My grandson is 8 and highly autistic . I absolutely love this programme as it gives me hope for the future. I have never seen autism played so well on TV . The episode where Shaun s dad was dying and he was real horrible to Shaun which resulted in his meltdown in the hotel room was acted brilliantly. I broke me heart as I see that very often . Well done Shaun keep it up . You give so many families of autistic children hope a real credit to watch .
