I'll definitely be watching this. Louis says in TV Choice magazine, "Normally, I make programmes about people who are in some way questionable or weird or controversial. These aren't really like that. They're in a different key. The autism programme is very much about motherhood. How do mums cope with this huge challenge? The last thing we wanted was for this to be a woe-is-them, pity the poor parent kind of programme."

Just finished watching it (I had paused it while I got some food). It was good. Nice to see it didn't just go on about 'fashionable' autism too, with nothing but maths whizzes etc.

I've found Theroux's other documentaries fascinating...will grab this one off iPlayer when it's available.

Cheers for the heads-up! :)
