I saw something about that in the TV Pages! Could prove interesting
it sounds interesting, and something i want to watch,
at least it seems to be from the perspective of actual auties/aspies, instead some researcher,
but i cant watch it now cause it says BBC TV programs are only available in the UK.
I saw the programme last night, it was pretty cool. I could identify strongly with what some of the boys deal with.
I'll watch that on iPlayer later on!
i could personally relate to sreaching for employment and feelings of frustration ,despaair ,anxiety and depression it brings especially when have ASD this makes the effort have to work harder and better than NT's so could link to Oli through that point .
and tom when he got physically aggressive,angry isolation upset etc as i used to be that violent lash out at my parents be frustrated and angry at everyone and everything around me for being 'autistic' in first place so annoying as nothing you can do change it!!
i was going to be in it but BBC3 wanted 3 boys instead of girl a 2 boys!! pretty gutted but hope one day i get so show my side of story!praying and wishing,hoping and dreaming plz plz i beg!
though glad that ASD different POV and experiences where shown though eyes of 'us' alot of us have common stuff that we can all relate to in some way or another! i think made society think through maybe abit more than they have in past!!
I watched it today. I recorded it.
My general views was it was a good representation. I wanted much longer program though. I wanted to see how they got on, what help was available, how they were diagnosed..
I did not like the mother of the guy with the died hair (I can't remember names well) She was not good and did not really understand him. she made him feel like a little boy.. I can relate to this looking back. I always felt I was more mature than my class mates but then in many ways I was immature..
A good program.. wanted more..
Just watched it on iPlayer, was very interesting, I like how they looked at a few different autistic people too.
Some of the things Tom's mum said made me angry, but TBH I can tell she has good intentions.
For once, this is actually a documentary I'd tell someone to watch if they wanted to learn more about autism! Much better than that "Make Me Normal" garbage Channel 4 did!
EDIT: oh, and if Tom's anything like me, he'd have that address memorised anyway
It was good, I could relate to a few aswell. I'm in the same position as ollie in the job scenario. I was in work for 2 years and now this.
i think the program was really good and choose did boys and show diffents of asd, so good show,
