"Through Our Eyes: Living with Asperger's" (FULL Documentary) 50-Minute Extended Version

we need to start a worldwide support group for us aspies so many of is are isolated alone with no support :(

Very moving and at times joltingly relatable to this "old man," 66 years old. My autism discovery was a bit over a year ago. And a whole lifetime suddenly made astounding sense.

Alyssa is like a big sister to other autistics shes just so awesome :) I can say her videos this documentary in particular saved my life at a time when Inwas ready to end it.. It showed me im not alone.. And I have another family worldwide ❤ Thank you Alyssa and everyone in this documentary from the bottom of my heart thank you ❤

iT WAS REALLY COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT THERE IS AN EXPLANATION FOR THE WAY WE BEHAVE. i LOVED THIS DOCUMENTARY.

Wow, this film is so good on so many levels. Alyssa is giving everyone a special gift by producing this inside look at what it is like to have Aspergers or autism. It's so personal and also really professionally done. I hope this gets a huge reach so everyone can learn about this perspective.

this documentary is so spot on.

Thank you for this documentary. My late husband was diagnosed with Asperger's in the tenth year of our marriage. It explained many of the marital issues that plagued us. We worked so hard to maintain our union. We managed to remain together until Anthony's death from renal failure. You are an inspiration to me. 🌻

I used to hate school so much. nobody understood me, the teachers labeled me a naughty child. I used to put my fingers in my ears when doing prayer or timetables because I hated the sound of everyone talking at once and I'd pray to be sent outside but then worried about the price I'd have to pay for it (being told off) I was way more productive outside of a classroom but even then I'd still spend my time looking out the nearest window just wanting to be outside with the bugs and animals. Or wanting to be at home in my safe space with my mum. I'd often pretend to be unwell so I didn't have to go and I hated Sundays, knowing that after a weekend of peace I would have to go out and do it all again. I was ignored for years, and eventually got very extremely anxious and depressed and tried so hard to be like other girls my age. All I had was laughter that made me happy. I used to go home and I'd play with my Barbies, this was right up until being about 16. I only stopped playing because my brother told everyone and utterly embarrassed me. Since I was diagnosed everything made so much more sense. People still don't always understand me and I try really hard to not have to tell them I'm not like most people but honestly I have such a good level of empathy and I connect with others so well as long as they don't piss me off with a lack of empathy toward me or others. I often have to stop myself from talking to people because I know I'll just say anything in efforts to avoid small talk and they just won't get it 😂😂 there's so much more I could tell you but I will be here for days !

As an Aspie, I approve of this full length documentary! Abandoned the shorter, less informative version within a quarter of a heartbeat upon discovering this option. As opposed to the million+ who’ve watched the shorter version, the few thousand who’ve watched the longer version are probably just about representative of the proportion of Aspies to NTs out there...we’ll, not precisely but generally, maybe. What a terrific video. Fantastic talent with filmmaking, really enjoyed this, thank you.

Sweet, Nice to see more of what we didn’t get to see

This was a very beautiful and wonderful experience to watch this documentary. It's well put together and has a lot of personality and emotion in it. I do personally have Asperger's (I learnt that from my perants this morning), and it's wonderful to see other people who are more or less like me. Thank you for all your advice and all the things I can relate with other aspies. This video really changed a lot of things for me, thank you 😊

I don't have an official diagnosis, but this... explains so much. I mean it was like a documentary about me!

I've been meaning to say this for a while, the example you use of airplanes, IS ME! I build them, work on them (when I can), and have always loved them.

Omg this is an amazing quality documentary (the editing and the research👌) how is your channel not way more popular??😂

Thank you for this film❤️ I’m a 47 year old woman about to get Asperger diagnosis and i can’t believe i have been masking my whole life 😞. For some reason there is not a lot of research on Asperger and woman😞🤷🏻‍♀️ Lots of love from 🇳🇴 Norway

Very understandable...inspiring...visually interesting...mentally stimulating...

Loved your first documentary and I Loved this one a whole lot too 😄

It was wonderfull. I learned a lot with the video. I am researcher and recently I have a young person wth autism in my group. I am glad to meet him. This video gave me a better understand from point of view from a person with asperger.

This is a wonderlul documentary. My son is 7 and has been diagnosed with "provisional autism" due to his preematurity, born at 24 weeks gestation. My husband and I always felt he also has Asberger traits as well- sensory and socially. He was reading by age 3, always has had an obsession with letters words, logos, commercials, music, music videos and books. Sometimes he refferences to music and commercials that may be appropriate for the situation. He can memorize things that he is interested very quickly. He also has trouble with learning things that might be new and things he may not understand right away. like all of you, he is unique and can offer the world so much! I am doing everything I can to help him grow happy and healthy, understanding that he may be unique to many typicals, but embracing his gifts. How can I learn more? What tips, or advice can you offer a parent with a child that has Asbergers, Autism, and SPD. I almost feel like he is not completely aware of his differences, or at the beginning stages of understanding his differences. Suggestions from this supportive community will definently help my growing little boy. Lastly, thank you so much for all the effort in putting this documentary together. Boy, what an eye opener!

Thank you🎈 Bravo Alyssa👏👏👏 I’m 68 years old diagnosed HS Asperger’s two years ago and now misdiagnosed as bipolar—that’s what brought me here! If the shoe fits, I wear it. My gosh, once diagnosed I understood all my childhood memories and struggles, like a movie. I was unable to pass 9th grade yet told by teachers: “…what’s the matter with you? You are obviously brilliant…” I’m HS under genius, I had to have two IQ tests to be convinced, lol. The irony? Now that I stopped all head meds, got my brain back; one psychiatrist told me I intimidate doctors! Lol Awareness is the beginning, keep up your tenacity, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
