Interesting as I happen to have information on a video available from the NAS featuring three AS students speaking for themselves, one of them being me. The difference about this video is that it was not made by profesionals and is a damn sight more authentic as a result. Available from the NAS for £15.99 it is called "Outside in, Living with Asperger Syndrome" http://www/larry/arnold.com/ASvideo.htm Larry > -----Original Message----- > From: The Disability-Research Discussion List > [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Anna > Charles-Jones > Sent: 01 July 2003 16:06 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Updated version!
