My Autism and Me
A wonderful BBC video directed by an autistic girl, on autism. THE BEST WAY TO LEARN ABOUT THE SUBJECT
This is fucking fantastic and she is so adorable
Personally, I can identify with all these kids - I empathize with inanimate objects the exact same way I do with people (like if I bump a piece of furniture into another piece...I'll feel second-hand pain the same way I would if I saw someone get hit); I've had some pretty major meltdowns because I was trying to play a game but didn't understand the rules (I mean seriously this is the easiest way to piss me off/upset me in less than a minute); and I actually plan on having as much vertical space as possible in my future home because multiple levels of living space in one room would just be the most fantastic thing omg. And little caves and shit. And close ALL THE DOORS OMG my brain itches when they're open.
