Inside Our Minds — Season 1

Since sharing his own autism diagnosis with the world, naturalist and presenter Chris Packham has been flooded with letters and emails from other autistic people, frustrated that the people in their lives, their friends, families and co-workers, don't understand them. And in this series, Chris wants to bridge the gap.By teaming up with top filmmakers, graphic designers, animators and musicians, Chris will help a group of autistic people create short films to reveal to their family and friends how they're truly feeling inside – what's really going on in their autistic minds.He helps an autistic comedian reveal to her mum what's really going on inside her head, gives a non-speaking autistic man the chance to take his message to the world, and visits the only state school in the country exclusively for autistic girls.

Chris meets Anton, a teaching assistant and trance DJ with a deep love of Middlesbrough FC, and Ethan, a 19-year-old student and aspiring rapper from Essex. He helps them make films to reveal to their friends and classmates how Anton feels about change and Ethan about hypersensitivity to noise.Chris also meets Dr Luke Beardon, an expert in autistic hypersensitivity, and Dr Punit Shah, who helps him to understand both Anton's restrictive and repetitive behaviours and Chris's own need for order in his life.
