Thank you for posting this. I'm Czech by birth (though my family left the country when I was 2 so I don't relate to the culture much and my grasp of the language is passable at best), and my parents are... very conservative, very Czech, and barely believe Asperger's even exists. Much less that I could possibly have it. I'd resigned myself to seeking out a diagnosis without including them in the process at all, but... I don't know. Maybe if they see this film, it would give us a starting point to at least have a real conversation.
