Life, Animated - autism documentary research for NAS brief



A documentary about a boy with autism who grew up using animated Disney movies to learn to communicate.

Relevant to the brief we're doing and our response to the brief.

The trailer on YouTube also has a lot of positive comments/reviews from people with autism themselves, which shows that this documentary is well-made and representative of the experience of autism. 

Key points:
Owen found the exaggerated expressions and emotions in Disney movies easier to understand than in real life. This is because autistic people often have trouble reading people's faces. It might be useful to use this info in our own animations when we create them!
