When it comes to behavioural problem disabilities like autism, it seems the French are not so welcoming. Especially in the cinema. For this awareness spot that celebrates the tenth anniversary of a law passed for equal rights and opportunities (I assume this means for people with disabilities) TBWA\Paris and Ciné-ma created a spot featuring autistic actor Stéphane Guérin who can play every role except that of theater goer. Heartbreaking, but makes its point well. Also, I'm amazed it's only been ten years since a law was passed of this nature.
