Sep 19, 2007 4:38am    (1 review)  arts  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Content/...

This video is almost 9 minutes long, but it is very interesting. It is especially useful for helping neuro-typical people understand the world of neuro-atypical people; ie those dealing with learning troubles and behavioral problems.
