Ex-E.T. <- (click here)

A French video which might cover how many of us feel.

The rest of the planet does fits a particular mode. They have tried drugging us to make us conform, but it is only of limited use. Finally they get rid of us.

Thanks, it was a good video.

I am not quite sure if I understand it fully, but it looked like a NT child was being ejected from a non NT planet at the end. Many of the people on the planet seemed to be more interested in order than most NTs on earth. It looked like it might be the case that most of the action was on the OCD planet, or did I get it all very wrong.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Yes, I was somewhat wondering about the "direction" in which I was supposed to interpret these beings as well. On the one hand, the entire planet might have been autistic - very focused on the one routine and upset when this odd child messed up the routine and the system.

On the other hand, when we first encounter the odd child, it would appear that he is "stimming".

If we approach the video as a theory of life, and say that autism was the norm on that planet and they sent all the non-autistics to earth, then the autistics here are a throwback to the mother-planet. That too is an interesting concept. We are the ones who are approaching the "normal" even though there are more NT's around than us.

What do you think of the way the autism planet tried to change the NT child, it does not seem as bad as things such as chelation. I still think that the 'autism' planet has people who have plain and simple OCD rather than autism or aspergers.

Truly brilliant, brilliant video!

Look forward to see what the geniuses who produced this come up with next.

It appears to be a video effects school in France. The video was a team project of several of the students. There is a "behind the scenes" video at:

Showing how the characters were "built" on the computer, and things like that.

A very cute movie, but I don't think it is as bad as you put it. I have been an Aspie from before the time the condition was identified and named. While I did run into "fitting in" problems along the way, no one ever tried to get rid of me. It think the reaction of the Conformists to the Oddball were a tad exaggerated.
