Here are two articles about an aspie called Flora Keays, daughter of UK politician Lord Parkinson:

I'd like to watch the documentary that was made about her, "Flora's Story" (http://www.twentytwenty.tv/production.aspx?ID=9). Do any of you have it?
I don't have it, but now that I've read the articles, I'd like to get a copy of that film as well.

From what I can pick up from the articles, the film is not out yet, because of the gag order, which was so ridiculously harsh.  I couldn't deduce whether or not it was even finished.

Even taking out her origination, Flora's story sounds so interesting.  That she is still going is amazing to me.

The other thing that caught my eye was that Flora was sent to a special school in Israel that had a revolutionary treatment.  I would like to learn about that as well.

Thank you for posting this!

Don't click on that second link anyone, I just did, and it just tried to install a load of adware/spyware crap on the computer I'm using.

(makes me glad for once, hat I have to use public access at the local library to get online now....)

The film was broadcast on UK's channel four TV in January 2002.

Here is the website of the special school in Israel she was sent to, "The International Center for the Enhancement
