Education vs Reality: The Battle for Adults with Autism

Video Description

Best Kept Secret is an intimate look at the emotional and complex journey of young adults with autism and their families as they transition from the structured world of school to the uncertain realities of adulthood.

This film follows their struggle to find a life beyond the classroom for their children—one filled with purpose and dignity.
