Through Autistic Eyes (2008)

Being autistic myself, I wanted to create this short documentary to give everybody else the opportunity to get inside the body and mind of an autistic child. This film has opened me up to a new genre, apart from action films and comedy spoofs. lol. Enjoy!

I was diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder at 43. It explained everything in my life and the diagnosis felt like being hit by a train. I paid for the formal clinical testing which was expensive. Prior to the diagnosis, I knew nothing about the disorder. It certainly is not the end of the world to have this diagnosis, since in many cases someone with Asperger's can be blessed with fantastic intellectual gifts. There are impairments though but this is through social interactions.

Not a disability.

I'm 15, and I believe I have Asperger's Syndrome. I'm not 100% sure, since I've consulted no professional in my whole life, but I've researched about this and realized how similar I am with other aspies. Almost everyone around me says I'm different. My close friend also agreed that I might really be autistic. She, in fact, joked many times before that I am autistic. Anyway, I don't care. My life has been hard, but I moved on, and I'm going to be happy in life with or without this condition :P

It's refreshing to see you being able to function through the noise in your world. I hope you do well in what ever you choose in your life. I have 3 boys,2 with autism. I hope that they will be able to work out their difficulties & find a place in this world. Thank you for sharing :D

Autism, is alarmingly more prevalent today than just 10 years ago, affecting as many as 1 per 166 individuals.

I'm still human like everyone else...............
