Has Anyone Watched The A Word?

[Bobbisox1]

My daughter says it’s a good watch,I’ve just signed up to BBC iplayer

[Mamyalynne]

Never missed it since the start, you'll love it.

[Bobbisox1]

Arh thank you Mamya

I did wonder at first whether it would be too like watching our own families journey through autism but it's so much more than that.

[Bobbisox1]

I have it ready to watch , must be very difficult yet sometimes rewarding to deal with autism ?

[Mamyalynne]

It can be hell on earth at times but those days are behind us, we are glad they came into our family.

More difficulty than reward, if this series is anything to go by. Excellent performances all round. When you say you have it ready to watch, I hope you mean series one, episode one?

Max Vento, who plays Joe, is an incredible little actor. The whole cast are good but he steals the show.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes Ken, my daughter says to start there , I know very little about autism ,although pleased it’s now recognised

[Vagus]

It’s an excellent series, I’m very sorry to see tonight’s episode is the last in this series, it’s all gone far too quickly.
He is a great little actor isn’t he? I’d love to see him being interviewed or in something else, just so we can see him as himself.

Goes even quicker when you binge-watch, Vagus :-)

I love this programme I have autism myself

[MargoTester]

It's well worth watching, some excellent acting

[Bobbisox1]

Well it has the thumbs up Music so I’ll definitely watch it

[Vagus]

Just been on YouTube and watched him on the one show a year or so ago. It’s amazing the difference a smile makes, he never smiled on the A word because of the character, but it transforms him.
He does amazingly well in the part for such a youngster.
Try not to binge watch stuff, far too easy to isn’t it? Doesn’t leave much to look forward to.. ;)

[Tilly2]

Here you go, Vagus.

[Bobbisox1]

Musictv, please take best answer for your openness

[Tilly2]

Aww! Too late. :-)

[Vagus]

Thank you anyway Tilly :)

Interestingly, the springboard for this series was an Israeli programme.
