"Am I Autistic" on Channel 5 (can stream)

I watched this and enjoyed it. I know one of the people in it personally and so was extra pleased with this show.

There are some interesting new theories too.

  • Just watched it, very nice to see an older person being included. The healthcare professionals do need more training, my own wife has been an NHS staff nurse for about 18 years, autism was covered one morning for about 20 minutes during training and nothing ever since. It’s only living with autistic person that has made her more aware of autism. 
    Great to see any program showing autistic people in a positive way. I watched Bella Ramsey last night on TV, I didn’t know they are autistic, the subject wasn’t mentioned in the interview, I just seemed to recognise their behaviour, I googled them afterwards and they were diagnosed at 18 years old. Somebody on a set had recognised their behaviour and mentioned to them that they might want to look into autism more.
