Autism Family Drama Coming to TV

Quote:
A one-hour drama about a family with a young child who has just been diagnosed with autism is headed to television.

SundanceTV will air the six-episode series “The A-Word” later this year.

I'm confused about the article. It seems like the autism is highlighted here but is it actually the key element of the show?
It sounds a bit misleading.
