Asperger Talk Show
People with high-functioning autism, or Asperger's, have an extraordinary mind that allows us to understand its workings a little better. Indeed, the autistic mind provides a privileged view on the realms of sensory perception, thought development and emotions. Where the boundaries between diversity and syndrome become blurred, the ways in which the mind operates reveal areas of great interest for science. Diversity poses a challenge to our society because it is the only source of rich, constructive ways of thinking. A talk show that proves how powerful, amazing and still unknown the mind really is.
