Anyone watch "Lewis" last night?

What did you make of the ASD student??? I think they didn't do a bad job of it (but I'm prepared to be shot down if need be!!). Especially the way other people percieved him. It cant be easy portraying someone on the spectrum as (as we're all too aware) Joe Public only knows "Rainman" or one or 2 people. They'll say "Oh, that can't be right cos the person I know with ASD doesn't do it like that". I have to say the actor's portrayal was pretty close to how I imagine P will be when he grows up (except P will be MUCH louder!!)

 

Opinions please!!!!!!

i watched it and was quite impressed with myself because i thought 'he seems like he could be autistic' and then later on we found out he was The only thing i thought was typical was that he had a unique skill!!!!! I thought he came across ok although i had to record the last 30mins as i was so tired so i might of missed something

Well we were up late last night and saw some of this.(don't usually watch it)

Hayley commented on it. She said Mum, do you think he has Aspergers or Autism?

I thought it was ok.
