My surprise of the week. What a lovely, uplifting programme. An audience of autistic people put questions to actor Michael Sheen. He interacts beautifully with them.

As someone without a disability in that area (I do have a disability but not one relevant to the programme), I found it hard to watch.
While it was only 30 mins, I'd agree that the interaction worked well and that can only be credited to him.
But I suspect that is in the inbuilt prejudice most of probably have about those asking the questions.
And as was said in the early stages, one of them had a fantastic voice!
