Extreme Love

I was advised to watch this video from a close friend.

The only other Louis Theroux documentary I’d seen was on pedophiles, so I knew it would be pretty heavy stuff.

This documentary was close to what I consider the perfect representation of autism.

Autism is difficult to describe because two people that have it can have completely different characterists. Introverts and extroverts, the silents and the loud, the placid and the violent; autism is all encompassing.

I think thats why this documentary is so good. Sure, there is a central character however there are several other subplots, that are perhaps equally as resonant.

It’s so relatable, as a disorder. Frustration, anger, anxiety are all things we have felt, yet they feel them perhaps more extremely and more frequently.
