Transport and Autism Links

Today I was interviewed by BBC Radio Northampton about the experiences of people with autism on public transport. I noted that the National Autistic Society had two film clips on the subject. I will list the links below - and I will add the iplayer link to the interview when it is up and running. It was at the very end of Helen Blaby's lunchtime show today. It is 1 hour and 51 minutes into the show...the iplayer link will work for the next 6 days: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01fs71d

The National Autistic Society has produced two short clips showing what it may feel like to have autism and use public transport. Here are the clips, which are available on youtube:
