(A Video About Asperger's Syndrome)
INFORMATION: My name is Alex Olinkiewicz and when I was 6 I was diagnosed with Asperger's (A High Functioning form of Autism). Ten years later I made this video to help you and others understand what its like inside my head. I show you 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 this video it has received many positive things. First it became a Featured Video on the front page of YouTube. This 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. This 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 this 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 this video will be shown on a public television station called BronxNet on a TV show called The Crystal Stairs.

Dude you nailed it especially the maturity bit (spins around on chair) laughs. I like to go on WP and look at photos and I see man children playing with their birdies and I think WTF it's like looking in the mirror.
Alex you are very lucky to have had someone who cared enough to help you get the help you needed. teachers cannot help the child without the parents cooperation.and really it has to come from the parent to help the child, and make the teachers. My parents hide from any hint of me having a aspergers. My parents were ashamed of me, but not enough to do something about it.
The video is really good. I don't have Asperger, but I do watch Spongebob. And all this with music, and sounds that give you headache. I have the same thing. I just wanna say that I really respect you, and this vid. Five stars.
I have Asperger Syndrome and thank you so much for making a video about Aspergers. This video really spoke to me, I feel as though when I am trying to do the right thing, some people I am close to really do not understand why I am making that choice. I feel as though I do not fit in with some people, then I find out that most people in my school are actually nice. So thanks again for the video 5 stars :) :)

Neurotypicals won't affiliate or stereotype me with Gary McKinion or think "Rainman!"
Bill Gates has it as well. I also meant Robin William's!!! I have also noticed many famous people or others in general who have Asperger's also have ADHD?? perhaps there is a link?
