(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 youre 16...of course you have childlike behaviors....i think i watched cartoons until i was around your age...everyone is different and everyone likes different things. some people grow up quickly while others do not.
Sigh...Asperger's syndrome is a neurological disorder, not a disease. Would you call Epilepsy or Adhd a disease? Named after an Austrian, Hans Asperger, who first introduced it in the 1940's. His work was effectively lost due to language confusion until the 1990's when it was rediscovered.

Thanks Alex. I have two boys on the spectrum; both aspies (one more HFA than aspie though). We were having a rough few days and you're video helped reset my view and attitude:)
Alex, my son was diagnosed last year (at the age of 6 also) with AS and i have been searching for a good way to explain what he experiences in his day to day life-- how he learns, how he views the world, etc. you did a fabulous job with this video. i only hope that my son grows up and wants to help others understand him in such a way as you have. this is really great and i plan on sharing this with lots of people. blessings to you alex-- you are awesome.
