Nice job. Good educational advert. Amiable. Fun. Quirky. Serious.

Good luck with getting it watched as much as possible.

Great video :D I couldn't help noticing the dvd's, you and my husband would probably get on, he has a little obsession with dvd's and film memorabilia (I buy them alot too but I'm nowhere near as obsessed as he is). We have around 2000 dvd's...maybe more I don't know I've never counted them and we don't have enough wall space for all the posters. Our bedroom is filled with big boxes of memorabilia and it's one of the main reasons we need a bigger house, we just don't have enough space for all of it.

I dont like the way you always sell for big pharma, and promote commercial interests over people, so I stopped watching it after 90 seconds

Its always like an infomercial advertisement from autism speaks.....

I had to stop watching after a minute, because the vocal was out of sync with the video and it was messing with my head. I'm pretty sure it's a problem my computer and not the production of the vid, though.

I found the bit about "wearing the same thing all the time to be poignant. I've been wearing the same jacket for 22 years, with part of a coat attached to it that I've been wearing for 18 years and a hood that I've been wearing for 15 years. Pretty much the same thing every day, unless I need to dress fancy for a job.

I've been fighting big pharma (Shire in particular) every day for the last month. Check out this thread on the ADHD forum...

I HATE big pharma right now. However, that doesn't change the fact that medication has saved my life. If you don't need it, by all means don't take it. With all the shortages going around the last thing I need is someone buying up my meds who doesn't need them.

Nice video, well done.

Would it be fair to say that you are more of an extrovert Aspie?

I had problems with the audio too, it sounds very tinny (is that even a word?) to me and made me feel a little ill but I persevered.

Also Tambourine man one thing I found odd was the conversation which was supposed to be with a stranger, is that how you would interact with a real stranger? or were you able to talk so easily because of your already close relationship? I find I talk like that with family, my husband often points out that I'm changing subject too rapidly or talking too fast or not talking in context (usually because my brain is either 3 steps ahead or behind the conversation). Wheras with actual strangers I would be very awkward/nervous and would be very much one word answers / get out of there as fast as possible.
