Is this what turned Packham into a climate fruitcake?

I’m surprised that 🔔🔚 packham didn’t mention/ blame it on climate change

Is this his excuse for the things he's been saying recently. 😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve read the symptoms, both my wife and I have numerous Aspergers symptoms. 😳

Autism is just a label

2017, age 13 My son was taken into care because I believe he is Autistic. I was diagnosed in my 40s. Son is now 20, still presenting and knows he is ASC, now petrified of system. Thank you for highlighting impact to mental health when needs are not met Kelly & @ChrisGPackham

I was 50 when diagnosed with ASD and ADHD. When I was 8 I was sent away to boarding school for problem children where I was horribly abused. We are still waiting for my daughter who's 10 to be diagnosed for 3 years now

My son got diagnosed at 4 years old and it has made the world of difference. He was non verbal and now is the brightest boy ever. He still suffers bullying and segregation because he is different but he is the E most amazing enthusiastic positive boy you will ever meet ❤️
