I had to laugh when I saw this, I have Asperger's syndrome and this child is me (I sat on my own playing with the wheels on the toy truck) until the age of 10 when I started interacting properly with other kids. The only difference is I had an awquard gait (walked unusually due to motor problems) and this kid doesn't. I really like this advert - it goes against the normal (and incorrect) steriotype that all autistc children are have it severly and are easily distinguishable from their peers.
