. @RoseUnwin You got me thinking while being walked by my dog this morning. What would a neurodiverse & learning disability version of In Touch look like? Definitely think it's a viable idea as there are quite a few neurodiverse journalists out there who could be part of it...
That and present it. Maybe though it would be less a Radio 4 programme than one on Radio 5 Live though neurodiversity isn't just "mature" people ,particularly if you bring dyslexia into it etc. Maybe also it could show the convergence as well as the clash between different...
stakeholders involved whether people on the spectrum ,parents, professionals etc. It could also explore who people are as well as what the conditions are and go into issues a little more in depth than charities can. That as well as mix things up between conditions, I mean...
It would be cool to see a mix of different conditions being discussed and showing where issues overlap and are specific to different conditions. In the end it might resemble a public service version of "Inside The Huddle" which wouldn't be a bad thing at all as long as it wasn't
too po-faced about the whole jungle! I mean you have to treat the field you operate in with respect but it'd be nice to show the fun side of the neurodiversity scene. Maybe throw in a bit of obscure sports like Sumo or some obscure J or K-Pop music in too! ;) Seriously though...
a neurodiverse/ learning disability version of In Touch wouldn't just be a valuable viable public service programme. It could also be a good fun show to broadcast given 1800 Seconds on Autism and before that See Hear. Any takers . @bbc5live . @BBCRadio4?
By the way I love Radio 4 despite forays on to Radio 5 and 5 extra + other channels but just trying to think beyond myself!
