Panorama

I actually found it quite offensive. It seemed to make out that it was so easy to claim for Autism that I found myself having to switch it off and watch later in the evening. It just seemed like another attack on disabled people. As a parent to 2 adult children who are both autistic as well as other health conditions it makes me furious that they keep implying that Autism is a mental health condition when it actually isn’t. You can have mental health problems along side it but it’s a neuro developmental disorder that can’t be treated with medication and is also a spectrum disorder. Neither of my adult children could have interacted the way the participants did last night. Yet another programme seeking to demonise the disabled. I am actually afraid of what the future looks like for my 2 kids.

I didn't think they were actors.

If they are then that will probably soon be exposed.

I thought it hilighted the extra cost of living with a disability and that disability benefits are inadequate to cover those costs.

Oh ok i caught the part when she was explaining point scoring so last bit really oh thats good do you remember the one a couple of years ago that was terrible
