The "A" Word

Jane10 from what I have read it was based on something written by someone with experience of the subject. (Sorry to be so vague) Well reviewed by those involved in autism, as far as I'm aware, but could be wrong.

There is an article about it in the Radio Times which gives further info, as yet haven't mastered how to do links from this thing, sorry!

Good little actor. Aren't these kids great?!

I watched it.

We used to wonder whether our son was somewhere on the spectrum. I realise now, he isn't. No way. Thank the Lord.

Yes. It's doing a good job. (Could other parents really be that cruel - not inviting him to whole class parties?)

I'm hesitant to comment too as I know so little about the autistic spectrum.

I thought it was well-acted, and it was interesting that Joe's parents were trying so hard to convince themselves that he was just a bit 'quirky'. Will keep watching to see how it develops.

I avoided it until I'd heard what the autism community thought of it. Having worked in this field for decades I was wary of ASD being used as entertainment. It might be OK. Will wait and see.
