Welcome to A.S.S.G.O

Oh what a great  film that was. It combined humour with real life struggles. I know that is how things are like because people who have came to my site have told me and it's very true to the film. Being Asperger myself I can relate to what the boy in the film sees. We look at things differently and I think it's very accurate on the way it portrays their views. It's based on a true story in a family called the jacksons. One of the boys (Luke) who has aspergers syndrome wrote a book which I've heard is quite good. I'll have to read it as I'd hope this boy would come to my site I'd have to return the favour. Anyway all in all I thought it was a great film. It shows with just a little bit of a different approach autistics and aspergers and adhds can have as smooth life as possible. Credit to the mum in real life who does all of it on her own. It also shows if everyone pulls together then things can change. And hopefully now that's been on the television things will start to change. The professionals scene was so very true about the way they are. They seem to mess about and they have no feasable solutions. Most of them don't even know someone on the autistic spectrum and even more they don't understand that if we could change our actions then of course we would but we can't help it. Like the film we have to find different approaches to things before it's too late. And the message that we wouldn't intentionally harm or do anything wrong is true. But we don't understand and that's the problem. Our brains aren't programmed to understand.  One message to remember though as said in the film, diffferent is cool. Let's face it like that film we all need a bit of difference in our life or it would get boring. Good luck to the real life jacksons.  I hope your film is the start to more understanding of autism and related disorders.
