RETURN TO AUTISM - Episode 01 of 10: Normal Folk Project

I know Marty and this woman is a wonderful person who is diagnosed with autism. Keep your negative comments to yourself. You obviously are ignorant to autism.

Hey everyone. posting to my videos is a privilege. If you're enjoy writing hurtful comments about others then take it elsewhere. Thanks for all the positive comments here and anywhere you may post on YouTube.

Awesome video - I myself have a form of (as society calls it) Autism and it was great to see your courage in talking to all those people about who you are. I'm becoming increasingly passionate about helping people understand what it's all about too. Thank You for your inspiration!!

Believe it or not, Autism is Spiritual. Individuals labelled as having Autism is just a way for society to understand what's really going on. Individuals with 'Autism' are born with 'whole brain' functioning - they experience everything in extremes, this is why they have been labelled as having 'social disability' - it's only because a social situation is too much for them to be in when they aren't living their life through a purpose - which is what this woman is doing.

Excellent video. I'm looking forward to the movie, and the rest of these previews. Marty is perfect for the role. There are starting to be a few more movies about adults with AS. This is the best and most realistic I'm aware of to date. Chris.

Thank you for your video! i like it.

This was a really good video... I plan on watching more of your work.. keep it up!

Thank you for this video... I can't wait to see Normal Folk. It is a personal goal of mine to spread autism awareness, especially in schools. Marty is such an inspiration! Thanks again.

Now I don't mean to be all PC in that last post on you so much as to point out that teaching has shown those with autism can learn & demanding more is better than lowering standards & MR just has the connotation of a never changing set point like an I.Q., but the fact is that success is always possible even if always handicapped.

I.Q. is just potential or learning rate, but if learning then that is key. Handicapped just means you need more help or more time, but MR seems to again imply more.

You don't say 'MR' you say 'MH' but this video is very good at pointing out how schedules of reinforcement can always change things.

Just because a person has left their own country or pursued higher education does not mean that you will continue to seek out social interaction unless environments, supports, and schedules of reinforcement evoke behaviors that have been learned.

Obviously, to learn it can be different for a spectrum disorder.
