Autism: The Wall That Knows No Limits 3/4 - Video 29 Min. 55 Sec.


Autism is a mental disability that impairs a person's central nervous system and how it operates, particularly in sensory awareness. In effect, autism impairs a person's social awareness and communication skills.

However, it's also a complex disorder, meaning no two cases are alike, and because it can't be physically detected, is often ignored by unaffected humans. Although boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism, it knows no social or ethnic boundaries.



The award-winning series continues, this time telling stories of how autism awareness is recognized by local communities. Two new families are introduced and talk about how efforts to increase awareness of autism help their respective children develop in a world still unfamiliar with autism.

I hope this program informs you about autism's increasing acknowledgment by the public.

Please share this video with friends, family and also with your contact list on Facebook and MySpace.
