Lee Ingleby: I hope A Word helps understanding of autism

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Actor Lee Ingleby, who plays the father of a boy diagnosed with autism in 麻豆社 drama The A Word, says he is pleased at the "response" to the programme. Ingleby told Sarah Brett: "We always knew it was a brilliant piece of writing鈥� If it just helps people understand it a little bit better then we have done our job". Max Vento, who is not on the autism spectrum, stars as young Joe in Peter Bowker's six part drama. Ingleby told Sarah although Max is only six years old he "was very professional, more professional than most of us... He got to establish who Joe was". This clip is from Afternoon Edition on Tuesday 29 March 2016.
