5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Actor Saskia Lupin has been speaking to families affected by autism, as part of a special report for BBC Radio 5 live. Saskia, who has autism herself, wanted to find out how other people cope with unexpected change. She spoke to 12-year-old Alex, who said he can sometimes break down if things don't go his way - for example if something is out of stock in a shop. This clip is from BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast on 28 March 2018.
