Asperger Syndrome is part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder - a condition which affects they way people experience the world, the way people communicate, and the way that people think. Because it affects those areas in a person's life, it makes it very difficult to partipate the way we all take for granted.

For this week's Eye On Wales 48 year old Mark Annis, and 22 year old John Green and his mother Pat have recorded events in that take place over a day.

Both Mark and John are university educated but are struggling to fulfil their potential. They share their frustrations, and their hopes for the future.
