Autism through their eyes,
By
This review is from: Through the eyes of Autism (DVD)
This short film is nicely done with visual imagery, music, quotes on screen with text and interesting sound effects. This is all done Through the eyes of Autism. This journey is similar to what a child on the Autism Spectrum would deal with on a daily basis. They are just a few of the attributes of autism.
Through the eyes of Autism starts off with some fuzzy images and quoted text on the screen until the image is totally focused. The first quote is by a parent of a child on the Autism Spectrum mentioning how relieved she was to get a diagnosis so she would know what to do with her child. When this segment is over we see a hand go to the PECS schedule board and turn over the free play card to All Done and move on to the next sign of sensory. Viewers will get a sense of what sensory overload is like. There is a spinning top toys, bubbles being blown around, a child is mushing a toy car into shaving cream and rice is dumping from a hand landing into a table where there are toys. This is similar to our bean table at home since rice is smaller and hard to pick up off the floor on a daily basis. I must say though that rice and beans together is a nice tactile experience. The sounds sometimes come before the image, as is the case with a balloon losing air inside a classroom setting. This lands on a bean bag chair that has a book opened up and turned upside down. There is a lullaby playing in the background making one think this is quiet time. thought the short film was tastefully done and beneficial to those who know nothing about Autism Spectrum Disorders. A good primer for other parents, support groups, babysitters, respite workers, college students, new teachers and therapists. It will give you an inside look at what is going on around the child on the Autism Spectrum and how they take in all this information, images and auditory effects and how it can get all mixed up and jumbled in the mind, which in turn creates overload and confusion and can then bring on tantrums, etc.

Must see!,
By Mum "Adams Mum" (Twin Cities) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Through the eyes of Autism (DVD)
This short film is a valuable tool for all people involved with children and adults with autism. It give you a look at how they see things through their eyes without technical terms and written descriptions. It is visual and that is truly what it is all about for many individuals with autism. My son has autism and he watches it and talks to us about what he sees and how it makes him feel. You can attempt to describe how some lighting makes them feel, but this movie shows you how it makes them feel! Awesome look into their lives. It would be a great tool for the parents or teachers just learning about the sensory world for people with autism. No film would ever be able to give it all to you because they are all so different, but this is a well rounded look into how differently they may see things in the world. Thank you!
