How autism training helped my family

A new study offers a potential breakthrough in the care of young children with autism.

Giving mums and dads the skills to become "super parents" can dramatically improve their child's autism, a long-term study has shown.

In the training, parents watched films of themselves playing with their child while a therapist gave precise tips for helping their child communicate.

Adumea and her son Kofi took part in the research. She and one of the lead authors on the report, Jonathan Green, discuss the impact the training has had.
