Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi guys, My almost 16 yo granddaughter told me to go to the MTV website and check out this series on autism. She said that they do features on teenagers who face various life obstacles. The series of 7 clips follows 3 teenagers: one has Aspergers, one is a Savant who has outbursts of frustration and the third is a boy who appears to be severely affected... no speech, little eye contact, hand flapping and stimming. This is the boy who fascinated me the most. Next time someone tries to tell you that most individuals with autism are mentally retarded, tell them to watch this series!!!! It takes about 2 hours to view it in it's entirety, but can be watched in incriments. I planned to do just that but wound up staying up till 1:00 am!!! Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/2c82oh It is well worth the time! -Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
