This should be shown on US television with sponsors like Autism Speaks and the Autism Society of America. I have a mild form of autism, in which in serious formal public situations, this will be causing a scene nobody wants, esp. an autistic or adult with autism (a controversy on which is more appropriate self-name/term). +
i imagine thats a difficult thing to deal with, but honestly, if im in a cramped elevator alone with a stranger who i interpret to be leering at me sexually, my first and foremost thought is to protect myself, not consider his feelings. he might have autism or he might be sexual predator and be threatening my safety - im not gonna take any chances.
Oh, that is so TRUE to form. Poor guy - I used to date a high-functioning autistic, and he said sometimes things were so confusing because people wouldn't look at him when they were talking, and he couldn't understand what they were saying if he couldn't see their faces... and the name-badge thing, absolutely 100% right.
Oh she's such a dumshit! You don't have someone ask you a question and them go looking through papers as if he's not there! That would lead me to ask the question again! And I REALLY hate hearing endless babble. "Yes, right this way" would be enough. And if you don't want someone trying to look at your name tag, don't pin it to your fucking boobs! If a girl did that, would you call that girl a lesbian?
I probably have aspergers. Which is why I understand this.
I'm not sure this video is really about working out if someone is autistic just by looking at them.
It's fairly obvious that if the receptionist had been polite and professional, and taken the time to talk to him, he would have understood and would not have been fazed by her manner. It's true that many people would have understood her anyway, but it's good to realise that you CAN'T always tell who can just by looking.
I'm not sure which one has the disability here. Her social skills are terrible. She never made eye contact with him. She talked and rattled on without answering his questions. She then completely misread his intentions when he tried to read her name badge. If she did NOT have a disability , then she would have been / should have been sacked . If she has a disability then she should be redeployed into an area where she can use the skills that she has. You don't put a square peg in a round hole.
I have autism and must say this video made no sense and is inaccurate about High Functioning Autism, but it was funny at the end dah of course if you look at a womens chest that close up they will think that common sense I wouldn't do iot because I know better.
@Kevilaire I have to disagree. I have Asperger's. The video seemed reasonably accurate to me. I haven't done the staring at the name tag/tits thing. But I have done things in the past that I didn't understand were not socially appropriate.
What a rude bitch. She wouldn't last 5 minutes where I work. If a client or visitor reported behaviour like that, the receptionist would be straight out!
It is not nice to be called a pervert if you have got Asperger syndrome . If you called a neurotypical a pervert then he or she would become violent. People should put a name tag near their shoulder to avoid misunderstandings.
How ridiculous, having your assets practically hanging out of your top at work like that and then calling someone else who is looking at your chest a pervert... : / this autism society need to work on their movies because that is silly.
So it's wrong to read a name tag? Get out. Why stick it on your shirt where your breasts are if you don't want people looking there? I can't believe the woman couldn't pick up this man had a condition. I can tell he has something.
I loved this vid. For me I dont so much repeat things as I would feel socially anxious and nervous walking up to the woman. I dont know what comes over me, like its a quasi panic attack/social anxiety. And as for her name the guy should have spoke louder, b/c like in real life it probally would have been a loud enviroment. depite all that, love the vid and having AS, like I do, simply means, for me, that it's harder for me to interact socially with people b/c of panic attacks, self confidence!!
I will admit to this , although I have been denying this for a while. I do have Asperger's Syndrome and as I hate to admit it, yet I can understand the same problems what the young man is going through. For one thing I do get easly confused if a lot of people where to talk to me a lot. And I will admit to this, even people asking me questions is torture. Nonetheless I do have a habit of never keeping my eyes fixed and wherever I go I can never keep them on the same target.
The way that woman was talking would put me into overload in a second...OK, maybe 30 seconds. Yeah, let's all be like her... I read some of the comments. If I come out at work as autistic, they would probably demolish me completely.
Actually, I know someone with Aspergers. He does repeat things and does stutter. Once some girl said, 'Get away, you freak!' I turned around and said 'He has Aspergers, you know,' acid-tounged. She went silent and shut her trap. Be nice, people!
