Chris Packham: Inside our Minds, Sunday BBC2

Applegran

Chris Packham is autistic and that may be why it is hard to connect warmly with him - he hopes to help others who also struggle with relationships.

We went to a talk given by Chris years ago and had no idea, back then, that he was autistic.

Yes I watched it on my iPlayer and thought it was brilliant as I did as well with the first series about Autism
Chris Packham with his own diagnosis is perfect to host this programme
4allweknow you ll be missing a very insightful and good programme because of a closed mind

Never have enjoyed watching Chris Packham, doubt I'll catch up with this series.

I’ll try - but this is another ‘national treasure’ I personally struggle to watch. (Along with Monty Don.) There, I’ve said it publicly now! I find them just both too self important.

Not on your own Lahlah. I feel as if no one one else can comment on these issues except Chris Packham...? He isn't my cup of tea either.

Maybe both treasures along with Joe Swash are male and like the sound of their own voices.

He must have one hell of a good agent.

Watched his first set of docus on Autism as my grandson is exactly same as Ken Bruce’s son who was featured on it. Thought is was well done and gave great insight and saw the adhd one last week and felt same- well done Chris Packham

I watched Chris Packham's previous series and will watch this too.

I have 2 autistic grandchildren. Neither of them have ADHD but have friends who do. I find it interesting to get an insight into how the world appears to them and how we neurotypicals can better understand and support them.

On my list to watch also as DS’s partner suffers with it I’m sure though has never said explicitly. I try and be understanding but she can be a nightmare to deal with.

No but I did seeing advertised and texted a friend I thought would find it helpful. It's on my to-do list, honestly.
