AdamJ Report post Posted November 11, 2011 CBBC are showing a Newsround Special documentary at 4.45pm today about Rosie who is 11 and is AS, and her brother who is 9 and is ASD. They've just interviewed Rosie on BBC Breakfast about it. She narrates the documentary herself. I think the idea is to introduce children generally to AS/ASD and give them a better understanding, which I think is very laudable and progressive of the BBC. (I think I got the broadcast time right but do check it as I might have misheard). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamJ Report post Posted November 11, 2011 I've checked the listings and it's on CBBC only, from 4.40pm to 5.00pm. It's a Newsround Special, NOT to be confused with the normal Newsround on BBC1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greasemonkey Report post Posted December 1, 2011 New link (old one stopped working): http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/15655232 That think she said about thinking inanimate objects have a personality makes me feel better, when I was younger (much less prominanly now, almost non-existant) I thought objects had personalities. I didn't know it had anything to do with Aspergers, I thought I was just crazy! (I am just crazy ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerland Report post Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) If you can't get it on the BBC any more, it is on YouTube in its entirety - just google it. A good programme and sensitively done, I think. Oops, just realised it is still on the BBC too, sorry! Edited December 1, 2011 by Fledermaus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
