Understanding Autism

A family with an autistic child can provide support and therapy, but when children become young adults, where do they go? This documentary focuses on the social and health programs that provide support for autistic people outside the home. It examines a high-functioning autistic adult and his family and shows the struggles of parents of autistic children in their effort to provide freedom and independence for those children. The documentary also explores a group home for autistic young adults, showing the tremendous challenge that people living with autism face, and how these programs provide hope and opportunity in a situation that seems hopeless. (24 minutes)
