Ok so this'll probably only work for those living in the UK, but anyone living elsewhere who wants to see it can ask on this thread and I'll make it available to you via alternative means. I think many of you with find this enlightening. Enjoy!!

UK Link; Storyville, Life, Animated

oh yes,good find! this is why we should have BBC3 back, then shows like this would get a much bigger following.

ive only watched the beginning as i have a routine and have to cook dinner with support staff at 11pmGMT ,but i relate to owen somewhat,especially his younger years when he says hearing language became garbled to him,that is my life even right now ,although not as bad as i used to be.
im also obsessed with disney like owen and go through films like robin hood,aristocats,fox and the hound etc over and over skipping to bits of it and rewatching them.

i will watch the rest of this documentary tomorrow.

also,i think americans etc can watch bbci player if they use a UK proxy,and also click on the button that says they own a tv licence.
 
I felt pretty sad seeing this guys childhood years and although I'm nowhere near the same level on the spectrum (thank god) I could relate to some of what he was going through (albeit to a lesser extent).

if you were somewhere around owens level of autism like me [although i am low functioning,im not sure if he has intellectual disability to as he says he is moving into his own place,which wouldnt happen at his age if you were low functioning],you wouldnt see it as a disability;when you have significant classic autism like myself and owen you tend not to have awareness of your shortcomings unlike aspies who are brutally aware of themselves in society amongst their peers,so you might think its a bad thing looking at owen but hes probably quite happy and oblivious if he is anything like me.
i might have this wrong and he might not like it-ive not watched the rest of the documentary yet.
