Product Description

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:

I purchased this DVD in hopes that it would help me explain my son's Aspergers to family. However, it is very brief and general. The aspersers section of this DVD is only a few minutes long. It also is very generic. It is worth watching if it is free, but I can't recommend paying for it. I usually don't judge a product on its price, but this wasn't worth it.

The information was good. It did show some of the problems a child with Aspergers has to deal with. I should have known that this would have been short on time. I will not order another news cast on anything because of how brief they are.

Interesting video but a little bit too pricy for a video that doesn't give very much detail at all.

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.
