This may have been posted before but I just found it and thought it was worth posting (again?).

Interesting video I had not seen it before. Kind of hard for me to follow due to the British accents, but I got it. =)

Great video.

I thought it was great, I found it particularly interesting when Katherine was explaining socialising for Aspies as being with a group of people who have all been given a script and you are the only one who hasn't, I thought that was very articulate and well explained.

I can't see it. A vlc icon appears on the video screen and it won't play. Anybody knows why or how I can fix this?

I thought exactly the same thing.

I guess you could turn the vlc plugin off?

Try Chrome?

When he's talking about sensory sensitivity, the screen turns gray and starts flashing in a really awful way.

Urgh. Thanks for the warning. For those of us who can't view the video, (for the reason above) can someone please explain what's being said?

I like how the aspies in the movie are really self aware of themselves and seem to have made good progress, I guess an indicator that there is a good help program in place.

If you cant view the movie, try updating your: browser, flash player, java by downloading from their website. Also try right clicking on the video and disabling video acelleration in preferences and restarting the video a few times.

It's just a few seconds - when he mentions sensitivity, skip forward 10 sec. I just thought it was weird that it happened at that moment!

I turned the vlc plugin off. That worked. Thank you.

Yes, that was a nice little documentary. I liked how they talked with pauses or rambling or using their hands differently...etc.

Is it possible for someone to explain what's going on in the video, please? I am sight impaired, therefore, can't follow the video.

Great video. I didn't have problems with the British accent, but one of the people that was being interviewed was talking so fast, like I do sometimes, that I couldn't understand a lot of what she was saying. Even some NTs talk to fast and I have to asked them to slow down. Some live in my own city.

The video features several aspies and experts who present facts and myths about AS. They talk about what it's like having AS as well as some of the stereo types. The various people are interviewed one at a time and the video focus is on the individuals for the most part.
