The A Word è una serie televisiva della BBC, creata da Keren Margherita e basata sulla serie israeliana Yellow Peppers. In Italia è disponibile a partire dal 9 novembre 2022 sulla piattaforma Disney+

La trama

Joe Hughes, cinque anni, mostra chiari segni di problemi di comunicazione e si isola costantemente ascoltando musica pop attraverso grandi cuffie blu e nere. Ha una conoscenza enciclopedica delle canzoni che ascolta e canta accuratamente insieme ai testi. I suoi genitori, Alison e Paul, sembrano ignari del disturbo e si chiedono perché Joe sia ostracizzato da altri bambini della stessa età. Tuttavia, in seguito viene scoperto dal nonno di Joe, Maurice, che Alison e Paul lo hanno portato in ospedale per i suoi problemi di comunicazione. Altri membri della famiglia sanno che c’è un problema, tuttavia, i loro tentativi di intervenire incontrano l’ostruzione dei genitori di Joe. Dopo aver inizialmente creduto che Joe avesse problemi di udito, orecchie, naso e gola un consulente indirizza Joe a uno specialista che lo diagnostica come autistico.
