I watched this on iplayer the other day, it was interesting, but I wasn't impressed. As others have pointed out it would have been better with a little more depth and more understanding of the differences between those on the spectrum too, not everyone has the same difficulties and the infomation was very basic. However maybe thats because people not on the spectrum might not be aware of the basics, although by now I think they should be. Personally I think there's more infomation on the NAS 'what is autism' and 'what is Aspergers' videos then was in that hour long programme.
As for the triangle animation test, I got the basic idea of the first one, half way through the first one I could tell the big triangle was trying to push the little one out. But then when the explanation went into more depth and compaired it to a parent trying to coax a child out, I wouldn't have got that. On the second one I thought the small triangle wanted to get in and couldn't, the game 'knock and run' didn't occur to me. Oh well, who knows.
