Autism Simulator

You or someone you know may have autism. Dr Chris and Dr Xand of Operation Ouch try to find out what that feels like.
Everyone with autism is different, but the inability to filter out distractions seems to be a key feature for most.

i don't think that the visual hallucinations are a good comparison to what it can be like to be in an area where one can't concentrate like that.

In the middle of typing this I got distracted and opened up the Katydid eats a wart video that's trending here at the moment. in the middle of typing THAT two of my neighbors started mowing the lawn at the same time and my wife has all the windows open so I know what my allergies are going to do and i don't want to walk around with a headache all day so I better close them should I do it now or whehn i get don....

what was I saying?

I have to agree, the visual representation seemed…off.

I was more interested in what the child indicated with the mixing board, that sounds (and sights I assume) are not filtered to highlight your focus, in fact sometimes the object of focus is somewhat filtered while ambient noises aren’t.

I often think of myself as partially deaf because I can’t seem to focus on voices no matter how much I try, but I often hear tiny noises others can’t until I point them out. I don’t think it’s an ear problem.

how do you know he's making eye contact? he might be looking at a tennis ball on a stick for all we know.

SFOGuysaid:

Interesting video.
The strange part for me was: the little boy, Alex, makes eye contact a bit too easily?
