About Me:
 
When I was 6 I was diagnosed with Asperger's (A High Functioning form of Autism). Ten years later I made a video called "In My Mind" to help people understand what its like inside my head. I show people how I behave and how I think by webcam and by using cartoon pictures that I drew on MS Paints (Microsoft).

Reception: Ever since I posted the video "In My Mind" it has received many positive things. First it became a Featured Video on the front page of YouTube. The video has won 2nd place in the 2007 East End Student Film Project and was nominated for Best Commentary Video for the 2007 YouTube Awards. The video was shown at the Western Suffolk Counselor's Association spring conference in front of 25 counselors and will be shown again this time in front of 300 counselors. Also the video have received many comments, sure I have got a few bad comments, but mostly all of them are strong positive comments from Parents who has kids who are diagnosed, Teachers, People who has friends who are Autistic, and also people who have Asperger's/Autism. Also the video will be shown on a public television station called BronxNet on a TV show called The Crystal Stairs.

Hi - I just want to thank you for your video !In my mind" which I use a lot with other young people with Aspergers - (you said it was OK) and also I have to say, you really remind me of my oldest son (25) both looks and behavior - he has the same sense of humor as you I think. He is like me - nt diagnosed but close to Aspergers (my youngest son is diagnosed with AS...) Love your videos!

Thanks Dude, you're a treasure. BTW, many gifted children with high IQ's have problems fitting in anywhere or relating on a social level..

i have AS too. your video is relative to what goes on in my head too. you can find me on facebook, my name is clifford barrett. i want to ask you if there are other people with AS that you know or if there is a place to go to meet others with AS. They have one place to go at this tech college, but i haven't been there yet. have a good day. good bye.

OMG! Alex...thank you so much for this. My son Matt 19 is struggling terribly right now with As and not being able to fit in anywhere. His Therapist is pushing MRDD and I am so uncomfortable placing him in that category because I work in that field and I don't want him stuck somewhere for lack of nothing else. He wants to go to college etc. he has zero friends dude, and my heart breaks everyday and I do not know what to do. He has threatened suicide 2 times in the last year. You are 26 now?? Is this correct?? I know you are busy but if you get the time to read this send me your facebook info if you have it Matt loves facebook Or just email or whatever..You rock dude !
