The Asperger Point of View Video/DVD

Asperger syndrome, although increasingly recognised in recent times, remains a disorder that is not widely understood. It is not simply a mild form of autism but in many ways, a hidden disability.

People with the disorder have a unique cognitive style and experience the world in a unique way as their thoughts and feelings are processed differently. The only outward sign we see of this is the individual's behaviour and actions which often cause misunderstandings and misconceptions.

Individuals with Asperger syndrome may have specific skills and strengths but also a range of deficits and difficulties. There are certainly some success stories but there are also many struggles. There are times of community understanding and acceptance and times of ignorance and rejection.

This video, as an introduction to Asperger syndrome, educates and informs as well as gives some insight into the reality of living with the disorder. It is suitable for carers and other professionals, families who may have a child or adult member with the syndrome, or those people who have been diagnosed and want to hear from others in a similar position.

While we can only hope to give a glimpse of this syndrome and it's effects in a 30 minute film, we have endeavoured to gather as much information as possible directly from those people who live with it every day so that we may all gain a greater understanding of the Asperger point of view.
