  • I also came to the conclusion of the similarities of the X-Men and people with Autism spectrum. I am diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. We are similar to super heroes in general, specific and rare abilities yet strange specific weaknesses. I have witnessed Autistic people who have successfully harnessed they're abilities that no NT could do. At the same time I have seen how fragile we are. I am still trying to harness my abilities but I do suffer a good bit from my weaknesses. Great video.

  • x-men movie really talk about diversity, among other things
