You'll probably need to sign up for an account to see this one:

Yeah, I had to sign up for an account, but they have a 14 day no tricks free trial!

I thought it was well done! It covered a lot and, if I knew what I knew now about myself, but NOTHING about autism or AS, and even if I still believed autistics were stupid, it would make me think I was autistic! Babys don't coo/babble, and aren't really interested in others. Children play alone, see things differently, follow routine, may have repetitive movements, and may be VERY smart in one area.(The one place I think they made a mistake, especially since AS people seem to usually be good in like 3, and I am). All that certainly applies to me. Two things they mentioned that were telling in my case!

1. It may NOT be obvious!
2. They are NOT stupid!

I'm using the latest version of IE. You miht want to upgrade. I ALSO told it toremember the password. I simply logged in, reclicked the link in the thread here, and clicked start movie.

So far, from what I can see, it might be a good site for kindergarten(?) to 8th grade subject topic overviews, and does have some stuff like about autism, but I don't know about it otherwise. I DO like the format though, especially for kids or a quick overview.
