Asperger's Are Us: Overcoming Stereotypes

Hey Guys,

I came across this comedy group documentary on Netflix. What's different about this group is that they have Asperger's syndrome. This syndrome is high on the autism spectrum, where they have difficulty communicating and maintaining meaningful relationships. This group consists of four friends including new Michael, Noah, Ethan, and Jack; they met at a camp for people with Asperger's and instantly bonded because of their love of comedy. From there, the dream of creating a comedy group was born. Albeit, some of it is difficult to understand and relate to, but these guys are living their dream despite their disability.
