I'll definitely be watching this. Louis says in TV Choice magazine, "Normally, I make programmes about people who are in some way questionable or weird or controversial. These aren't really like that. They're in a different key. The autism programme is very much about motherhood. How do mums cope with this huge challenge? The last thing we wanted was for this to be a woe-is-them, pity the poor parent kind of programme."

Just finished watching it (I had paused it while I got some food). It was good. Nice to see it didn't just go on about 'fashionable' autism too, with nothing but maths whizzes etc.
