MD6002 Week 25 - What is Autism? (short animated film from the NAS)

This is an informative video from the NAS that explains what autism and Asperger syndrome are. It uses simple animation and vibrant colours, including those that represent the society (pink and purple). The narrator gives examples of situations that people with autism may find difficult, such as attending a party and not knowing who is going to be there as well as becoming anxious by the noise. He also highlights that no two people with autism are the same, for example one may attend university while another may need lifetime support. I find this film very effective due to its clear explanation of autism and Asperger syndrome (although the explanation of Asperger's is brief), its bright and simple animation style and informative nature.
