Thanks for all the really nice comments, I'm so surprised by all the brilliant reactions to this video. I totally didn't expect so much love. This has definitely made all the effort I put into this worth it. In September I'm going to university for film so I will totally continue to update this channel whenever I feel like it. A small thing I forgot to add was that Stanley Kubrick and Mozart have been post humorously diagnosed by historians and experts on there life. Some may not agree with this and I feel weird about it but nevertheless wanted to include it. Also this is all just my personal opinion on the matter and I know others may differ from mine, so I'd love to hear you voice yours in the comments. I know not everyone like calling it a disorder.

Great essay! Deserves more views

For the longest time I thought I wasn't autistic because of media depictions. I grew up in the 1990s, so basically it was either "Rain Man" or nonverbal kids who see the world as a series of numbers. Neither apply to me, so I just assumed I was insane in the membrane! I finally got diagnosed seven years ago at age 34, and tbh, I'm still learning what it means for me.

Im so proud of you!! Autism doesn't typically mean nonverbal or someone who cant take care of themselves and I feel like the term Autism is so stigmatised that people call you out for 'not looking autistic' if you have it and appear 'normal' on the outside. Autism is just when someones brain works a little differently than neurotypicals, and doesn't necessarily mean a little white boy or someone in a wheelchair. Your strong!

This was great!!

We loved this thank you, will share with my sons too

I can't believe you don't have more views, this is so good! My personal favourite autistic character is Mary from Ghosts. It's not said explicitly that she is autistic but she is played by an autistic actress so it is intentional I think. It was the first time I recognised the way I speak in a character (the rythm and tone) as well as the way she moves and how she interacts with the other characters. What I like especially is that her autism is just a neutral aspect of her character, something that filmmakers seem to struggle with when intentionally writing an autistic character.

I’ll have to check it out, sounds like it would be an interesting watch.

such an amazing video you’re so talented

Yeeeeeees! The main character in Zodiac! I was watching this film quite recently and I kept on thinking "oh wait, hang on, did he... really? Ohhh, hello brother in ASD!"

shout out ladyhawke😃 good documentary

very important topic. there need to be better/more diverse representations of autistic people in media. netflix had a show called Dead End: Paranormal Park which features an autistic protagonist who was written by an autistic person(and also informed by other autistic people) so there are some forward steps even with all these setbacks. i also really liked Mary and Max and i think more autistic people need to hear its message because there are just too many of us that have internalized all of the hate and pity this world has shown us. funny you mention Pokémon and autistic headcanons because Pokémon is my special interest and i have a couple autistic headcanons there(namely Red, the protagonist of the original games)

Very well put, thanks for taking the time to share your thought and special intrest, I love hearing about them.

great video!!

Kudos to you mate

Great stuff. Thank you for your perspective.

Hey. Don't mind the third comment. I have a thing with the number 3. You have a passionate intelligence that I can relate too. Great channel and inspires me. 😁

Autism is so hard for me to pinpoint. Like, I know those with autism/ at a certain threshold prefer to hyperspecialize while taking in our surroundings for good or ill, and I enjoy that aspect. But the realization of stereotypes against those with autism is just too much for me sometimes. Anyone else feel this way? Cause right now I just don't feel like talking to anyone asides those who struggled equally. Back to art,

Oh right. Don't ever call it a disorder, bro. It makes you or us (not sure what I have) different, sure. But that just means we kick ass differently. 👊

This is amazing! It’s a very good detailed documentary! 🔥
