As someone who is asked “Are you sure it’s not autism?”, this documentary caught my eye. Autism is so out there in the news and media thanks to awareness campaigns. But are there times doctors are too quick to label a child that? What if one specialist says “Yes, it’s autism.” and another says “No, it’s not autism, but we’re not quite sure what it is.” How do you treat something you’re not sure of?
This is what this documentary is about – one family’s journey in trying to find the proper diagnosis and treatment for their child. I can relate to this as a parent whose child has no diagnosis, not even a fuzzy one, and no guide to proper treatment. You flail about, try your best and hope something works.
