WATCH: Video Lets You Experience What It's Like To Be Autistic

Powerful stuff.

A video has been released to highlight the difficulties people living with autism face every day.

The clip, which was made to coincide with World Autism Day on April 2, shows a little lad walking through a shopping centre with his mum.

However, it becomes increasingly uncomfortable to watch as his surroundings become extremely intensified.

The video, which has been viewed 102,385 times, has been released alongside a report titled Too Much Information.

The caption reads:

I'm not naughty. I'm autistic.,

For autistic people like me, the world can be a terrifying place. Sometimes sounds feel like my head is exploding. Clothes feel like my skin is burning. And when a tiny thing changes, it feels like my world is ending.

Sometimes I get too much information. And if you only see a naughty kid, you haven't got enough. #AutismTMI

According to the NHS, there are more than half a million people with autism in the UK, around 1 in every 100 people.
