This Hardcore Video Makes You Autistic For 2 Minutes… OMG It’s Intense.

You most likely know what autism is, but how much do you really understand about how autism affects the person who has it? There are a vast multitude of misconceptions about autism, and this video, produced by the National Autistic Society, aims to clear up a few of them.

In the video, we see a boy being led through a shopping mall by his mother. It's not a peculiar scene in and of itself, but the video is filmed from the perspective of the boy: What he sees, how he hears things, and how he reacts. It's an interesting look into how autistic people perceive the world around them --and it will definitely inspire you to educate yourself more about those that have it.
