Behind An Invisible Wall

NAS Film -1989. Children are shown on a playground, interacting, playing together. A second group, this time autistic children are shown. They were less active in general but most importanly appear to take no notice of eachother, playing by themselves. Compulsive, repetitive movements, socially improper behaviour, lack of imaginative ability. Abstract ideas are unprocessed therefore real objects can not be substituted with "make believe ones" in role play.
Difficulty in educating to be aware of others. Early diagnosis and training is very important. The film shows some techniques of early intervention such as combining shapes and colours into 'abstract' objects as to teach them the concept of abstaction. Learning Self Reliance in basic tasks is crucial.
Highly emotionally needy but rejecting physical attraction. Need for security.
