I just had to share this with all of you. It rearranges your whole perspective.

I'm struggling how to word a response because, unfortunately, it doesn't rearrange anything for me.

It is very very far removed from my experience of autism, although she did make some good points.

Sorry, got as far as her making the 'fish' sign while saying 'overlapping.

What is the point of it?

It's a powerful video.
I have a severely autistic child.

Doesn't rearrange, but I knew all this already.

Still a bloody good video though!

Noeuf, you need to stick with it, then you might get it.

It’s a good video. Reinforces my perspective. My 10 year ASD, intelligent, imaginative but battling with a damaging fight or flight response (school is extremely challenging right now), and I suspect my DH is as well.

TheSconeOfStone · 11/06/2018 13:55

Meant to say 19 year old DD with ASD.

TheSconeOfStone · 11/06/2018 13:56

10 year old! Fat fingers.

@Leoparda

What is it saying though? Just about autism? Or political? What's it trying to do?

Leoparda · 11/06/2018 14:01

its about autism, explains a few behaviours. The lady in the video is autistic, as is her son.

SouthWestmom · 11/06/2018 14:22

Oh ok. Probably not aimed at me then.

Love this, thanks for sharing. It doesn't change how I think about ASC but it's useful to show it to my family
