He will be using video segments from his documentaries, on his family's therapeutic journey with his son Jack (diagnosed with ASD in Feb. 1996) Parish also previews his upcoming public television documentary (Being There With ASD) which features 12 families around the country who are dealing with the day-to-day challenges of Autism.
