That video was really beautiful!

I really like watching the relationship between the ASD guy and his girlfriend. It was really beautiful. I loved how when they got things mixed up at the store, how he was all calm and sensible and just fixed things. I think we can be like that sometimes; I feel myself that one of my best traits is this ability to remain calm in a difficult situation and talk people into seeing things in a larger perspective - it often helps people to manage their emotions when they are too stuck in the 'now' and just reacting.

This kind of video is really great, I like that they manage to avoid being condescending, and instead give him space to talk about his life.
