Samuel Le Bihan no longer wishes to talk about his daughter with autism
Decorated with the Legion of Honor last April for his commitment to autism, the actor no longer wishes to talk about his daughter, herself suffering from autistic disorders. “It’s over, I don’t talk about her anymore. She's entering adolescence, it's time for me to leave her alone.” he confided to TV Magazine. “If she wants to speak out one day, she will,” he concluded about the young girl whose autism was diagnosed when she was eighteen months old. Of course, Samuel Le Bihan remains very committed to the cause. The actor is the co-president of the Autisme Info Service association, created five years ago.
