Do people with autism experience love, romantic attraction, and heartbreak the same way non-autistic people feel those emotions? This ABC News program profiles Paul DeSavino, a 36-year-old man living with the disorder who says he is amorously drawn to a female acquaintance. Interviews with Paul, his mother, and autism expert Dr. Peter Gerhardt shed light on the complexities of the subject. An additional segment entitled “My Brother’s Keeper” examines the disorder in the context of sibling connections. A young man discusses his brother’s autism and how it has shaped their relationship, which is visibly expressed in a loving, open manner. (23 minutes)
