This ongoing long term project (started in 2016) tells about an italian family living with Autism Spectrum Disease (ASD). Emilia and Francesco, after having tried for a child for years,
they resorted successfully to artificial insemination (ICSI) and had twins: Luisa and Riccardo. Only nine months after their birth, Emilia became spontaneously pregnant with their third child, Michele.
At two and a half years, Riccardo and Luisa were diagnosed with a severe form of ASD. Unfortunately, just a year later, Michele was diagnosed with the same.
There is 1 child with ASD every 68 children.
