Anyone got a copy of this that they can upload to YouTube?

I haven't seen this in years. It's about adults with Asperger's Syndrome. One of the scenes I remember in it is this bloke going to a café and ordering two sausages - every single time - and they must each be exactly the same length.

Any sensible replies are much appreciated.

I'd also like to see it. I don't have a copy of it, either.

Sounds like a smart choice. :)

I do the same thing, though only with the same meal each time; I don't seem to care about the physical dimensions and/or arrangement like others.

It appears that the video is blocked in the United States on the Official Website; it may be impossible, then, for somebody to upload it to Youtube without the copyright sensors banning it, as blockage usually has to do with copyright.

I can't recall having seen that one but surely in 1995 Asperger's hadn't even become a standard diagnosis in the UK?

It hadn't become standard but I had been diagnosed with it as early as 1991-1992.

Apparently the University of Brighton has a copy.

They won't let you watch it the U.K. either :/. It says "video not found or access denied".
