:01:11. > :01:16.in. It is all about understanding autism, and who best to play the

:01:17. > :01:21.part? I just get too much information. For him the experiences

:01:22. > :01:27.in this film are a very real. One of the main things is people just

:01:28. > :01:34.brushing past you. I know that seems very silly and I know that seems,

:02:06. > :02:11.I'm learning all about starfish. Normally this area would be chaotic

:02:12. > :02:16.but it is quiet and that suits people with autism. It is amazing,

:02:17. > :02:21.it is not crowded. It is extraordinary. It has taken away the

:02:26. > :02:29.You have elaborated it perfectly, a lot better than most people. The

:02:38. > :02:40.friends on the sofa with me now. This is 12-year old Kieran

:03:26. > :03:30.good experience to just go and win gold. It is such a privilege. An

:03:31. > :03:34.amazing achievement, because you have only been working together for

:03:35. > :03:38.about two years and I heard it was 19 hours a week in training. A lot

:03:39. > :03:43.of hard work goes into winning that goals that you have read your neck,
