Found the whole thing but not sure if it works outside the UK:

Yep, UK only.

I've tried to watch Top Gear on there, very disappointing it's UK only. The best I can get is 10 minute youtube clips.

There's a continuation program to this called 'The Autistic Me - One Year On'.  Watching it now.  The one with the gf just got her age wrong on her birthday card  :lol:

For people in the UK here's the link to iPlayer:

It was OK - I got the impression that Alex at least had Munchausen's by proxy, looking at his mother....

Yeah I didn't like his mother much either.  She seemed really selfish.

The Valentine's Day dinner at the end was the most excruciatingly awkward thing I've ever seen

I've always dreaded the thought of being in a relationship around that time and being expected to react enthusiastically to cheesy, gimmicky, stereotypical "romantic" behavior.

It wasn't that.  It just looked like they weren't very comfortable with each other and had not much to say.  Not to mention the fumbled kiss.  I was cringing throughout the entire thing

If I ever go on a date, it will probably be cringe-worthy like that too!

I wouldn't want to imagine the sex....

Education TV shows on Aspergers is a double edge.
It educates the people but than stupid disease-wanting-emo-whores watch it and than think they have it.
Also Disease-whore-parents who want o have an excuse for their bratty kids.

Than all the wind-song-bleeding-hearts call aspies "indigo children" than before you know it everyone wants to have Aspergers and than the people who actually have it get all self-righteous and compare their under achieving pokemon-obsessed lives to the genius of Einstein

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's annoying
