The accompanying video is just a little over three minutes long.
IMHO
The bad
Too much emphasis on the "savant" stereotype. I would think 1/3 of NT's are really good at something but if an autistic is really good at something it is a "special ability"
The good
The emphasis on using strengths and not focusing on deficits and Dr. Steven Shore's criticizing the IT stereotype.
