Anyone find it interesting that it’s mainly females and the couple males seem more on the feminine side?

I watched this programme, and really felt for you oli, you seemed like an amazing person, God bless you.

This is so odd yet interesting

Seriously, they all need to take an autism awareness course. The whole episode seemed to be Oli saying "I'm autistic" and them all saying "well, maybe don't be because it offends some people?"

Heartwarming but also a bit scary in a "Luke, I am your father...What?!? I Kissed my sister? " kind of way. I guess that's also one reason they agreed to all look each other up. And why a lot of same sex couples would choose to have a known donor that would enable them to be informed about their other offspring. Or even better asking a sibling to be a donor so health histories and possible organ donation would be easier.

Beautiful made me cry 😭

They all have same eyes.. ❤️❤️❤️

the clone wars have begun...

I really thought this documentary was absoloutely brilliant, I could relate to oliver, and his aspergers as I am a young lady on the autistic spectrum and an officially trained autism advocate,

I wouldn't want to do this, there's too many lmao

I just wondering if Oli has autistic traits. But it must be one hellish shock to being an only child to be one of twenty five.

After seeing this trailer I watched the film, and my heart goes out to Oli. I have some aspie traits, and know EXACTLY what it’s like to not really know how to engage with and mesh into large groups, what it’s like to miss the social cues that come so naturally to most people, as well as not always knowing when (or how!) to shut up and bite my tongue. :/ I hope things work out and that some of the siblings develop close relationships with him. ::hugs::

Oli had so much to deal with, cultural differences, asperger's and being fairly new to the group. I feel like a sibling is a sibling and they should be more lenient with him like saying the word b**** is rude sure but is it really worth making a huge deal over?

I have 24 brothers and sisters, 22 from same father but we r not donor babies we all know each other

I would love to watch the whole thing here in Australia

spencer tho...

Me, who have never wanted to have siblings: why does he even want to find them? I have a half sister, have never met her, and hope she won't show up for inheritance. And believing that people you don't really know will value you just because they are blood relatives, is hilariously naive

Het zou een prima studie kunnen zijn over hoe we onszelf in een ander herkennen, maar zoals te verwachten, heeft men alweer de laatste trein gemist. Ik zit in een tegenovergestelde cyclus - het me losmaken van banden, die ik in dit leven dacht opgebouwd te hebben en dat was nodig omdat Sophia (mijn volgende ik) weer de keuze heeft om ze te herbevestigen of niet. Een groter verschil kan men haast niet indenken, ik kom uit een traditioneel gezin met een grote familie, bij Sophia wist men amper dat ze bestond - het gaat dus over sociaal zichtbaar te zijn en niet over het geaccepteerd worden, op voorwaarde dat je je met de groep associeert. Mensen, met wie je een connectie WILT hebben, mogen meer dan mensen, waar je niet koud of warm van wordt en dat is nu juist het probleem van die commune-like gezinnen, waar je eerder een rol toebedeeld krijgt in plaats van je eigen plek. Ik vind dit, eerlijk gezegd, erger dan al die toestanden op sociale media, want uiteindelijk beslis je zelf of je met de biologische bubbel breekt of er nog energie in steekt. Ik ben eerlijk over het feit dat ik geen enkel voorbeeld heb, ik was tevreden met de achtergrond, die ik had, tot de mensen, die me kenden begonnen mee te doen met een hetze tegen mij, die heel persoonlijk bedoeld was. Elke poging, die ik ondernam om het bij wijze van spreken 'in de groep te gooien' ketste op zoveel tegenstand, dat ik op dit moment liever alleen ben, wat niet eens een overbodige luxe is ten tijde van corona. Het gaat niet een beetje verkeerd, maar het draait gigantisch in de mangel omdat alles gebaseerd is op de voorgevel en niet wat er zich achter gesloten deuren afspeelt. Zelfs het definiëren van de problemen loopt als een mank paard - tegenwoordig heb je geen mening meer, maar gelijk een op feiten gebaseerd oordeel en in die valkuil wilde ik dus niet stappen. Ik spreek over een autistische verwerking en niet over autisme als in een soort van ontwikkelingsstoornis - als we wat vaker tevreden zouden zijn met dat, wat we hebben en niet altijd afgunstig keken naar dat, wat er in het bordje van een ander ligt, zouden we een pak gelukkiger zijn dan nu. Ooit heb ik een kortfilm gezien met als onderwerp - iedereen z'n eigen probleem - je kon ze 'kopen' en dat is toch wel verontrustend, want ben je normaal of doorsnee, dan heb je geen recht op meer - alleen tekorten worden nog bijgevuld. Ik stond op een T-splitsing toen mijn leven letterlijk in gevaar was, maar vermits ik toen niet de vertrouwde stappen zette, maakt men er nu een mentale ziekte van, het probleem volgt je gewoonweg als een schaduw. Authenticiteit staat bovenaan mijn lijstje, maar die groep van mensen wordt steeds kleiner - het gaat allang niet meer over wie je bent, maar in welke rol je je verdiept hebt. En toch liggen de oplossingen voor het oprapen - we zijn allemaal autonome cellen van het oudste organisme op aarde en daardoor is diversiteit normaler dan uniformiteit. Kortom, I'm done with it, ik help als ik kan helpen en ben dankbaar voor hulp, als die me daadwerkelijk verder helpt, de mensen zoeken het verder zelf maar uit ...

