The A Word

I wasn't sure that I would like this series but have to say I have found it most interesting. The lad who plays the part of Joe is excellent for someone so young. The basis of the story is how the immediate and wider family cope with Joe who is on the autistic spectrum. He is loved by everyone, perhaps loved a bit too much at times in the sense that it gets in the way rather than dealing with the situation in a rational way. Link to programme details here
