Thanks for naming the documentary!

It's not just you that's more Autistic than Aspergers and I don't like the way they're portrayed it makes us seem violent. _________________ I am 18yrs old and have 3 younger brothers.
There are 4 aspies in our family, dad, me and my
two little brothers 13, 5.

I didn't really care for it, either. It made us seem explosive. _________________ Sid The Rat is everything that I stand for. We're both large, proud Punkers with Cockney accents.

Aggression is extremely common amongst people with Asperger's syndrome; I'd say it's more prevalent in those with AS than AD as those with AS look more "normal", and more is expected of them, socially and academically.
This pressure, plus the difficulty in defining one's own emotions (not to mention the social isolation and rejection that AS can induce), leads to frustration and anger.
Just FYI and all, I reckon Liam has autistic disorder, note how he's staring at the lighting, and he's quite passive to his friend's approaches. But, that's just me assuming.
Many of the people in the playground have autistic disorder, the young boy who imitates Ali's boxing moves for example; the individuals swaying, etcetera. The boy who likes Star Wars is stereotypically AS; I liked how he spoke to C3PO ("one-sided").
ive just found part one were they clearly say "we all have something called autism" not aspergers
so i was right that i did find it not really aspergery.. :S

That school only ever speaks of 'autism'. I looked Spa School Britain up and they have AS students that they call 'autistic'.
Many aspies here say they have 'autism' too.
That really is AS.
I'm AS, I'm like that and worse.
I don't understand why anyone would think this is not how Asperger's Syndrome can look like. _________________ The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. Terry Pratchett
The documentary states that the dude as shown on the still image has AS (the one who likes Star Wars). Asperger's is the type of autism he has.
yeah im still watching the whole thing now. I take back what I said but the guy who orgnises the videos is autistic and so is the black girl but there not that strange once u see the whole program and get to know how they think. Its actually really different and i understand this better watching the whole documentary as a pose to the 1st 3 minute clip i posted up originally, just shows you how weird it seems when u see a little bit of autism or aspergers . _________________ I'm fed up of explaining after every post, I have dyslexia so sometimes my spelling and punctuation is off.
