Chris Packham: Asperger's and Me 9pm BBC 2 12/10/2017

I watched it just now - I found it very interesting.  I had read his autobiography 'Fingers in the Sparkle Jar,' so there were a few things that weren't a surprise.  I like that he came forwards as an Aspie man - I doubt there would be others on the box who would've admitted the same (if indeed there ARE any).  I do think it would be good to have the female side of Asperger explored - I would definitely be watching as would many, many others.

Quite a few people in showbusiness have come out about it, and have been pleased to.  Many of them talk about it positively.  Gary Numan is convinced that it has helped him with his musical creativity.  Then there's Daryl Hannah, Dan Ackroyd... and Paddy Considine:
