Directed by Ali Dwas Venture through Dani Bowman's personal life as person with autism and how her animation company DaniMation Entertainment came to be.
Your aunt and uncle are exactly what I needed when I was a kid. Autism is not easy and you are so lucky to have the support system you do because it makes all the difference in your quality of life when you have autism. You’re awesome Dani
Agreed. Sort of messed up that we had to dig online to find this side of Dani. On the nshow, she comes across as very narcisistic where nobody bothers educating her on reality very much. The show depicts her aunt and uncle let letting her run amock and treating peoepl like garbage.
08:38 And if she's outgoing and loves to socialize then why wasn't this her personality on the show insted of the OCD about someone needing to own their own animation company all the damned time > "he';s not good enough because he isn't an animation executive ... Next !!" - that was her tone the entire show.
Dani you are an inspiration to all autistic women ❤ Your aunt and uncle are beautiful human beings for supporting you throughout and beyond your childhood!
Wow, Dani is so extremely talented and focus driven on her love for animation. She is so lucky to have such a loving and encouraging aunt and uncle to help make her dreams come true and guide her with love and positivity. I hope nothing but the best for Dani and the rest of the cast of Love On The Spectrum. Dani is a real inspiration to all, that if you have a passion or a dream they can become a reality with hard work, staying focused and not getting discouraged when life gives you twists and turns. She shows us you can do anything you want when you’re positive and driven. I can’t wait to see her in the near future standing with an Oscar at the podium at the Academy Awards for winning best animation.
This is an amazing look into Dani Bowman's life. Dani, idk you personally, but you're an inspiring and wonderful person. I hope we get to see you in the third season of LOTS, your journey is so relatable to me. I spent years masking my neurodivergence but now I embrace it and I look for someone who can understand and relate to my sensitive perception of the world. Also your style is AMAZING
Wow you are such an inspiration Dani and your auntie and uncle are also awesome! I’m a father of a 5yr old ASD girl, and I’m so happy she has a role model like you. You’re doing great things and will continue doing even greater things in the future :)
Oh Dani ❤ I watched you in Netflix Love on the Spectrum. Today, this video popped up and I was thrilled that I got to see your passion!! You're wonderfully talented and passionate!!!!
Dani I just started watching you and you are an absolute delight and inspiration to me! I love how you truly express how much you embody an anime character in this world. Much love!!
The comments are so right....... Your aunt and uncle are absolute angels. The cancelling of the name on the book to change it to Dani. They love you. We want to hear more from them, perhaps even write a version of that same book and have your aunt & uncle write it and you animate it? A book, a series, a short movie - whatever! I truly believe that will make such a huge difference in so many people, caregivers, parents, etc’s lives..... You 3 together can change the trajectory of so many!!
I just finished watching the Netflix series and Dani, you are incredible! Such an amazing human being. I’m so grateful for your parents and how they’ve given you the freedom to discover yourself. What a beautiful gift to the world you are! Thank you for signing your light, and gifts for others to enjoy and learn from🙏🏻💕✨
Thank you Dani! I think you are a beautiful person inside and out! I am way over here in Alabama. You have taught me so much already about being honest and true to oneself. I think you’re a talented artist and leader. You are such a positive influence and you’ll never know ow how many people you help. Thank you so much for being brave enough to be yourself! I hope to be more like you one day! ❤❤❤
I’m also on the autism spectrum who loves and is passionate about animation. She seems like a very intelligent, confident and witty young lady. I really like that. Her animations are gorgeous and amazing. I wished for her the absolute best in life and in her career. Keep doing beautiful and amazing things, Dani!!! Whoohoo!!!😊😊 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wow, this is awesome Dani, I am a big fan of your quirk, bravery, and curiosity about many things. and how you manage to live up your dream! Inspirational indeed!
Wow. You are so amazing. So creative and so strong. I don’t have autism but I still related to how she feels with struggling to fit in because of mental illness and other things. You’re very inspiring and I’m so happy you have such a beautiful support system.
Dani, you are such an amazing young woman. I love that you help others to understand how your life is. I also love how amazingly talented and brilliant you are. Keep being you!😊
Humans are naturally inclined to fear what they don’t understand. I’m on the autism spectrum and due to a broken education system, I was wrongly labeled as having an IQ of 80 and told that I would never aspire towards anything greater than bagging groceries (though a noble profession). In reality, tests tailored to my needs showed that my IQ was in the above average to gifted range, though this would unfortunately end up being obscured by a lackadaisical school board. Considering the above, my mother and family had little hope for my future, but my father didn’t, he saw what I was capable of and taught me not to allow myself to be defined by the proverbial standards imposed upon the socially challenged and with his support, I went to university, got into nursing school, graduated with my bachelors degree summa cum laude and recently was accepted into a prestigious doctoral program to become a nurse practitioner, which I start next year. Ultimately, success for those on the spectrum is largely predicated on advocacy and support, something Dani’s aunt and uncle provided her with and as a result, she’s been remarkably successful. Tragically, too many gifted individuals on the spectrum fall through the cracks and never realize their full potential, due to a lack of support, a statistic that Dani’s parents almost made her a part of.
Some people just hear that autism is genetic, and take it personally because it sounds to some people like an insult to their family genes. Fortunately my parents were smart enough to understand that "genetic" doesn't always mean that it runs in the family. It just has to start somewhere. They didn't always deal with my autism very well, but they dealt with it a hell of a lot better than her parents did.
wow! I can relate to feeling devastated when being diagnosed with autism, because I was diagnosed with Asperger' Syndrome at age 14 back in 1998, didn't know what that was. Just heard it was a behavior disorder, but it sounded like some foreign word to me. I thought maybe I had some kind of German disability or something. And then in the spring of 1999, was when I had learned that Asperger's Syndrome was in fact a milder form of autism, I became devastated when I learned that. And I didn't want to be autistic, nor did I want anyone from school to know I was, either. So, I get that part.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know more about Dani’s life. It’s helped me see that people with autism can make it in the world. Where can I actually see some Danimation?
No, it's not vanity at all! Just success, joy and passion. Im sure she wouldn't be criticising you behind your back, she's got integrity too❤ take a leaf outa her book dear
I love her Aunt, she did right by her niece and it’s truly a beautiful thing and shows how much Dani is loved. As far as her parents, who knows? There are always more sides to a story. Nevertheless, Dani is very special and if her parents chose to be removed from her life, it’s their loss. Dani is cool!
Loved this so much!!! Dani’s aunt and uncle are top tier humans who raised an incredible young woman!!
Top tier humans?
Totally agree
It feels like her aunt and uncle gave her consistency. Thats what i think made all the difference for her.
Shes very lucky to have supportive relatives, who gave her the tools to develope her interest.
Such a bright beautiful human, aunt and uncle were extraordinary with raising her to thrive as her best self. Beautiful family and story
Your aunt and uncle are exactly what I needed when I was a kid. Autism is not easy and you are so lucky to have the support system you do because it makes all the difference in your quality of life when you have autism. You’re awesome Dani
I wish they would’ve shown more of your past story on the show but you did an amazing job telling your own story ❤️
Agreed. Sort of messed up that we had to dig online to find this side of Dani. On the nshow, she comes across as very narcisistic where nobody bothers educating her on reality very much. The show depicts her aunt and uncle let letting her run amock and treating peoepl like garbage.

