TITLE: Autistic-Like: Graham's Story
FORMAT: DVD
LOCATION CODE: D-AUT16
GENERAL INFO:This 50 minute documentary film is a startling report from the edge of the autism epidemic, showing one dad’s determined search to find the right doctors, the right treatments, even the right words to describe his son. This film furthers the national discussion on autism by exploring the medical, social, and public health issues faced by families whose autistic-like children have no clear diagnosis and are offered no specific treatment.
When there son was just 17 months old, Erik and Jeannie Linthorst suspected something was not quite right. Experts and therapists told them their son was autistic. Sort of. Maybe. Some called him autistic-like. Others said he was not autistic at all!
Erik took on the conundrum confronting many parents of kids who are “mildly disordered”. What should the treatment be?
This DVD is an intimate family portrait showing one dad’s determined quest to find the right therapies, the right doctors, and even the right words to describe his son.
