"Autism: Life Among
Strangers" is a documentary that looks at this fascinating and little
understood disability that is seriously increasing world-wide. Autism...
follows the lives of the Henderson family who have a young child with
autism. Dale Henderson acted like any other child until he was about
18 months old. Then he began a slow withdrawal into himself, stopped
interacting and started to do bizarre things. It was another few years
of trekking around doctors and specialists before Dale was diagnosed
with autism. This moving documentary also features three adults with
Asperger's Syndrome - a milder form of autism, like Jen who found
out she was autistic at the age of 42. |
