Your thoughts on the BBC Horizon Autism documentary, presented by Uta Frith, on Tuesday the 1st April

I watched this last night, and again today.

What are your thoughts on the programme?

  • Thank you - I like Aspergian too but I have come across it before - an Aspie sounds like a wasp lol - I am awfully glad that someonelse can see what I saw in the programme - my daughter included - we have 5 diagnosed Aspergians in my family now and more to come I suspect! - all privately assessed as I waited over 2 years and still waiting on the NHS, so my kind sister paid for mine -

    I am in the process of taking my daughter soon to go private too - so I know a lot about the different types of characters that can be part of the Syndrome - all of my family are different completely, but we do have in common the main characteristics of Aspergers and we have all had an extremely difficult life because of it all - I always have to believe that we go through these things for a reason - and thankfully I  now receive PIP which helps me so that I do not have to work nights so much - I am a nurse but also a Registered Childminder so hope that the Childminding will take off in the future but because of the PIP I can relax more as it was becomming more and more difficult to work as much as I needed to - I hope you get the help and support that you need
