BBC Autism season
On 22 April at 9pm, BBC3 will launch a new season of autism programmes. The season has come about due to the popularity of ‘The Autistic Me’, a documentary first broadcast last August.
The first film is a follow-up to ‘The Autistic Me’, called ‘The Autistic Me: One Year On’. It revisits the people who were in the original documentary to see how their lives have progressed.
Scenes in the documentary include a meeting with MP Theresa May at Westminster to discuss the NAS ‘Don’t Write Me Off’ campaign and a session at the National Autistic Society Hertfordshire Resource Centre.
