One of my new favorite shows has an autistic host.

The name of the show is called: Britain by Narrowboat. The first season of the show is available on Amazon Prime streaming in the U.S.. However, if you don't have Amazon Prime, no worries, the two hosts have had a Youtube channel for a number of years called: Foxes Afloat. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkaFsF378jNuL2xmZMH9knQ

The premise of the show:

An autistic man with ADHD named Colin lives in Britain with his longtime partner/spouse Shaun. After years in the workforce, Colin develops Autistic Burnout. With the intent of helping Colin's mental health, they sell their home and buy a 57 foot long by 6 foot wide "narrowboat" (measurements I've given are not exact to the inch) and cruise the inland canals of Britain with their faithful dog. Colin narrates most of it. It's part travel show, part vlog, part adventure. Colin also talks about his autism struggles from time to time. He has meltdowns on occasion (not on camera) and shutdowns (on camera). He doesn't like going to the grocery store or loud sounds. I find the show soothing and interesting. I feel a kinship toward Colin since I'm autistic, have ADHD, have the same sensitivities and I'm around his age.

Colin and Shaun...you're awesome!

Here's an example of the Youtube channel shows:
