Becoming a parent is something you can’t ever truly be prepared for. When your child is diagnosed with a developmental delay, everything you think you knew about parenthood changes. Often the few support systems available are tailored towards mothers – but where does that leave dad?
‘DAD’ is a documentary created to provide guidance, information, and support to fathers with children on the autism spectrum. The film shares the stories of twelve Aussie fathers as they discover a whole new world of parenting and what it means to be a dad.
Watch the trailer and stay tuned for the film release in late 2018!
