"The Asperger's Difference follows three articulate young people as they navigate the waters of daily life and journey toward self-understanding and self-advocacy. Their poignant and candid insights into the longing and isolation they feel offer a window into the Asperger's experience." The film also "offers the viewer the opportunity to see the often overlooked strengths in individuals with AS" ; this helps to give a more complete picture of what it means to live with Asperger's." - DVD COVER
