A Life with Asperger’s’ is an animated documentary that explores the challenges of growing up and living with Asperger’s Syndrome.
It is a voice over narrative that demonstrates that Asperger’s is not simply ‘being a little awkward’, rather it is about adapting to one’s limitations in the face of anxiety and isolation. The technique is a collage of photography, rotoscope, animated characters and live action footage.
