The pupils of Limpsfield Grange have created this incredibly moving video in order to raise awareness of girls with autism.

The school in Surrey, England is the only such educational establishment for autistic girls in the entire country, and the message their students have decided to send might change the way you view them, and others living with the condition, forever.

For more information on girls with autism, visit the National Autistic Society.

Video.

If I didn't know these were girls on the spectrum and didn't hear what they were talking about, I would have just thought they were NT girls. Goes to show people on the spectrum DON'T have physical differences.

I agree with Joe. It was a great video though.

I really like one of the girl's haircuts. The one who wants to work at Pixar. I'd probably want to do that too.

Man, I wish I could have gone there (or at least gotten diagnosed before I was closer to mother age than school age).

I don't like how they were all calling themselves weird and strange and odd, though... :hmph:

I agree with Joe completely, there is no way I could tell any of them were on the spectrum. If they didn't mention autism, but made the same video about something else I'd never pick it.

They also say everyone is different. That makes everyone weird, strange and odd! :wink:
