Fourteen strangers attend a weekend retreat. All of them men and fathers of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The weekend activities are comprised of a collection of clinical groups and free time spent engaging in sports activities and peer to peer bonding. The clinical groups are facilitated by renown clinical psychologist, Dr Robert Naseef, also a father of a child with Autism. This weekend is an opportunity for these men to express feelings and thoughts up until that weekend had been suppressed. All of these fathers are at different stages in their journey to accepting the fact that they are now raising children with Autism. Of the fourteen men, five were selected to be profiled at home with their families. These men and their families provided unfiltered honesty and insight to the impact that Autism has had on their family structure. In today’s society men are often in the role of protector and provider for their families and showing vulnerability is never an option. Strength and composure is the order of the day. Men are often overlooked when the conversation of “providing family support” to a family that is newly diagnosed. Because of society’s view of men - often, these Dads are suffering silently and are in dire need of a healthy outlet of some kind. This documentary, “Autistic Like Me: A Father’s Perspective” (ALM) shows by example the power of counseling, talking and expressing the gnawing feelings, of pain - guilt, shame, hurt and denial. ALM is a powerful film that will connect with anyone that is raising special needs children and the rest of the population will learn to consider empathy and understanding before judging a situation from the outside.
