What the heck is that about?
Buy Persil and we'll push autistic kids into puddles?
That new Persil advert?
Link?
Can't see youtube at work - description?
I think the idea is that many parents are now so scared of everything they don't even let their kids play in the mud. They keep that stupid attitude up long enough and Persil's profits are going to drop.

Fine by me. I don't like kids who can draw.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW that was such a sweet ad!
The weird thing is they pbviously did some serious research into autism, and hiring a child actor with autism, brave.
Great advert, but not sure what for?

Am I missing something? How d'you know he's autistic? He just looks like any other kid, and there's nothing saying "Hey, this kid's autistic". Do you have insider information? Or is just a joke I don't get?

Just watched it.
Dear god it's depressing.
Worked in Autistic services for years, and the behaviour of the kid in the final shots is a dead give away.
Also the anaology of feeling disconnected, like a robot is a very common theme in autobiographical works of people with ASDs.

Or - strange concept in the world of TV - it could be acting.
If it is, he is an extraordinary actor.
Hmmm, I dunno either way. I just thought he was splashing about in mud then catching the rain in his mouth. The robot? F**k knows?!
Who puts TV ads on youtube? Crazy.
