In the Netherlands, more than 200,000 people have autism. They all have their own story. This is the story of Gerard, who was only diagnosed with autism when he was 54, and his wife Esther. 'Communication is more difficult than playing the violin. You always have to wait and see whether the other person has understood you', says Gerard. Communication is a mutual problem, you have to meet each other in the middle, his wife thinks. 'You wouldn't immediately expect it from someone with autism, but you are always there for everyone', Esther says to her husband. 'I can easily organize other people's lives, but in my own life it is sometimes chaos', Gerard responds. This video is part of the AutiCollect campaign. We are raising money for the Autism Fund.
