Rather than focusing on what it means to be autistic--this piece observes how the family dynamic changes in the presence of autism. The psychological demands that Thomas' parents have endured are revealing of both the complexities of autism and parenthood. The producer does a fine job of editing his interviews with the parents and integrating narration so that you have a substantial understanding of the family but you are also given enough freedom to draw your own conclusions about how they are managing. This piece is poignant and satisfying emotionally and intellectually. You could broadcast this on any show that deals with family dynamics, behavioral disorders, or coping mechanisms--or simply broadcast it because it's a good piece and you have the time.
