Watch it and tell me what you think.

not bad.

A lot of it is highly generalized, but it's by no means bad.

Liking the momentum

A little bit of spelling correction and you have it made.

It's smooth and general. Perfect for people who don't want to focus on something for long periods of time but want to feel like they understand something (this comprises a lot of neurotypicals).

Great job!! !!

It was a good video and you did a nice job.

I'd leave the text up a little longer for those larger blocks of text. Not everyone can read that fast.

You might want to include something about everyone being affected to a different degree, lest someone take that video as a checklist and use it to deny another's condition.

Spelling errors:

benefit at 1:20.
Different at 2:03

Pretty good, though.

No offence meant, but there is a problem with the statement about ''very high IQ''. You wrote ''lots of times people with Aspergers have a very high IQ''. It is an overstatement and have no scientific basis as I know. This may also create unfounded expectations. I think you can revise it by writing ''people with AS can have a very high IQ''. Other than that (and the spelling errors mentioned in other posts), nice video.

I like the music and it seems appropriate for the video, too. The text is mostly pretty good as well. I don't know if you wrote it yourself or borrowed it from elsewhere, but if you wrote it - well done. However, the statement about 1 in 88 having autism is not correct. I know you're probably just repeating misinformation you've heard elsewhere, but it's still not helpful to spread it. No offence intended. As you say @1:22, aspies say what's on their minds. By the way, the text on that screen could use a couple of apostrophes, too. Also, the background colours are just a bit too much - especially the reds. Something more subtle might be easier to look at and not distract so much from the text.

I like it.

I really like the text that explains what aspergers is and what comes with it, concise and to the point. Exept when it gets to "very high IQ". I would keep that part much more modest, because otherwise people have more reason to say "you are just trying to be special".

Slide at 0:21, the first one with longer text, goes away too fast, I couldn't read it without pausing and rewinding. Probably then I adapted to quicker reading, later ones were not a problem.

I would like to share it to the few people I can make victims of information on the facebook but I will wait a little in case you make improved version.
