I'm looking for videos for my website explaining autism spectrum disorders to others. I find people get intimidated by a lot of text, but videos seem to be less intimidating, for whatever reason, so I try to include a lot of them.

I'm looking for a general introductory video which neither is obviously in the pro cure or pro acceptance camp (no strong 'autism is a terrible thing' or neurodiversity undertones - I cover those later in the website, but I'm trying to start with something very neutral) where the video does more than just read off a list of 'what to look for' or the DSM. Bonus points if the material feels lighter or fun in any way and doesn't solely focus on children. Should not be longer than 15 minutes (preferably more towards 5 minutes). I have searched and I'm starting to doubt the existence of this resource, which is why I'm asking for help...

Also bonus if you know of good videos showing specific symptoms of autism (still following the same guidelines as the introductory video). :)
