"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.

  • It's always interesting to see more autistic people, and some of the experiments were intriguing. I particularly liked when the GP presenter admitted that medical professionals need to handle autistic people better. I nearly got my son in an EEG(?) helmet but they would only do it with electrodes stuck to your head/hair with paste so the physical/sensory aspects of his autism killed that idea.
