This is a trailer for The Asperger's Difference, a 30 minute DVD for and about young adults with asperger's syndrome to build self-understanding, self-esteem and self-advocacy skills.

The video follows three young people with Asperger's, who discuss what life with Asperger's is like, when to discuss your diagnosis with others and to whom, and more.  The video is well-balanced in that it stresses both challenges and strengths.

It comes with a discussion and resource guide to help individualize the content for the viewer. The DVD is also designed for use in diversity curriculums.

DVD is pricey - about $50 - but a Beineinu parent suggested asking various organizations if they have the DVD to lend out.
