Radio programme about autistic adults

Post Reply New Topic

The half-hour programme Adults with Autism will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 29th September at 9pm and repeated the following day at 4.30 pm. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mwms8 .

"With an estimated half a million adult autistics in this country [the UK], Mike Embley asks why so many are diagnosed later in life. He finds out about the help and support available as well as the latest in scientific research, from the investigation of genes and hormones to MRI scans to look inside the autistic brain." The programme will include interviews of several autistic adults.

I'm glad DST hasn't ended here yet... That will start right when I get off work. Now to find a proxy based in the UK, since the BBC blocks streaing to the rest of the world....

hi woodpeace.

I happen to be one of the people being interviewed on the program.

I hope you find the show interesting and thanks for drawing peoples attention to the show.

Wishing you well.

BBC only blocks TV streaming to the rest of the world. BBC radio streams can be listened to from most countries.
(I'm listening to a BBC Radio 4 stream, straight from BBC's website, this very moment, at my home in Israel).
Then I will certainly listen to it.

I'm glad they've changed that, then. Last time I tried streaming anything other than the world service, they blocked it, because I had a US IP.

Chris,

I heard the programme and thought it was very interesting and positive towards autistic people. I liked your contributions - they were really powerful.

Thank you Woodpeice

i was also impressed with your comments on the program.
