Disconnected Short Film

As a seventeen year old with Asperger’s syndrome, Eric knows the best way to get through a school day is to keep his mouth shut and avoid eye contact. He finds himself caught in a dilemma when he is asked a question in class. Past experience has taught him that the people around him rarely understand even straightforward mathematical explanations, but trying to explain a mathematical concept in lay terms gets him into real trouble. Disconnected shows the problems that a teenager with Asperger’s can face at school, and pokes fun at societal norms.
