Are You Autistic?
10pm, Channel 4

Because of a “diagnosis crisis”, members of a “lost generation” are going through life without knowing they’re autistic. This documentary seeks to increase understanding of a neurological condition that research suggests may be far more commonplace than previously supposed. As well as exploring how autistic people see the world, the doc follows JP, 38, and Jo, 35, as they are belatedly assessed to see if they are autistic. Campaigners Georgia Harper and Sam Ahern, both autistic, and “neurotypical” Anna Richardson present. Jonathan Wright

The Secret Helpers
8pm, BBC Two

More Brits accept crowdsourced help from strangers. Tonight it’s David, who is attempting to stop his family growing apart, and Claire, whose stammer threatens to derail a presentation. Earpiece assistance comes from NYC cops, a Norwegian former model and traditional South African healers. Mark Gibbings-Jones

The Assassination of Gianni Versace
9pm, BBC Two

Episode five of the voyeuristic but compelling fact-based drama, and there is finally some screen time for Gianni himself (Edgar Ramírez), who is coming out to the press against Donatella’s wishes. Meanwhile, another of Cunanan’s victims is trying to keep his sexuality under wraps. Hannah J Davies

Make! Craft Britain

This week’s workshops are jewellery-making with new material silver clay, and needlework at Hampton Court Palace, led by self-proclaimed “manbroiderer” Jamie Chalmers. Also, Sam Tsang, the in-house origamist (every show should have one), demonstrates how to make a snazzy snack box. Ellen E Jones

Social Housing, Social Cleansing
10pm, Channel 5

A damning film about that most scandalous of subjects: the social cleansing of working-class areas. It features harrowing personal testimonies from those fighting to save their homes from demolition in neglected and regenerated council estates, from London to Glasgow. Ali Catterall

Wuthering Heights (William Wyler, 1939), 1pm, BBC Two

A wild romance concocted from Emily Brontë’s novel. Having finally stopped sulking over not getting Vivien Leigh as co-star, Laurence Olivier makes a tormented but heroic Heathcliff, and Merle Oberon is a touching Cathy. The real star is Gregg Toland, who won an Oscar for his photography. Paul Howlett
