Yes. I watched it either last year or even the year before.

I think I saw it as part of an Autism Season of programmes, it was informative.

What type of autism do you think Tom had? Is said Oli had HFA & said Alex had aspergers, but it didn't say what Tom had, & before you tell me; I know HFA is not a diagnostic term.

From the programme notes it just states Tom has an Autistic Spectrum Disorder but from watching the programme it was clear he had the most challenges to live with in my opinion.

Do you think the people in this are mild or moderate? I won't put severe as evven an option, because they're obviously not severe lol.

I hadn't seen that before, but it really doesn't surprise me that people view us differently when the only point of reference they have is that of the "screaming ret*d" scene in Rainman, which was of course written by an NT and made it perfectly normal for the good looking Cruise to want to take the autistic brothers money, even making it seem like it was somehow rightfully his.

How many times have you actually seen a film of an autistic person, once or twice? ;)

Mmmmn... Maybe ye; Alex is the most able in my opinion. Would you agree? Although, I think Oli could express himself the bes, but I think Alex didn't appear to have as many challenges as the other 2 did in living in the world. He had a job, but just didn't have a girlfriend, although Oli appeard to go out more unaccompilied didn't he? But I'd say he probbly struggled more accidemicly than the other 2 did. I think people with autism are sometimes difficult to compare since their difficulties are so indevidual.
