Okay!: The ASD Band Film is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Mark Bone and released in 2022.[1] The film profiles the ASD Band, a Toronto-based group of musicians on the autism spectrum who released their debut EP, and played their first-ever live show in a public venue, in February 2022.[1]

The band was first formed in 2019, after three of its four members, Ron Adea, Rawan Tuffaha and Jackson D. Begley, played on stage with Roger Hodgson at a World Autism Awareness Day concert benefiting the Toronto autism charity Jake's House.[2] The fourth member, Spenser Murray, was invited to join afterward.[2] Their first live show as a band had originally been planned for 2020, but after the COVID-19 pandemic forced its cancellation, they recorded several covers of classic pop and rock songs for release to music streaming platforms and began writing their own original songs.[3]

The film premiered at the 2022 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival,[4] where it was named the second-place winner of the Rogers Audience Award.[5]

The band subsequently competed in the third season of Canada's Got Talent.

The band also appeared in The Kelly Clarkson Show.
