I liked it. :)
And I really like temple grandin, I saw a documentary on reading emotions in psychology once and she compared socialising to a manual sliding glass door, you have to open slowly and steadily but it if you just pull it open too fast it will break. I agreed with that.

It's good to see a film about autism that gives a balanced view,not biased for or against it but simply giving an accurate reflection of it.
Congratulations to Alex and everyone involved,very informative and well made.

Very informative. Alex, it breaks my heart how your teacher and principal treated you. You should really send this film to them personally. I am amazed what "educators" do with their power over innocent children. It is shameful.

Thanks for making the documentary. (And btw, a big thank you for Wrong Planet!) I was impressed with the cinematography. I used to live inside the beltway. I think I recognized Georgetown. It was interesting seeing the "man on the street" interviews to get a sampling of public awareness and viewpoints.

I love this documentary, Alex. An NT friend of mine asked me what autism is. I showed him this video. He seemed to get a good idea of what autism is after that.

Well done, Alex. I hope you make a career out of this.

Awww Alex, your dad is autistic! I started to wonder when i saw the position of his fingers when he first came up, then i saw the posture of his right arm and i noticed his silence and then i was sure.

Damn I still got it, i still can diagnose with little info :)

My theory that our type of autism is ALWAYS inherited from one of the parents remains unchallenged.


I honestly could not tell; the guy just looked like a very understanding, accepting but hard-working man to me; I would've never guessed for the slightest minute Alex's dad is Autistic.

Great job on the video, Alex! It's bookmarked, Facebooked and emailed to some of my contacts. Your video gave me the idea to use my webcam to make a Youtube video about my autism and how it affects my life.

I loved those kids at the end; I laughed when I watched them, cause they reminded me of me at that age.

I always did that.

I remember my grandma and mom even telling me "stop shaking your hands; ya look like a sissy".

Heh, if they only knew...

Well, my mother passed away nearly 7 years ago now, and my grandmother is in her mid-late '80s, and is going senile now. I talk to her on very rare occasions....and not because I don't want to, but because my time barely permits me to.
