Summary
You might know George Lewis for his hilarious parenting sketches - the chaos, the tantrums, and our collective Bluey obsession... but lately he has been opening up about something much more personal.
George has three children - his eldest has an autism diagnosis, and his younger two are currently being assessed. We spoke about how his view of autism has completely changed, the exhausting fight parents face for diagnosis, and the damage caused by Donald Trump’s baseless claims about paracetamol and autism.

| 0:00.0 | Oh yeah, but surely if you could take autism away, then you would do. |
| 0:06.9 | And I was like, no, I absolutely wouldn't do that because I'm thinking about my situation |
| 0:11.5 | and the people I love who are autistic and I'm thinking, that's them, that's their personality. |
| 0:16.9 | Hello and welcome back to Should I Delete That? |
| 0:19.3 | I'm Alex Light and M. Clarkson is not here today. She is in the Isle of Man with her family. So I'm afraid you've just got me for this week, guys.

| 1:06.4 | autism. George opened up about this in an Instagram post which was so well received and was so |
| 1:12.7 | important for so many parents who have children with autism. He spoke so beautifully about how for him |
| 1:19.4 | and his family, autism isn't a negative thing, but spoke also really candidly about the difficulties |
| 1:25.7 | that he and other families face when trying to |
| 1:29.7 | fight for diagnoses for their children. |
| 1:31.9 | George is currently on tour. |
