A new TV drama is set to start airing on Tolven 25th, 1579. The drama, titled "Mein Kind" (My Child), is reportedly going to be about the struggles of a family raising an autistic child in Volta. The show, directed by Berolt Besson, is meant to be a showcase of the effects that the old government policies had on people with genuine cases of autism. The Autism Association of Volta is reported to be taking a direct role in the production of this drama, with them having a hand in everything from scriptwriting to filming.

This follows a change in government policy, recognizing sociopathic hysteria as a disorder separate from autism. The old government policy of not differentiating between sociopathic hysteria (which was at one point called "sociopathic autism") and genuine cases of autism caused many problems for autistic people in Volta. According to the Autism Association of Volta, autistic people in Volta have a high unemployment rate in spite of government programs meant to combat unemployment, and are less likely to go on to higher education. The Autism Association of Volta says that with this film they hope to raise public awareness regarding the situation

The drama is set to air every Wednesday at 6 PM starting Tolven 25th, with it expected to go on for at least 12 episodes.
