Videos about Aspergers for children?

[rootsradicals]

Hello.
Our son has very recently had confirmation of Aspergers diagnosis. We've spoken to him about it and I'm about to order Freaks, Geeks and Aspergers, as it was recommended by the Educational Psychologist, but I think he'd take in information about it far better if he could watch it. It is his preferred medium and he will watch youtube for hours if left to his own devices!
Does anyone have any ideas about videos he could watch that just explain a little more about Aspergers? He is 8.
Thanks.

Place marking as we expect to be having similar conversations soon too!

There's one on the cbbc news round website I believe.

Thank you outputgap. Just off to do bath and bed but I'll have a search later!
Hi wonderpants, if I find anything else I'll post back. Video is the guaranteed way to hold his attention so it'd be perfect if I can find something. He does love to read but not so keen to read 'information' sort of stuff!

They're both great thank you very much!
Given that it seems so many people on the autistic spectrum enjoy computers and technology so much I'm really surprised I can't find more out there though.

Ah, weirdly I've just watched a youtube video of 'Autistic Genius' and thought my son would probably love him! He was reading this book www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1300051337?keywords=dude%20im%20an%20aspie&qid=1457907291&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Dude, I'm an aspie which I've just ordered. Looks like a good starting point, not too much information and I think it will appeal to my boy's sense of humour!

I should say- my son is obsessed with watching 'Let's plays' and Autistic Genius reminded me of some of those!

Absolutely zzzzz! There's a definite gap- if I had any skills in that area I'd be right on it!

I like this too - but maybe it would be better for when he's a bit older? My sons psychologist recommended I watch it after DS was diagnosed and it cheered me up a bit. It's also from Tex Talks

Zzzz you are so right. Those would be my top picks too, along with how to feed a hungry child who won't eat anything

I also like this video

Thanks so much everyone, I've got a nice little lot to go through now!
I showed him a youtube video last night of the Autistic Genius reading 'Dude, I'm an aspie' and he really liked it. I also ordered the book which arrived today and he loved it! Made him howl with laughter and he was nodding away and reading the cartoons out to me.
Interestingly he also mentioned that he'd been speaking to a friend at School about having Aspergers which I'm really pleased by, didn't think he was really taking it all in to be honest!
If anyone else wants to have see the book being read by Autistic Genius this is the link.
