Plot
What “living on the autism spectrum” means for those affected and their environment. To find out, the camera team accompanied autistic people into their world. The documentary shows the challenges they face in their everyday lives and lets them tell their personal stories. It is accompanied by two renowned autism researchers, Tony Attwood and Professor Ludger Tebartz van Elst, and dispels the clichés that most people have about autistic people. Because autism is very diverse. The documentary takes an exclusive look at the current state of autism research in Professor Jürgen Knoblich's gene laboratory in Vienna.
