Viewers of Channel 4's Hunted rally round fugitive Alex after he opens up about Asperger's
Quote:
We know that you're supposed to watch Hunted rooting for all the fugitives, but viewers of tonight's (February 1) episode are rooting for Alex like no-one else.
Alex, who's taking part on the show with his dad Bob, spoke candidly about his life with Asperger syndrome, admitting that he often struggles to be independent and has found it difficult to make friends after being bullied when he was younger.
