PBS to Air Documentary on Asperger's Syndrome

Friday, December 21, 2007 - by JMcIntosh - Category: Parenting Gifted Children, Special Needs

PBS is scheduled to air a touching documentary about a man struggling with Asperger's syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder that renders him unable to read social cues and makes him prone to obsessions. Nicky Gottlieb was a child of extraordinary talents and odd behavior. Diagnosed at 20 with Asperger's syndrome, he is like a gifted child in a man's body. This sensitive and candid film by his sister chronicles his struggle to leave the shelter of his loving family.

In most areas the film will air on Tuesday, January 8 at 10 p.m. (EST). However, check your local listing. Click here to visit the PBS Independent Lens Web site for more information.
