What's it like to be a dad of a child with severe autism? Friends Razaq and Damien chat in the pub about the impact the condition has on their family, their careers and their roles as men.

Damien: 鈥淓very time I go anywhere for any kind of work I have to stress that is the first thing because there are going to be days where things are just going to go pear-shaped and there鈥檚 nothing you can do.鈥�
