0:00:02 > 0:00:04He talks, laughs, looks you in the eye, smiles, how's he autistic?
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- I don't understand!- Right, no-one uses that word, not in this house.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08If we label him now, it's over.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- You're a genius, what are ya? - A genius.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14If you're hiking or cycling, the diner does the job, doesn't it?
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Why build a restaurant?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Bit of advice on your first day, do not let them Polish lads
0:00:17 > 0:00:19take advantage. I learnt that the hard way.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- I need a second opinion.- I won't do it because it's Michael...
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- Michael? - ..who I had an affair with.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Wouldn't be fair on Eddie.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27What wouldn't be fair on Eddie?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# The time was going so frequently
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# She said If I try harder again... #
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- HE SINGS ALONG - # ..She's flying in the face of fashion now
0:00:41 > 0:00:44# Sells the world annually to a friend
0:00:44 > 0:00:48# She's singing World shut your mouth
0:00:48 > 0:00:49# Shut your mouth
0:00:49 > 0:00:53# Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
0:00:53 > 0:00:55# World shut your mouth

0:01:30 > 0:01:36This programme contains some strong language.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Thank you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Joe. No, no, not today, sweetheart.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- I'll swing you round, if you like, Joe.- No, love.- Come on.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50He really doesn't need swinging round.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52If we do this every day, then we are reinforcing him
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- walking out on the road every morning.- I want Dad.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00All right?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03CAR APPROACHES
0:02:12 > 0:02:13What are you doing?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Saving a hundred quid a day in labour costs.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19If you're paying them a hundred quid a day, no wonder you're in trouble.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You're getting in the way of my guys.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I can dig an hole, Sally.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You always could, Paul. You always could.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Morning.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Joe, you might want to go in now. Go in now.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Morning.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Bye.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00CHILDREN CHATTER
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- TEACHER:- Nice and slowly...
0:03:09 > 0:03:10INAUDIBLE
0:03:10 > 0:03:11That's it, well done.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Mozart! Come on, then! Let's go.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17MUSIC ON COMPUTER: Accidents Will Happen by Elvis Costello
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hey. What you doing?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Having fun. I think that's allowed,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32don't you? Full day at school, eh?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Can you do something else for five minutes?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Just, just, take a break from the music.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Now?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42(Yeah.)
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Oh, right, um...
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Hey, look. Joe, look. Shall we do this?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Joe? Look, I've got a little zebra on the move here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Joe?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Look, I've got a monkey.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58HE IMITATES A MONKEY
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Hey, you might want to turn the music off, just... Take it away.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- There we go... - MUSIC STOPS
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10# Got a monkey... #
0:05:10 > 0:05:12HE IMITATES A MONKEY
0:05:12 > 0:05:14# ..How does a monkey sing?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15# We don't know
0:05:15 > 0:05:17# But it's doing like a monkey does!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19# Where does the monkey live? #
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Yey! That's it! Good lad!
0:05:26 > 0:05:27You're a great dad.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30You're a great mum.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Listen, will you take him out of school? It's for the best.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45What?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Look, come here. Come here. Come with me.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Back in a bit.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Have you seen him in the playground?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Have you seen any other kid talk to him?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's early days. The school know what they're doing, love.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Joe goes to school, he gets labelled, it's over.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- He's been labelled already by an expert in autism. - MUSIC STARTS AGAIN
0:06:07 > 0:06:09One expert! Just one! And she was all over the place!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And she's on Facebook every night!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's two, seeing as we're counting. And how do you know that?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Joe, turn that down! - Hey, hey, hey, don't shout at him.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'm not shouting at him. I'm raising my voice.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Don't get angry with me because you're upset.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, what if another expert tells you something that you don't want to hear?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Do we find another one and then another one?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28You got a better plan?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Yes, we do what normal people do. We talk to the school
0:06:31 > 0:06:34and we tell them about the diagnosis.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36You see, I am DOING something, Paul.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38You're talking about doing something...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42In case you hadn't noticed, Alison, I am building a restaurant!
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Really?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I was wondering what that pile of rubble by the diner was.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Joe! TURN THAT DOWN!
0:06:47 > 0:06:48MUSIC CONTINUES
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Home schooling? What?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'm not meaning to be offensive, but if Joe's damaged stock already,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04won't that make him even more of an oddball?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- That's you NOT meaning to be offensive?- Home schooling's not that unusual, Maurice.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Oh, in London, perhaps.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I've broken the day down into sections.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12There's a list of activities on the notice board.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15People just fill in when they think they can help and what they can offer.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Are you getting advice on this or just diving in...?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20We're going to get advice, expert advice, aren't we, Nicola?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24We'll take all the advice we can, as long as Alison agrees with it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You going to help with any sessions with Joe? Yes or no?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yeah, I could do some early mornings, late afternoons, sure.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Great. Nicola, I was going to put you down for more sessions than anyone else,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35mainly because of your expertise, but also because you're not
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- working at the moment.- I'm hoping that might change.- Really?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- No need to sound so surprised. - Glad to hear it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- The more you settle in, the more you'll be able to put the past behind you.- I already have, Maurice.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Now, perhaps you can put my past behind you too.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Is this kid going to have any spare time at all?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Not if I can help it, no.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57And then maybe after all this intensive input, he'll be able to go back to school and cope.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And then he can have a long and unhappy life like the rest of us.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The older he gets, the more distressing it is for him
0:08:05 > 0:08:07to be in a world that he doesn't understand.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10That's real distress, Paul. Real pain.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Our son.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Hiya. What's happening?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23We're putting together a rota for home schooling Joe.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26One, that's insane, and two, I'm going to miss my bus.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That doesn't get you off the hook with the Joe rota, young lady.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Is that what we're calling him now? Joe Rota. He's Joe.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36He's always been Joe. Why wouldn't we want him to be Joe?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41How exactly are you going to work if he's at home all day?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I'll give up work if I have to.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Oh, and what are you going to eat, wishful thinking on toast?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I haven't planned every detail yet.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- All I need to know at the moment is whether you're going to help me or not.- Even if I disagree with it?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Are you going to help me or not?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Why can't you be more like your mother?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Great.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25What do you think about that, then, eh, Joe?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Standing on top of the world.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34This time next year, we'll be running up here, you and me.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35No danger.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Can you see the diner? Joe? Your dad's new pub?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Just...just follow the river.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Does Dad know that Maya's still temping here?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Is that what you came here to ask me?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17No.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I want your blessing for me to send Joe's reports to Michael
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and for Michael to talk them through with Nicola.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Michael who?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26You know very well.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Oh. Nicola's ex-lover. That Michael.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Yeah. You said it yourself, we need an expert.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34He's a real expert.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36He's certainly that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Nicola won't speak to him unless you're OK with it. Do you mind?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Would it make any difference to you if I did?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44No. Not really.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Then, it isn't a question.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Don't make it difficult for me.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50No, I mean, a question requires an answer. There is no answer, so it's not really a question.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Christ, it must be hard being you sometimes!- Yes.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54It is.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00If you want Nicola to talk to Michael about Joe, then...do it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02But don't ask me to like it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15You should speak to Michael about Joe.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I mean, it's his specialist subject, so...
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Alison spoke to you?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Yeah. And, I mean, it's for Joe.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I was...I was thinking that, too.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Were you?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Yeah, Michael's teaching two days a week in Manchester at the moment.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36How do you know that?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I get e-mailed all the courses, the...the BMJ training courses.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Well. There you go. Perfect opportunity.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47You'd be all right with it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50I've said so, haven't I?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18ALARM BUZZES
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- VIDEO ON COMPUTER:- 'I think there are ways of engaging him, er,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37'even when he's locked into these self-soothing behaviours.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42'I think we need to maybe move towards him,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45'so that he can move towards us.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49'It might be a case of using the object he's fixated on...'
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- VIDEO:- '..his three-month check, his six-month check...'
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Is there any cereal left?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Er, only the stuff that's good for you, unfortunately.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25VIDEO CONTINUES
0:13:33 > 0:13:35We could borrow Tom's tent.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38A tent? Are you serious? A tent?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40If you want it as much as I do, then a tent'd be fine.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Oh, OK, yeah, you've convinced me(!) Let's borrow a tent,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45so we can screw on a clammy groundsheet with sheep outside.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47No need to make it sound so sordid.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50On the other hand, your tent blackmail line was class itself.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Piss off, Tom!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You let Nicola go and see Michael, just like that?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Are you insane?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00It's called trust. It's called being a grown-up.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's called being a soft touch. Don't you think it was a mistake?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05The only mistake I made was telling you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08She wanted you to stop her. Don't you see?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- What?- Do you think Michael's the only autism expert in the country?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- It was a test.- I'm not sure it's any of your business, Dad.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15No, you're right. It's not.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17But it's the lack of decisiveness I'm concerned about.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I see Maya's still here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Yes. She is.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Same problem again. Too nice.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26You were always the talented one but too nice.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27You think I'm the talented one?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Hello, Maya, you all right, darling? - Hello! Hello, lovely.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Listen Maya, love, I'm going to have to let you go, I'm afraid.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38What?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'm very sorry about that. OK?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35INTERCOM RINGS 'Hello?'
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Hello, er, Paul Hughes. I have an appointment.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46So what do the parents want me to say?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48That he doesn't have autism?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Mmm. But you know, don't you?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54These are good people who've done the assessments.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Maybe not the best communicators, but there we are.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00And you think so too, so...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03They just need a plan.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- How old is he? Five?- Mmm.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11There's a brilliant speech and language therapist
0:16:11 > 0:16:15here in Manchester I'm going to refer them to and the usual advice -
0:16:15 > 0:16:18they need to get all the help and support they can to keep him in the mainstream,
0:16:18 > 0:16:19especially in primary school.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21They're thinking of home educating.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Hmm. Really?
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Well, they'll need to be tough and organised and together,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32because whatever they choose to do, the parents need to act as a team.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33DT in there.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Oh, DT, right.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Oh. Right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40What does DT stand for?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Woodwork.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Right. Oh, well,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I...I could use some of your DT pupils at my building site.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47I don't think that'd be allowed.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Would you like to see the hall?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52It's where we have gathering, which is our word for assembly,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54and where we do PE, and Jason hangs off the bars
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and his mother has to be called in to get him down.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Oh, I'd like to see that very much, yeah.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Hmm. Yes. So would I.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11And this is the end of the tour of our excellent school.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have, yes?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Yeah. Yes, I did. Very much.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Good. So did I.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Do you like it here?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Of course. I love it here.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Did you ever go to a, a different school?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I did, but my mum said it wasn't suitable.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Oh, right. Did she ever say why not?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The other children called me things and my mum said it's
0:17:42 > 0:17:45because they were unhappy about themselves,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49but they seemed to be smiling a lot for people who were unhappy with themselves,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52so we thought it wasn't suitable, yes?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Yeah, right. That's right, yeah.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55And the teachers help me here.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Oh, did they not help you at your other school?

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Autism isn't Joe's biggest problem, Alison,

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Are you saying that because I fucked Michael that I've lost

0:37:42 > 0:37:46I don't think that this is the kind of help that he needs, OK?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I think there are other ways. There are other schools.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53A kid came into school today with a gun and blew half the class away.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10There are schools better suited to his needs. Special schools.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14A special school? Have you any idea what that would mean?

0:56:26 > 0:56:29but sometimes you are so full of shit. This is about Joe!
0:56:29 > 0:56:30It's not about me!
0:56:30 > 0:56:33Is it? Is it really?
0:56:33 > 0:56:35Do you know why I think you took him out of school?
0:56:35 > 0:56:39Because I love him and I don't want him to be a condition!
0:56:39 > 0:56:42Because you don't want anyone to know, because you are ashamed.
0:56:45 > 0:56:49You think I'm ashamed of my own son?
0:56:49 > 0:56:52Of Joe. Of yourself, for not spotting it sooner.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54Of us, for having him.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Of me and, finally, just to round things off...
0:56:59 > 0:57:02..you're ashamed for being ashamed in the first place.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05- Oh, right. Cos you're so fucking OK with it, aren't you?- NO, I'M NOT!
0:57:07 > 0:57:09Not one bit!
0:57:09 > 0:57:11And that's why I can see it in you.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21It's not much fun, is it?
0:57:24 > 0:57:26It's not what you want to be, is it?
0:57:33 > 0:57:35No, don't. If you want to sell it, sell it.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37Just don't go round telling yourself it's for Joe.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56The speech therapist arrives today.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Oh, my God, Margaret. How long's it been?
0:57:58 > 0:57:5916 years.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02It's lovely of you to drop in, but I've got a potential buyer coming...
0:58:02 > 0:58:04I know. It's me.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06I think he's overdue a camomile tea.
0:58:06 > 0:58:07Two-bag job by the look of it.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11I don't want to label him at such a young age. It's like he's failed before he's even begun.
0:58:11 > 0:58:12Yay!
0:58:12 > 0:58:14'What if I want to take care of Joe? His dad, my own son.'
0:58:14 > 0:58:17I'm going to put reserved notices on the front-row seats.
0:58:17 > 0:58:18Are you listening?
0:58:19 > 0:58:22'When I turned you down, the other day, perhaps I should re-consider.'
0:58:22 > 0:58:25Are you re-considering or saying you'd like to sleep with me?
0:58:25 > 0:58:29- Where are you going?- I'm not sure I can do any of this, it's beyond me. - Before you've even tried?
