Description:
"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.
