A Life with Asperger's

Jaime EKKENS 2013 USA Animation color 4min English Blu-ray
A Life with Asperger's is an animated documentary that explores the challenges of growing up and living with Asperger's Syndrome. It is a voice over narrative that demonstrates that Asperger's i s not simply "being a little awkward", rather it is about adapting to one's limitations in the face of anxiety and isolation. The technique is a collage of photography, rotoscope, animated characters and live action footage.
