What was a recent documentary film on a girl with ASD?

My mother said it was amazing, followed a girl over a few years who was looked after by carers. Does anyone know what it was called and if it may still be available on Iplayer or the equivalent?

It's called "Temple Grandin" and was recently shown on one of Sky TVs channels; think it was Sky Atlantic. Should be still on their website somewhere (a google search would produce some footage as would youtube).

Thanks Attila. I saw and really enjoyed the Temple Grandin film. The one my mother mentioned was a documentary following a teenager who they had followed since she was young. Would love to know what it is called

Hello! I have been following "Autism Speaks" on Facebook and they posted this a couple of days ago:

"We are excited for the DVD release of Fly Away, the powerful story of a mother grappling with the needs of her autistic teenage daughter. A portion of proceeds go to support. Preorder now on Amazon or add to your Netflix queue!"

Could this be it? It's an American site so I might be barking up the wrong tree!

No, it was definitely a documentary following a girl in the UK. She had been followed by the documentary makers for quite a few years
