Well, I did enjoy the visuals. I watched it again with the sound off. I've had more than my share of "experts" and "authorities" tell me me how I really feel all my life.

He tries and succeeds (in my opinion) to give a more + and accurate (!) perspective on Autism to the general population , and I think he is doing that in a very noble way.
I also have had my share of specialists (mostly - some +) But I can't stop recommending his books / interviews to psychiatrist (who shamefully sometimes never had even heard the name before) /parents/family/close friends , he has the ability to translate what I would like to say ..

Also where does he tell you how you feel? (of course this is a very general/short interview and we are all very different..)

He doesn't tell me how to feel but he keeps speaking on behalf of me in saying this is how AS people respond. Thus, he is telling others how I would feel and interact.

It's certainly a good positive way to portray aspergers. We need more of this.

Yes! Indeed we need more of this and fast. Accurate information (preferably a little more elaborate) for the 'interested' masses.

Atwood's last quote sums up what I have said since I discovered the term applied to me.

i've seen interviews with this guy, a little fidgety but comes off as completely normal. i wonder what the story is behind his diagnosis.
