Autistic Gardener TV programme

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah I loved the guy hosing down the tree root! He was having such fun -- oblivious about where the dirt was going, haha! He's the same guy who said in the clip from next week's show "We'll have to rob a bank"!

I love how they have a range of people -- that guy, who is so fun and "out there," and the long hair guy who is reserved and has difficulty expressing himself sometimes. Then you've got the head guy Alan who almost passes for NT, aside from the pink hair and purple nail polish, haha!

I'm really looking forward to the next episodes. I'm already thinking this Alan guy needs a long running series; he's a really entertaining presenter.

The tree stump guy is Charles. I love him, he's so funny.

Not many things about autism are funny (more like informative documentaries and that kind of thing) but I love how this show is interesting, informative and hilarious. If it was my opinion I'd say to make it a long series (better than most the s**t on TV especially during the day) but I guess it's up to the viewings and interest.

And as tetris said, Charles. My favorite so far. Just funny by nature it seems. Hopefully they don't rob a bank and sort out their money problems

Well if Charles is the one robbing the bank, he's going to be the most charming and upbeat bank robber ever!

I hardly ever post on these forums, but I just want to say I really enjoyed this! It finished yesterday.

Loved the autistic gardener, they explained about autism and how it affects each individual and kept it brief but gave enough info for people to understand.
As for the gardens, they had really neat ideas. loved the sound sensor friendly one and the first garden in the series with the giant at the end, so cool.

Personally I didn't get into the syndicate found it boring.

I have always been a gardener.

Was indeed an interesting programme and next Wed. I'll miss it not being on anymore. Hope they can start up something similar for cooking or some other household activity. (I can't garden due to severe allergies to flowers and plants.)
If I lived in the UK I would consider approaching Channel 4 about a kitchen-related show with ASD participants.
