Oliver Sacks - Rage for Order

A great Oliver Sacks documentary on autism is now available on Google video.

Oliver Sacks: Rage For Order from the Mind Traveler series, 48mins, Year: 1996.
By Oliver Sacks, author of 'Awakenings' (also made into a film) and 'The man who mistook his wife for a hat'. This particular part looks at autism through the life of Jessie. In particular it looks at how people with autism can be interested in control and categorization on one hand, whilst being fascinated with the unpredictable and chaotic on the other. By extension Jessie has a lot to say about human beings in general just as her paintings and life inform us about autism.
