everything,” and that’s something I think about every day, “Lerette says.” Because that’s exactly fine. Austin would rather gravitate to the worst human beings to meet them. Because he thinks everyone is buying. ”

This belief in redemption is a key line of plot in which Austin (played by Jacob Laval) manages to turn his younger brother Logan’s abuser, Tyler, in a friend – a guy who says Lerette says that he is a good friend of the family to this day and he is even going to the premiere of the film.

As the central part of the movie, Austin’s “Infant Boy” is “this charming, funny, happy young man,” says Lerette. Also “cannot stop talking” – a characteristic that drives the central moment in the movie.

But “unbreakable” is not only a reference to Austin’s spirit, but also on his osteogenesis of imperfecta – aka, fragile bone disease, which causes easy breaking or breaking of bones. The disease led to multiple outbursts in emergencies and countless broken bones. “We lost the number,” Lerette tells people. “The only real bone he didn’t break was his beetle. He had his fingers, toes, tibia, fibula, ankle, coccix, ribs, shattered elbow, sternum. She broke his back twice. His skull broke several times, his nose. ”

At first he says, “We were so protective. But we just said,” We have to take off the bubble. “We somehow let him go,” he says. “And she was a really good thing we did. He is so self -limiting and self -regulating, and has passed for almost a year without breaking the bone.”

Another example of Austin as Austin is a intense hat that wears in the movie – and in real life. The hat was the gift of his cousin Wendy. “It’s not a props. Wear it all the time-Barrem a few times a week,” Lerette says. “I wish I had half of that self-esteem if I didn’t care what other people think of the T-shirt I wear, I was wearing a hat. And be more comfortable in my own skin to you don’t mind. ”

Austin’s “biggest cheerleader,” including the movie, but Lerette hopes that people will move away from the movie, realizing more about the life and love of children with special needs. “The world in general, our country needs so much help in services, because when a when a child is 18 or 21 [for] Special needs, services usually disappear – I mean, overnight. Boom. Stop. Period. They left. ”

The family struggled to find the following steps for Austin. “As for even half-life, it’s so hard, and he wants more than us,” Lerette says. “He’s 30 years old. He’ll never drive – and it’s not because he couldn’t do it physically, but it’s because he would fall in love with a song on the radio and would collapse. People need services. It’s a challenge.”
