ABC News reports on Aspergers Syndrome, a debilitating, life-long, neurological disorder with similarities to autism. Children with Aspergers have intense obsessions, great difficulty carrying on normal conversations or feeling emotions. Their obsession is a symptom of the unique disorder. They're highly intelligent but their brains are wired differently. They can't read faces if someone's sad or angry, so that leaves them alone, isolated. ABC News spends time with kids struggling to understand the language of life.
This "Primetime" show contains the following additional stories:

| Correct information but doesn't show how smart these kids really are | 2008-11-11 | 3 / 5 |
|
| Aspergers kids are intelligent and know more about their interests than the average adult. Many of our most important discoveries in our world were made by people who were "different thinkers". ABC Primetime does not show how intellegent Asperger kids really are. The movie states the basic facts but does not get into how people who are blessed with asperger's have really made a difference in our world. |

| I bought this dvd to show my students in my special education class. It was very informative and they found it helpful. A parent of a child with this disorder also said she loved it and wants to recommend it others. |
| life with an Asperger's child | 2008-08-25 | 5 / 5 |
|
| Despite all the current press on autism and Asperger's Syndrome, many people do not understand the autistic child. This DVD demonstrates the difficulties that an Asperger's child faces daily and the problems facing parents who have to deal not only with the child's behavior but the many aspects of having a loved child who is different. Highly recommended for parents, teachers and professionals who want to know more about this disorder. |

If you want to understand what a child with asperger's might act like, this is the video for you! I was very impressed with the story of three boys living with asperger's. Each one had his own unique fixation and their openess and honesty about their disability was refreshing to watch!
I would recommend this video to anyone wanting to know more about what asperger's really is like. Kudos to the kids! |

Primetime's documentary of 3 boys with aspergers syndrom is a great overview of the struggles both the persons with aspergers and their families deal with on a daily basis. Each boy has an obsession with something: one with trains, one with washers and dryers, and one with game shows. If only others could understand the importance of these things, too!
The show realistically portrays how the boys and their parents have had to adjust to the challenges that come with aspergers, particularly the difficulties in social situations, and what they are doing to ensure that they do not lose touch with the real world. This video increases anyone's understanding of the world of aspergers.
Thank you for this! |
