I have a young adult friend who deals with Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of Autism. Watching this video is like watching him as he “winds down.” Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been learning more and more about Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. It’s very interesting. Your short film intrigues me to want to learn more. I recently read a book written by a young woman who is autistic. She describes what life is like from the inside of an autistic child/young woman. The most startling thing for me was to learn that she is highly intelligent and understands more in life than she is understood. She explained what her “ticks” did for her and how they were interpreted by the outside world. Man..people can be so way off base when we get wrapped up in labling and judging others.