The sequel to this ad was: Violence At Work because his best mate ran out and kicked her down the stairs. "HAHAHAHA! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!?" Seriously that woman is pure evil. I wouldn't be surprised if she named her kid Damien.
Oh yeah I've gotten this a lot (I'm Autistic as well). Usually when I get bored, my eyes just wonder and just randomly look at something. When people take notice, they'll usually ask me what I'm staring at, or just automatically assume I'm weird. It's true, people just don't seem to notice that a person is autistic. No one would even know I was, until I told them, and from there, it lead to a better understanding of me, which then they can look past that and see me as a normal person.
I think that bitch seriously needs to realize that if you don't want people staring at your tits then you shouldn't wear low cut clothes with a nametage. She completely took what that guy was doing the wrong way.
Yes, the guy's obviously on the autistic spectrum, but the receptionist has a *major* attitude problem. I thought she was incredibly rude. And the question must be asked: why does she go around wearing such low-cut clothes if she doesn't want people to stare??
There is no need to call him a pervert. He's not some immature dumbass who thinks with his dick more than his brain. Autistics don't aren't as sexually active as neurotypicals. We do feel love but our version of love is more basic than a neurotypical's version. Our version is usually seen as a fantasy version of love as we see love as the warm feeling that you get when you're around someone which is the core of love.
i'm on the higher end of the spectrum myself and personally I think it was rude for the woman to call the guy with AS a perv (he was just reading her nametag!) not only that but i noticed that the AS guy was getting into the woman's personal space which could have distrupted social ques a bit if i might add.
By golly! tha receptionist seemed like she was not really botherd about her job, let alone calling the man a pervert when the man looked at her name tag.
Autism is an abnormal condition but is also very inspiring for human to understand how the brain functions. It remind us that what constitute 'normal' is a complex issue, it is only a by-product of our highly specialized mind well-adapted to survive in society.
Yes, a bit overdone, but I'm at the high-functioning end of the Asperger's Syndrome spectrum. Her non-stop talking would have sounded like radio interference to me.
As a long-time fake autistic, I find this video to be very helpful on the basics of faking aspergers as a shield for my general lack of social etiquette. As a long-time fake autistic, I find this video...
In everyday situations like this, people can accuse others like myself who have Asperger Syndrome of being rude when it seems as though you may not be listening.
It's not that we don't listen it's that we do not understand sometimes.
I have faced people and problems like what is in this vid and I cannot talk to them very well (but I'm getting better at it) and I try my best to understand what they are saying to me.
i'm an aspi, and I've often wonderd why name tags are placed next to the breast. its like when words are placed acrossed the front of t-shirts, or accross the back of shorts. you dont see guys with them around their crotch, or on thier ass. but in this instance I wouldn't blame the guy either way. :P
I find it strange that that big chest woman doesn't seem to want to cover it and showing it to everyone. This is pretty dumb to called someone a perv in my book.
What did I miss. I am autistic and actually I did not understand this video commercial at all. I live in the USA so maybe its the fact that we are 2 nations separated by a common language!
Now this I understand. Being autistic, i've been in tons of situations like this, but I still don't understand why everything looks like some kind of bad acid trip when it shows the autistic's point of view. :P
I think it's a bit over the top but overall its well done... i don't like the way the actor kept repeating things as most autistics don't do it in that kind of manner.
I do. When a person doesn't answer me and leaves me in the dark it is often the only way i can get the information i am looking for. I wouldn't be bothering them otherwise.
I'm ASD and I'm a female. I can't recll the statistics on the it right now but its not terribly rare. It may be that ASD females have not been recognized and it will become more common.
I like these ads. Being autistic, I understand them completely.
Other countries seem to be taking a broader look at the Autism Spectrum, whereas here in the US, the main focus is on children. That's where it starts, but it shuts the adult population out.
THAAAAAANK you. It's awkward to be walking around your local "autism research/counseling center" and there are toys and drawings of "finding nemo" characters everywhere. Yeah, like I didn't feel out of place to begin with...
