A light hearted look at the many autism myths that are around. These myths can directly affect the lives of people with autism and aspergers, so we need to laugh about it sometimes.

The people who did the study on the MMR vaccine have said it wasn't the cause, it was only an unproven, now proven false theory. Autism may not have gone up at all. People forget that it didn't exist before 1940's and the definitions has gotten broader since then. Back in the day, I wouldn't have been diagnosed with autism at, just a nerd. My dad nor my uncle nor my grandma were diagnose with it, but they definetly have it.

Sometimes autistic people can be hard to understand, but it is very easy to tell what they like and don't like; what they can and can't do, just like everyone else.

Some people can be so dumb. Who would ever think that autistic children have laser eyes?

@rayray695 I have AS and I am married and plan to have children. True, some people with autism may not be able to relate to other people well enough to find someone to marry, and they may not be able to cope with children, but some of us can and do.

@jltayl2 I think the point of this video is to say that the myths that do exist are just as silly as the crazy myths in the video. I have AS and don't find this video offensive.

@cpmc1 its not the shot itself.its the thermisol in the shot and yes it has been proven to cause brain disorders.Why do think they dont put thermisol in mmr shots anymore?Its an admission of guilt in itself.Thermisol is a mercury based substance and all people with autism have a high level of mercury in there body.where do you think this mercury comes from.The little mercury fairy.For every study you show me ill show you 2 studies that prove it does.

I have Asperger's syndrome and this is a wonderful video. I was actually at the end of my very long patience wire and this video cheered me up. Thank you AutTV for posting this. :)
