I should start off by saying I myself have a form of Autism called Aspergers Syndrome, so I could relate completely with the three people in this documentary that I couldn't miss. It was basically seeing the lives of three young male adults who live with this disorder, and how it affects their personal and social lives. The three boys are 23-year-old Oli with high functioning autism; 15-16-year-old Thomas 'Tom with autism spectrum violent disorder, and 24-year-old Alex with Aspergers Syndrome looking. Oli is unemployed and looking for a job, he is finding it hard with his disorder causing a lack of confidence and he feels holding him back. Tom's violent behaviour, including towards his parents, is causing him to be an outcast and he wants to move into a special home to have his independence. Alex has been single for years, and he is looking for love, and has found some luck on the internet and arranged a date. It was a really interesting documentary that really opened my eyes to my own social disorder, but it is nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. Very good!
