 Autism. It's a word you may already be familiar with. Most people have a rough idea of what autism is. After all, 700,000 people in the UK exist somewhere on the autism spectrum. Asperger's syndrome is described as a high functioning form of this condition. Those with Asperger's syndrome are generally indistinguishable from your average person. They often go without the social support that others on the autistic spectrum receive. They are given special education to help them fit better into society, but they stand as some of the most vulnerable individuals at all stages of life. At school they are bullied, socially isolated. In adulthood, 70% of autistics receive a significant lack of support from social services. And at least one in three live with severe mental health difficulties. Despite a strong presence in the world of scientific research and social awareness, it stands as perhaps the most misunderstood condition in our society. In this documentary, I'm going to explore the reasons behind this mental health crisis and tease out whether it's an issue of biology or whether it's social.
