| I enjoyed the film very much, Alex. Great job. I was especially interested in the Mohawk man and what he had to say about autism being an automatic qualification for shamanism in the American Indian community. Sorry, I didn't catch his name though. And of course, I always love to see and hear Temple. Also wanted to say that the quality of the film and the sound was super good and the content was really informative. It makes me want to give the link to my family and friends and say, "Here, watch this." The film is an excellent vehicle for prying open the eyes and ears of people who just don't "get it." |

Superb video  . It's nice to hear from those who actually have Autism/Asperger's and KNOW what there talking about, instead of hearing it from people who see autism as a incurable disease. |

I liked it.
And I really like temple grandin, I saw a documentary on reading emotions in psychology once and she compared socialising to a manual sliding glass door, you have to open slowly and steadily but it if you just pull it open too fast it will break. I agreed with that.

It's good to see a film about autism that gives a balanced view,not biased for or against it but simply giving an accurate reflection of it.
Congratulations to Alex and everyone involved,very informative and well made.

| Very informative. Alex, it breaks my heart how your teacher and principal treated you. You should really send this film to them personally. I am amazed what "educators" do with their power over innocent children. It is shameful. |

Thanks for making the documentary. (And btw, a big thank you for Wrong Planet!) I was impressed with the cinematography. I used to live inside the beltway. I think I recognized Georgetown. It was interesting seeing the "man on the street" interviews to get a sampling of public awareness and viewpoints.

I love this documentary, Alex. An NT friend of mine asked me what autism is. I showed him this video. He seemed to get a good idea of what autism is after that.
Well done, Alex. I hope you make a career out of this. |

Damn I still got it, i still can diagnose with little info
My theory that our type of autism is ALWAYS inherited from one of the parents remains unchallenged. |
I honestly could not tell; the guy just looked like a very understanding, accepting but hard-working man to me; I would've never guessed for the slightest minute Alex's dad is Autistic. |
