Public Television Documentary Highlights Crisis for Adults with Autism

I found a very interesting article, that brings to the light concerns that many of us have in regards to autism.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Over the next 10 to 15 years, an estimated 800,000 children with autism will age out of their school systems and look to state and federal governments for support services and resources to meet their many needs.
That statistic is among several staggering facts detailed in “Autism: Coming of Age,” a film produced by award-winning filmmaker Catherine Sager for Springfield, Ma public television station WGBY, and sponsored by the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual).
“Autism: Coming of Age” begins airing this month on local PBS affiliates across the country through the rest of the year. (Call your local PBS station about air dates or check MassMutual’s Facebook page for listings – Facebook.com/MassMutual)
The hour-long documentary provides an inside look at the lives of three adults with autism and their families. “Autism: Coming of Age” includes expert commentary from advocates and state government officials who detail the long-term challenges of providing quality care to adults with autism.
