Excellent TV

[mercury]

There have been some excellent TV Dramas this Winter and I have enjoyed them all but in my opinion The real life story of Brett in The Employable Me TV documentary was outstanding.. I really felt for the others and God knows how they and their families cope but this young man will stand out in my memory for a long time. It brought us to tears and then cheers of joy at the end.. I don't usually watch these types of documentaries because quite frankly I can't stand the mentally disabled in our society get the wee taken out of them.. This was however in a  a league of it's own... I would recommend that you watch it....

Which channel was it on Mercury

  My wife watched it and said how good it was.

It was fabulous Anne, I totally agree with you.
It's such a shame that society views people like Brett as unemployable when clearly his brain works better and faster than most of us on certain things.
It's about looking past the lack of communication and social skills and finding the right job for people who have autism.
I have watched many programmes about this and most of them have left me wondering why more is not done to utilise the brilliant and creative minds many autistic people have.
There is nothing better than being part of something, a feeling of belonging and most importantly the ability to 'be a normal person'

i thought that this was going to be a 'predictable' piece on the Night Manager series which finished yesterday, but no something rather different.  So I'll get the search function in full use on the M8 tonight and watch this.
