The autistic me: One year on

Post Reply New Topic

Follow up documentary on 3 British men, ages from 16- 24-25. Taking a look at the themes of employment, love and teenage struggle, 1st programme was critically aclaimed, should come on bbc i player sometime in the early hours of the morning

I watched it. It's pretty good and it is nice to see that things have worked out well for 2 out of three of them. If I could offer Ollie a job, I would!

so glad to see Ollie out of the clutches of his mum. He looked very cool with his pipe and seemed so much more interesting and alive in his new flat.

And Tom was fab on the guitar, i hope he gets in a famous rock band.

I think both programs showed how people with ASD have trouble with over controlling mums and need help becomeing independant and living away from their family, hopefully the show will lead to more help with this.

i personally pretty much refused to share things with my family academically from about the age of 13, not because i was doing badly, i was doing well, its just she started working and i didn;t see the need. I find money hard to keep mind, i do prefer to spend and eat a lot, if i have lot of free time

Sounds really interesting, perhaps a bit like the "Up" series? ("7 Up", "14 Up" and so on.) I hope it makes it to the States.
