Inside Our Autistic Minds – Episode 2 of 2 – BBC

·

Chris meets Anton, a teaching assistant and trance DJ with a deep love of Middlesbrough FC, and Ethan, a 19-year-old student and aspiring rapper from Essex. He helps them make films to reveal to their friends and classmates how Anton feels about change and Ethan about hypersensitivity to noise.

Chris also meets Dr Luke Beardon, an expert in autistic hypersensitivity, and Dr Punit Shah, who helps him to understand both Anton’s restrictive and repetitive behaviours and Chris’s own need for order in his life.

    Another excellent episode and the two short films made to show family and friends how Ethan and Anton are each affected by Autism were both highly relatable to.
    To hear Chris Packham talk so openly about some of his struggles was valuable too.
    It was an absolute bonus to see Luke and hear his explanations of hypersensitivity.
    As an autistic adult I found it all life affirming; we are not alone, we have our own Tribe.

    Hope there will be a second season. These episodes are so beautiful, and brilliantly put together and thought through – the short video clips especially of Murray has touched me deeply, his message is so profound and I get emotional every time I watch it. The sensory overload clip of Ethan, omg, just brilliant and I can so relate. And Flo’s masking, acknowledging it is a survival response in order to fit in. I had so many revelations about my own experience and struggles. Luke Beardon put it so well, the sensory overwhelm yet the sensory seeking of things that are recharging and calming. Inside Our Autistic Minds is a beautiful expression of lived autistic experience.

    Shame I missed this. BBC content is usually very welcome for most expats, but the Beeb always render such programmes unviewable overseas, citing stuff like copyright. What they really mean to say is that we no longer pay for a UK TV licence. Oh well, it may eventually turn up on Youtube, by stealth. That’s exactly what happened when Chris admitted being on the spectrum a few years back. 😉

      I believe it’s possible to use a VPN to view iPlayer content
