Imagine living in a world where sensations are nearly overwhelming—noises louder, colors brighter—and people’s speech and facial gestures are familiar yet somehow indecipherable. Asperger’s syndrome, a neurological disorder that has only recently become widely known, can wreck the lives of its sufferers with fear, frustration, and social isolation. This program looks at how Brian, Leonora, Angus, and Anthony—Asperger’s patients of various ages—cope with the challenges of this ailment. Their poignant interviews reveal that even diagnosis itself can feel like being set free. (19 minutes)
