Documentary following a group of autistic children and their families spending a week in an intensive therapy camp, which their parents hope will help them to transform some of their challenging behaviour. Eight-year-old Abel puts everything into his mouth and his parents are terrified that one day he is going to either choke or poison himself. Four-year-old Jack runs away from his parents as fast as he can, meaning they have to double-lock doors and
are unable take him out without holding him tightly. Seven-year-old Leo won't shower or brush his teeth and fights off any attempt to cut his hair. Can the specialist therapists at the camp transform such negative behaviour in just seven days?
