Yes, Our very own Alex, creator of Wrong Planet, has made a short documentary that was posted on his YouTube page theWrongPlanet. Anyway, here's the vid:-

So let's show our support for Alex and watch his vid. I watched it and I was really touched by what he said. I seriously think you guys should watch it too.

Good video. I see he even got Temple Grandin to agree to have an interview.

A great rebuttal to Autism Speaks without mentioning them. I sincerely hope it will go viral.

Mods, make it a sticky (oh I see it is above the banner!!).

I watched it, that is quality work there!

Great vid, Alex. This oughta counteract those stupid @#$%s at you-know-where.

I empathized a bit when your folks were talking about your primary school principal. I had a teacher like that in the seventh grade. I really don't ever want to see her again, more for her sake than mine, since even if it's a chance meeting someone is going to end up hurt or worse. But at any rate, great job! I give this two thumbs up and five stars.

It is a good video, with excellent production. --Would have liked to see a longer version of it, though.

It is a "Vimeo" which is a real modem killer even with the high-speed broad-band that I have it splutters
and hangs up the computer....

Alex, this is wonderful. It covers so many key points of the "reality" in a short time and in a very humanizing way. I've been struggling with how to disclose to certain people who are close to me who I think will take it as a shock. Maybe this is the way. Thank you for this.

i've replaced the link to a link to youtube to take into consideration lower bandwidth users.

People, please spread this video in as many ways as you know (twitter, facebook, myspace, blog, etc) because i want it to be seen by everyone in the universe, e

Thanks for fixing the accessibility issue as Vimeo is not for everyone, especially when my computer needed a restart...

Your message and the message of the others in your video is the type of counter that we need to fend off
much of the trash that is spewed by Autism Speaks and their ilk....

That's a great video. I hope that the entire world sees it. We should have a thread where we each post an Autism Reality video. I have a webcam built into the top of my netbook. I wonder if I could use that to make a video.
