“How one family copes as their 16-year-old, autistic son starts full time residential care.”
I just listened to a BBC documentary called Letting Go of James, a story about 16-year-old James who has severe autism.
This half hour documentary is about James’ transition from home to a residential school. James’ family talk honestly about the emotions they experience as James leaves home. I can relate to many of the experiences this family has had over the years, and their emotions during the transition. I know it will be close to the heart of some readers of this blog too.
Letting Go of James is available on the BBC for six days from the date this blog is published. Many documentaries on the BBC are archived to podcasts. I will post an updated link if this one is.
