Inside our Autistic Minds: Chris Packham fellow Autistic TV programme on tomorrow BBC 2 about Autism

Definitely want to see this. A bit of nuance could be on the cards here! 

Readers' comments are a sight to behold...

Thank you Steven. Just read a few of the comments, what a bunch of idiots. they are discriminating. What makes me angry is that if they were being mean to people of different races and colours they would be taken down and blocked or told off. These comments from some are just as bad and horrible racism, it is still a type of discrimination. I hope they watch the programme and get educated. 

Yes, I agree, he will not be able to cover every type of autism. But I am sure that he will cover a good range. I trust his judgement. I will be interested to hear your opinion on the shows when/if you watch them. 

Good on ya, just read it and you played a blinder there

That's fair enough. I haven't seen those programmes and haven't seen the people you refer to being represented on TV. Let's wait and see the show.  I'm glad Chris is doing the programme too. Im not sure if he could cover "the whole spectrum" in two shows though! It'll be interesting nevertheless.

You did brilliantly. Bold and defiant.  

you make a point there. But there had been lots of programmes etc media coverage of people with non verbal and 24 hour care needs, they are represented much more than we are. And sadly it creates narrow minded people who think all autistic people are like that. So I am glad Chris is doing this show, he has an non -verbal man in the show too, so he is  going to address the whole spectrum in this series, no doubt he should hopefully cover those that need high levels of care too, so that a broad range of autistic people are covered and get their say.