3:37 everyone pulling down the notification bar to see why it didn’t pop up on the screen

Spencer literally has no idea what Aspergers is, does he?! 🙄

Damn

Oli‘s father Daley is quite a good looking guy, no wonder his the father to so many kids (I bet that life of a handsome rich sperm donor.)

1:35 - she asked for rob lowe. That's not rob lowe. Maybe Donnie Osmond after 50 burgers.

He remind me of a young Elton John 😍😍

Imagine a world where this is common 🤦🤦

so daley is kinda like an italian stallion 😂😂

Just watched this

I personally think some of the siblings could of been a little nicer to oli I know how it feels to feel like I'm just in the background to feel seen through etc and I don't have aspergers I can show compassion for him, also I think he may feel left out that majority where from America and live a different life style I feel like British people also have a different sense of humour often mistaken for being blunt or rude x

Just watched the whole documentary, and I’m so upset with Oli’s half-siblings! Do they not know what Aspergers is?? They need to educate themselves. How is a person who cannot comprehend social cues the same way, cater to them? Was so frustrating them being so ignorant of his condition!

This was an interesting watch. Americans are very different to us. Some of them mature very quickly. I like that the group was female centric which meant that casual sexism would not be tolerated. The father figure also had the girl's backs which is so rare in a male led family. The programme made it look as if they shunned Oli but apart from Spencer who I felt was really terrible (you don't stand people up, pretend you're sick etc.) I felt they were very lenient. I get that the programme was trying to push the "they don't get aspergers" narrative but this was not an Aspergers issue for the most part. Please remember that this programme is heavily edited. Oli is a kid. He is purposely making himself an outcast and playing the rebel. He's reading the satanic bible (which basically advocates rape) to be edgy, he's employing casual sexism and God knows what else he has said that we don't know about. He is invested in the role of being an outsider. This has nothing to do with Aspergers. The first time he said those things fine you can say it's the Asperger's. Once someone you exclaim to care about and want a relationship with says that your words hurt them then you stop. You don't argue that sexism is part of your personality. You don't pretend that Asperger's is the cause of it. You don't need to feel the pain the other person feels or understand it to just stop using it. The problem is that he is tying being a d1ck to his Asperger's. That is his age. He's still a kid. They all are but he has a lot of growing up to do. Girls and women don't owe sexist guys friendliness, warmth or open arms. Oli doesn't want to compromise. Instead of listening he wants to debate (his intention argument was also very unaware). I'm a woman I deal with this frustration often. I'm also mixed race. I have to deal with the same thing regarding race too. It's hard in a group dynamic for most people esp only children. I find it very hard too and I don't have aspergers. So I do get it and I do think there is a silent mob mentality that they will overcome once they all have children. Americans are very serious people compared to Brits and have a stronger tendency to ostracise. Again though no girl in that family owes him anything if he wants to continue with his casual sexism and excuse it with "it's my personality". He is still in rebellious teen mode. I think they can see that.

I wasn't expecting this to be so emotional. Oil is a very brave guy. I see how the language that is so common and trendy in the UK can come across so strong and abusive in other cultures. It is a shame he was shut down and told to be quiet and treated as if he was being disrespectful when he was just being himself. Walking hand in hand with a boyfriend in many countries he would be seen as being disrespectful. It's a shame that he's being asked to conform to the majority. Oli continue to be you and don't let such comments hold you back in life. If your siblings could for a second understand what hold backs you have they would seriously think twice trying to hold you back further. It's extremely clear you are a very kind, genuine guy. You're biological Father was wrong speak to you the way he did, perhaps it's a blessing in disguise he didn't raise you as you would be half the person today that you truly are.

They all have beautiful LIPS so strange I mean in a nice way ofcourse

Anybody else seriously annoyed by how little empathy or understanding this kid is receiving from almost all the siblings and the father. They are constantly trying to get him to change his aspergers. Don’t they think that he would have done that already if it were possible? And the insinuation that people with disabilities should be kept out of the gene pool is down right offensive! Yes he should disclose it the same way he would if he met someone that wanted to have children with him the more conventional way but don’t write him off ffs! Don’t worry Oli. It’s not you, it’s them. The most exceptional people in life are often misunderstood.

Nobody wants aspie baby batter and that shouldn't be a hot take.

Second

I think it would be horrifying if a “donor baby” and their significant other found out that they’re siblings 😬

first

Watched the whole film and I am really cross with Sterling. If I had a partner with Aspergers and he couldn’t have children I would want a donor with Aspergers so that some of those traits would come through and the child would be a bit like the dad. Sterling not knowing why that would hurt means that he is not a nice person. Also a lot of the differences are actually UK / USA differences. Everyone being so odd about the word bi....ch. any Brit would find that odd! I don’t know if it is all Americans but I didn’t like their response to Aspergers at all.

Oli was fighting a losing battle here. I could tell at the meetup stage that some had just written him off because of his language. Could you imagine if they had been from the UK instead? They would've been like "yeah what a b*tch."

Not asbergers. Stop taking attention away from real asbergers people.

According to BBC3 all Britons are gay, black and Muslim, preferably all at same time
