Preview: 12/13/2022 | 2m 35sVideo has Closed Captions
How life turned out for the first child diagnosed with autism, and what acceptance means.
A mother tracks down the first person ever diagnosed with autism, now an elderly man living in rural Mississippi, to learn if his life story holds promise for her own autistic son. Her journey exposes a startling record of cruelty and kindness alike, framed by forces like race, money and privilege – but leads to hope that more communities are learning to have the backs of people on the spectrum.
