Royal College of Art Retrospective and‘A is for Autism’

主持嘉宾Host guest： Tim Webb
A retrospective of films from the Animation Programme at the Royal College of Art
and a screening of my film ‘A is for Autism’(1992).
The RCA Animation programme has been running for over 30 year and the screening includes films from the last 22 years. The period I have worked at the college.
The programme sits within an art college, which is crucial in our distinction and in being awarded school awards for the diversity of styles and genres
A recent development has been a pathway in documentary animation, which many of the films selected fit this genre.
Our aim is to continue to challenge existing methods and structures of animation production and exhibition by continuing to attract talented, passionate, thoughtful students.

在你摆脱我的困扰之前，你得先把我打晕。10 x天x天x天…大概吧”阿斯伯格综合症是一种孤独症，主要特征是缺乏社会判断力和强迫性行为。“阿斯伯格综合症和骄傲”是一部电影，关于我弟弟阿奎那·奥克尔他患有这种综合症。从文具盒到白金汉宫的警卫，再到LL Cool J，他的痴迷是持续的，有时是全神贯注的。阿斯伯格综合症这个词是由精神病学家洛娜·温(Lorna Wing)引入英国的，她重新点燃了奥地利儿童心理学家汉斯·阿斯伯格(Hans Asperger)的研究成果。它描述的是一个功能高度正常的人患有一种特殊的自闭症，一开始很难被发现。洛娜·温在这部电影中亲自诊断了这个人。沉迷是一个关键的指标，这部动画短片关注的是这些看似不相干的沉迷，试图把观众带入一个亚斯伯格症患者和骄傲者的世界。
“You’d have to knock me out before you get rid of my obesessions. 10 x day x a day x a day ....... approximately.”“Asperger syndrome is a form of Autism characterised, mainly, by a lack of social judgment and obsessional behaviour. Asperger and Proud is a film about my brother Aquinas Okell who suffers from this syndrome. His obsessions from pencil cases to the guards at Buckingham Palace, through to LL Cool J, are constant and sometimes all consuming.”The term Asperger Syndrome was introduced to the UK by the psychiatrist Lorna Wing who reignited the findings of the Austrian child psychologist Hans Asperger. It describes a highly functioning individual who suffers from a specific form of Autism which can be initially difficult to detect. Lorna Wing personally diagnosed the individual in this film. Obsessions are a key indicator and this animated short focuses on these seemingly disconnected obsessions and attempts to draw the viewer into the world of the individual who is both Asperger & Proud.
