What a great way to show the world how autism affects millions of lives every day, was a pleasure to work on this.

I'm 15 and I have aspergers syndrome and I can conform this is very accurate. I often start hyperventilating in places like that

[kawaiicat]

I am glad they made this video coz I am autistic and I hope it helps people understand

[janejason]

This film is brilliant.my grandson is now 13 and coping better in the outside world because we all now understand better the problems he faces on a daily basis. However I have been in situations shown on the film and this highlights so well how a child with autism can be mistaken for a badly behaved brat. I'm sure the film will educate many to the problems facing people with autism on a daily basis.

Brilliant concept, fantastically done. As a therapist I have worked with many autistic kids and I can understand the anger of "GGG...clan" - these kids and their families are constantly judged by others..

I have ASD Aspergers Syndrome and this is so accurate. I'm a fairly high functioning type and get sensory overload in situations like places such as shopping centres or buses.

[OrthodoxChristian]

I have Aspergers and I mainly shop online. I hate shopping centres and crowded, noisy places. Boots the chemists stinks terribly with all the chemicals in their products. I end up with a bad headache and feel sick.

[adamwhitehead]

I'm generally good, as I'm high functioning type. I'm 13, and this situation, the things happening have to be twice as bad. Still, I know.

[ItsRealyReall]

That looked well done and I'd love to see more on this. Thank you very much. :) Wish that we had more of something like in the US, though. >.<

[taramurphy]

Most people in public will stare and wonder why the behavior is happening because it's unexpected. The parents expect that this will happen. Others don't and that's why there will be stares. There are ways to teach autistic children how to tolerate unpreferred situations.

I'm getting tested for autism and what I have Been like this is really true

[ladyxxmacbeth]

People staring at our family doesn't bother me. People are curious and if I saw a child like my son, I don't think I could help myself from looking. When my son is walking round Tesco flapping his arms and making loud, unusual noises, people look, if you hear a noise you look, it human nature.

[calebroy]

i have autism and a speech impertinent and only 30% hearing in my right ear plus i have ADHD and i get bullied. i learnt a simple way not to get bullied as much is to only tell like 2 of your freinds plus your family

[ssgk]

my sister has autism and he is 8 years old and my mom said that she will maybe put her in a special home because my sister is so hard to take care of that my mom cant handle it any more but my sister is nice some time and i love her and my sister cant talk

[JogVodka]

If I was put in that scenario, it wouldn't even been an endurance match, I wouldn't even be a little annoyed.

[erinocelotl]

I'm not autistic but I find the work terrifying and confusing...

[shabnamrafique]

I don't like the word "meltdown"!
