Asperger Syndrome - Film

A short film from my screenplay 'I Have Asperger Syndrome and I am Proud of It'. This clip was written by me, George Severn, with the camerawork and editing by Charlie McMacken. This clip aims to give a brief insight into what it is like to have Asperger Syndome by addressing the aspect of how important a routine is. The main character Kevin has missed his school bus because it is early, and the film shows how he suffers an 'Asperger Meltdown' because of the destruction of his routine.

The background music is "Why So Serious?" from the film 'The Dark Knight.'

Thank you everyone who has commented so far. And I agree, ShawtyLG23, that 'Asperger Meltdowns' can be quite scary!

[georgetheaspie]

Certainly, mamalusk! I'd be delighted for you to use the video in your gathering!

Then the bus shows up and a huge wave of relief comes over me... Too familiar! But I think mines a little milder than this one, that or ive learned to control my anxiety somewhat

[VicTheMouth]

This stuff happens to me a lot too, it sucks because you can somewhat feel it coming on but rarely can it be stopped before it goes rogue

I have AS and used this video as an 'example' to my partner to show what can happen when such trivial things become triggers for a rage / meltdown / shutdown. My partner doesn't seem to understand, I have learned to vocalize when I need to be left alone...but I am followed, and triggered, and then I rage....and then I am blamed, even though I did everything right -- the way I was taught.

Very intresting film,it's very informative to me because i've got aspeargers and working on a similar project at college for someone with aspeargers, broken routines can make a person get all anxious in situations they aren't used to im like that sometimes.

this scared the shit out of me

Its a good video. With my AS I have no concern for things that do not make sense like being on time. Mostly because I could pass any exam, test or exorcise without preparation or listening to the sleep inducing drivel from "teachers."

Because of my OCD behaviors however, I can understand how not having a tardy record could play a factor in concern. I do not understand the frustration as I am never frustrated.

Really well done. It's really insightful.
