Aspies For Freedom

The second broadcast of AutTV has been released -
http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/auttv

Hope you enjoy it.
Please give any ideas more broadcasts.

I liked the first one.

But that last one includes too many short-movies.

I think the AutTV should focus more on propaganda, pro-autism and pro-aspergers and perhaps some failures on the NT-society.

I also think you should include the pro-autism campaigns in TV-advertisments in Europe.

Denmark, UK, Germany, USA.

Any specific ideas for that?

Perhaps you could explicitly explain in detail about the fundamental benefits that being autistic can have such as heightened/different senses, greater ability to concentrate for longer times than most people could tolerate on your subject of choice in order to excel at it, and great creativity, and back this up with evidence and personal examples.

Well I am going to try and do something on artists on the spectrum, that should show the benefits of intense focus.

I loved Dean McIntosh's monologue.
It nearly brought tears to my eyes.

YES to the artists idea.

also how about something more everyday?  like, not all of us are geniuses.
i am an inhabitant of academia but I am definitely no genius.

um, I am thinking about this blog post:

Now, granted I have yet to listen to the other 2 shows.  
this is silly but i have downloaded them but keep forgetting to watch them, just like I buy dvds and forget to watch them until my husband grabs them out and starts to play a movie, then i watch happily!

Um, I'm not sure which broadcast I saw, but would it be all right to offer some helpful critique?  I know some people don't like critique, it makes them feel bad, so I thought I'd ask first.

Also, I watched it from someone else's computor, at home I have only a Mac, I can't view it.  Is there any way you could make this available to Mac users?

Thanks.

You can critique.

We are trying to find a way to make it more widely available thanks to an aspie called Spiralize.

once again 10/10

Another brilliant AutTV  :grin:

K, here goes, let's see if I remember everything I wanted to say:

Since I remember it most clearly, I will start with the interview (I can't remember the guy's name):
1.  When interviewing, try not to center the interview-ee in the middle of the screen.  Use the Rule Of Thirds.  First thing I learned in my Making Documentaries class.
2.  Never shoot into a window, it messes up the lighting and everything ends up looking washed out.
3.  All we saw was the guy who was talking- there were no little interludes where you showed something he was talking about w/ a voice over of him talking about it.  These tend to make it more interesting.  I recomend using them in the future.
4.  Some quiet, wordless music in the background might be good.

The prenatal test thingy:
1.  I think this said it was made by a 13 year old.  For a kid of that age (granted, I'm only a year older), this is really impressive.  I just wanted to say that before I critisize it.
2.  More info!  This was really short.  I don't think it quite got the message across.
3.  I had waaaay more time than I needed to read those headings.  Shorten them.

No time for more, I have to go now.  Maybe I'll come back later and finish up.  Bye.

It wasn't actually an interview, it was a personal monologue with titled questions added later.

Aaaahhh....
Well, the same still aplies.

:mad:   Now I'm mad at myself because I had more but I can't remember it....

Anyway, hope no one was offended (that's my little thing, constant apologies even when not needed 'just in case').

Thats ok. :smile:
