With an estimated half a million adult autistics in this country, Mike Embley explores the autistic mind and asks why so many people are diagnosed later in life. He finds out about the help and support available as well as the latest scientific research, from the investigation of genes and hormones to MRI scans to look inside the autistic brain.

I don't see anything indicating that this programme will be available again through the BBC iPlayer, so it may be necessary to catch it live either today at 21.00 or Wednesday at 16.30. To listen go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ and click on "Listen Live" at the top right of the page.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ you can listen to it live via the player at the top right of the screen in the link. I don't think they'll have location restrictions.

Ear opener topic

I wish more NTs could listen to this. I understood about 85% of it. My CAPD is a bit of a problem. A transcript would be a good idea for those of us who are visual learners.

:) thanks for the link, Gromit.

It was a very good broadcast. The BBC is so much better at informative and educational broadcasts than are done in the U.S.A. This broadcast is better than I have heard on PBS which is the closest thing to the BBC we have in the U.S.

There was some very interesting input from Simon Baron-Cohen in the broadcast. (He is the cousin of Sash Baron-Cohen, well known for has role as Borat).

I saw that the programme will, after all, be available for a week. If there is someone you think should hear it, there are a few days left. And you could write to ask your local station or Public National Radio to get the programme from the BBC and play it.
