A is for Autism

Hello

Anyone else going to be watching this, this week?  Though I can guess by the trailer it be mainly focused on children with autism. I wish the government would realise Adults have autism too because when children grow up they become adults. But at least those doing diagnosis are reaching to more adults. Little support out there for us.

I am going to at least attempt to watch it. I think it BBC1 tonight at 9 and something tomorrow at same time.

    Point i was noticing this last week is there so much focusing on the child with autism that they have forgotten their other child-older sister.  How many weeks is this being carried out over. 

    The dad is coping better than the mum.  Not easy but doing better. I found it interesting too that when he attempted to take the bottle of wine from her and not even seconds she was moaning but yet would try to get Joe from stopping listening to his music with frustration. The dad used that to try and show her what it is like for Joe when she stops his music. Naturally she not understood. And Joe walked all that way back to school for himself.

    It was a better episode the second week seeing how the whole family is struggling because one person wont really accept it yet.
