In the first of the series, Hardeep Singh Kohli travels to Newport, South Wales, to meet Joe Powell. Joe has been on an extraordinary journey. Growing up during a time when his condition, Asperger's Syndrome, was not medically recognised or specifically provided for in the care system; he became non-verbal for ten years, speaking only in whispers for the most part or not at all. But today Joe has a voice and he uses it in the most remarkable way. As Hardeep cooks up Welsh Rarebit and roast chicken for Joe and his close friend Bernard, Joe talks about life with Asperger's in a rare and insightful way.
