Post Reply New Topic

Springwatch presenter Chris Packham is to provide an insight into living with Asperger Syndrome in a new BBC documentary, set to air on BBC2 later this year.

The one-off special will follow Packham – who was diagnosed with Asperger's in 2005, at the age of 44 – in his home life and see him interview the world’s leading experts on autism research, as well as a family who have made the decision to put their son through controversial treatment to ‘cure’ his autism.
Last year, Packham opened about his personal struggle with the condition for the first time in his memoir Fingers in the Sparkle Jar.
