Mind My Mind
When you have Asperger’s and rely on social scripts, it is not easy to deviate from them. Especially if you are obsessed with German dive bombers and just want a date.
This light-hearted animation film provides insight into how an autistic brain works – Chris’s brain, anyway. Chris is a man with Asperger syndrome. Together with Hans, a little guy who lives inside his head and prepares social scripts, he tries to camouflage his obsession with dive bombers. When zoologist Gwen invites Chris to meet her favourite chameleon, he quickly proceeds to a flirting script. But then the chameleon dies and Gwen needs Chris to go off script.
