It was by becoming the father of Angia, whose autism was diagnosed very early, that Samuel Le Bihan discovered what this spectrum was.
“She sees the world in her own way. She tries to build relationships using her own methods. “She’s a child who has lots of strategies for playing with other children
,” he says.

“At home, things are going well, she is a sunny child, but we are not immune to a crisis. She rolls on the ground, screaming. Parents of autistic children know that
,” also explains the actor who is now raising his daughter alone. On TF1, Samuel Le Bihan explains that he has a pragmatic relationship with Angia's disability. Only one fear inhabits her, what will she do when he disappears.
“I don’t have the right to die,”
he says, upset.
His testimony is without taboo and full of pride. Angia is now in middle school, in fifth grade.
“It shocked me where this little girl came from who didn’t speak, who didn’t eat. It's not easy every day but we're there. She has her place, things are going well
,” says Samuel Le Bihan before specifying that his daughter refuses
“to be stigmatized because she considers that it is a weakness and that she can be rejected because of that
