Autistic Spectrum and Radio 4

[growingvegetables]

Two brilliant pieces of programming on Radio 4 this week ...

• Michael Rosen on Word of Mouth - made me laugh !
• and POTW just now - also made me smile . Especially with the follow-up on CBeebies Pablo.

Dunno - maybe that's just me fascinated, and loving the creativity.

And sad that in all my years' teaching, I've learned a damned sight more from some of the kids I've taught than from any so-called training course.

Couple of months ago the 'book at bedtime' was by a profoundly autistic Japanese kid. Inspiring and heartbreaking. look it up.

[QUOTE 4989766, member: 45"]If you're interested in this, read My Son's Not Rainman. It's written by John Williams, a stand-up comic, about his relationship with his autistic son. It's hilarious, heart breaking and incredibly informative. His show of the same name is even better.[/QUOTE]
Summat to follow up ... thank you

My son is on the spectrum (Aspergers), so will give both books mentioned a look.
