A movie clip that illustrates autism sensitivities I have

[Magna]

This movie clip is from a movie called Love & Mercy, a movie about the life of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. The scene struck me because of how much I identified with the character in the scene in regard to my sensory processing disorder. I don't believe Brian Wilson has been diagnosed with autism, but the scene still represents my experience quite accurately.

AFAIK I think he was dx'd with schizoaffective disorder.

Have you seen perhaps the following videos from the National Autistic Society in the Uk ~ from the 'Too Much Information' campaign about autistic sensory overloads?:

I really relate with all three myself ~ some days all in combination, and other days more one or the other ~ depending on how exhausted I am or stressed I get.

i love that scene with Brian Wilson ,perfect. theres another scene that rings true with me, it on Taxi Driver where Robert Deniro in a restaurant watches the alka seltzer bubbles in his water get closer and closer to him. that whole movie is filled with examples of autistic behavior i wonder if Robert Scorsese is an Aspie. i dont know if im allowed to place videos of it here or i would for you.
