Aspergers Syndrome TV show

Maybe you could give a bit more information? Like what is this Aspergers show called? What time and channel does it air on? Also, this doesn't belong in the Serious Discussion forum.

*Admin Note: Thread moved to appropriate forum.
 
I saw a promo for this show on the Science Channel a little while ago. While it may be worth seeing (I think I spotted Temple Grandin and John Elder Robison in it), the promo has a certain "Lets all gawk at the weird people!" tone that makes me a little uncomfortable (did this show really have to be advertised as being "From the prodcers of Hoarders?"). You'd think that the people running the Science Channel would be a little more careful about that since a significant percentage of the Science Channel's audience is probably made up of people with AS! I'd really like to see more in the media about how surprisingly "normal" people with AS can be rather than more sensationalistic narratives about aspies all being "tortured geniuses trapped by their obsessions" or whatever, but I guess that's just not as "interesting."
