Does anyone know if TV shows mind having people with autism on?

Were you thinking of a particular show?

No just shows in general

I'd hope that in 2021 most TV shows will be accommodating.

How come on the chase they are spreaded out

That's because of covid and 2metre rule

Janer1967 you was supportive of me going on tv why you changed you’re mind now

@lewissayner

Why am I not being supportive all I did was answer your question about why they were seperared out 

I wont comment anymore

I think @janer1967 was just answering your question on why people on The Chase would be staying socially distanced at the moment @lewissayner, not suggesting that you shouldn't go on TV  

Are you a big fan of The Chase? I enjoy the show. Who is your favourite chaser?

If you have a look on the BBC website, there's currently 3 series of "The A Word" available to watch, all about an Autistic lad called Joe, and it also stars Chris Ecclestone, who played the 9th Doctor Who, and the third series also starred Julie Hesmondhalgh, who's best known for playing Hayley Cropper in Coronation St up to 3 or 4 years back.

Also, as regards The Chase, it was announced last year on I'm a Celebrity that Chaser Anne Hegarty, aka The Governess, has Asperger's.

And an old friend of ours once told us that the character Roy Cropper in Coronation St is based on an Autistic person.
