Dads under pressure - living with severe autism

What's it like to be a dad of a child with severe autism? Friends Razaq and Damien chat in the pub about the impact the condition has on their family, their careers and their roles as men.

Razaq: “I struggle to cope with the stress of dealing with my son and the stress of thinking about the future. Trying to live up to this expectation – what’s expected of a male in society – which is too much.â€
