It's a pity this documentery didn't really look into what help was avaliable for autistic people. I was actually filmed for this giving a talk to the year 7's, but my footage wasen't used in the end. Spa School was my local secondery school, but I left before this documentery was made and I knew Roy and Esther. Not Roxanne and Moneer (I think that's how it's spelt) so much as they were in Year 7 when this was made. A pity, it could have been better.
@Luca220392 It's a documentary, not a comedy. If you want comedy, grab a rope go into the woods, and hang yourself. I'll be laughing so much to a person who once offened my fellow Aspies
I hate that they feel they're different because all of us are different i know some autistic kids and i think they are the most interesting people. They are smart, kind , and fun to be around.
there was an autistic kid at my high school. he would always talk about the weather and electronics. when he would greet you he would state your birthday first then your name. he could tell you what day of the week you were born on and do large math sums without even touching a calculator. he was a sweet kid, just got a bit annoying with the weather and electronics talk though.
i wish these kids were taught that they are a person WITH autism not that they have autism, that in the end it only makes up a small part of who they are and it is a quirk of humanity.
That guy who remembers Eastenders. That is normal. well i don't mean about the time he first saw her, but the information, is not that hard to remember, i know almost everything about the British SAS, Paratroopers and armed forces, all you do is some re-search and boom
I have this affliction of not understanding others because im self centereed in a bad way ergo i have anxiety all the time. When im on something like weed i can feel others almost read their mind if you will. Anyways i hope i dont have this. Im quite sure im suffeting from xtreme depression
Some of these people have a genuine neurological difference, but the majority are just brats looking for a label to excuse their selfish happy horse crap.
For Roy it's (what? 06:00). I don't understand this word, could someone spell it for me please? I'm really intersted in autism - I read a book about an autistic boy and I was sure that all these people are very calm and distant. I thought that they always sit in one place doing maths, but they are so much more. Sometimes I feel sorry for them, they must feel really lonely, but sometimes I admire them, and try to understand. I wish I knew someone with autism...
It's so curious to me that in another "Only Human" documentary called "I can't stop eating", all of the comments were very cruel and of a mocking nature. But with this documentary, many of the comments are caring and thoughtful.
Why are obese people with mental challenges funny, but thin people with mental challenges a cause for concern and care?
It's so incredibly sad, and very indicative of the shallow, vacuous world we're living in.
What she means is she doesn't understand 'why' is something wrong. Though the eyes of autism, many social rules just don't make any sense, and we have a literal and logical way of thinking. People say it's wrong to point at someone.... why is that? How does pointing as someone hurt them?
I am autistic and 'normal' people tend to annoy me because of their conventional way of thinking.
That's cool, if if you were "like" them you'd still be a nice person. I think that people on the autism scale need understanding and to be taught ways to deal. :) Have a nice day.
I think she ment in the way a child understands right but not wrong. Yes they may know it (whatever it is) isn't what they should be doing but they can't find the little voice in their heads that tell them "no, stop, bad". You know what I mean?
Im not being offensive but they are like 5 year olds, I had a freind in primary school who had autism, but he was kind of popular, in contrast to this other kid who was insane
Im not being offensive but they are like 5 year olds, I had a freind in primary school who had autism, but he was kind of popular, in contrast to this other kid who was insane: HOW ARE THEY LIKE 5 YEAR OLD?
Roxanna remain me of myself when i was in school i would trow very dangerous items at others who bother me or i jokingly trow stuff such as hammers, clambs, gym wights etc, not proud of it but at least now that I'm older i know better.
This documentary was being shown back in 2005, Roxanne's far more improved now, she doesnt do that as much now... she doesn't throw things but does get kind of frustrated... I love her to bits, ive known her for years xD
You know the boyon the right at 7:38? Is he Alexander who was in 'Young Autistic & Stagestruck', which was on Channel 4 recently? He said in the fiulm that he went to Spa School; I'm not sure if he did at the time when this documentary came out; but was it him. It wasn't vvery clear; but from what I saw of him; it did look like Alexander.

True, this is *very* negative. But low functioning auties are part of the autism spectrum as well--and with more media coverage, more stories of spectrum experience are coming to media attention. Some of these *will* include negative feelings.
The task remains to us, spectrumites who like ourselves, to support and encourage others as they find their way across the human spectrum.
I went to a school like this for a couple years! I was happy there because it was much nicer than public school had been, but a lot of my friends there were always getting upset like most of these kids are. I hope they're happier now.
Actually, I think they *are* speaking for themselves. It's just that we tend to berate ourselves for not being normal without stopping to think of what normal is: an average. They sure as hell don't complain about straight A students or football stars for not being normal! But only for behavior that not acceptable--and that's the problem : "normal" being a prerequisite for love and human dignity.
Why they want to be normal is Sitheis2009 is cause like normal people get on with life easily and they socialise more simplier, with an autistic person it depends really and mainly affects them in a social way, managing their feelings, speech etc... Now do u get the idea?
