Thank you for posting this video. I have two boys and I have asked the same questions that the families asked and was brushed off like its something not important. I think it is important because they are my children, every family needs to know if there is something wrong with their children. Once again it just seems like African American children are just brushed under the rug.

Thank you for telling "our" story of broken dreams, denial, anger, fear, guilt, shame and isolation. It's comforting to observe fathers displaying their vulnerability. I will forward your Real Movies For Real Families to others.

Could be a lot of kids in Africa not in the institutions- could be a lot of autistic African kids that didn't make it long, or that are kept somewhere other than institutions- lots of places w/out great access to institutions. Could be higher-functioning, non-institutionalized autistics excluded from count by lack of screening. Could be the rate actually is lower, and the genetic factors are less common.

Psychiatric services in Africa are scarce; rate of diagnosis would be expected to be lower.