Next !!" - that was her tone the entire show.
Agreed! They painted her out to be very self centered in the show.
Her aunt and uncle seem great and it's good that she's a bit better person than the show depicted her as.
She also comes across as addicted to sex. She herself has about ten sex oriented books in her room.
Dani you are amazing. This was a whole side of you that wasn't shown on the show, and you are such a complex person. Get it girl and keep going!
WOW her animation artwork is incredible
Dani you are an inspiration to all autistic women ❤ Your aunt and uncle are beautiful human beings for supporting you throughout and beyond your childhood!
I'm so glad I watched this because I don't think I really got how amazing Dani is just from watching her on LOTS. I knew she was a boss, but wow.
Wow, Dani is so extremely talented and focus driven on her love for animation. She is so lucky to have such a loving and encouraging aunt and uncle to help make her dreams come true and guide her with love and positivity.

I love how she comes off as her own anime character. Her expression with her hands is beautiful!
Dani is amazing and her Aunt and Uncle are amazing!!!!

And a great actress
I think we should celebrate her Aunt and Uncle for their unconditional love.
She’s beautiful, smart and amazing 🤩
Such a role model ❤
God bless you Aunt Sandy.
I love the photo at 7:59 with Dave Filoni in the background! ❤️
wow! I can relate to feeling devastated when being diagnosed with autism, because I was diagnosed with Asperger' Syndrome at age 14 back in 1998, didn't know what that was.

You’re going to go such a long way Dani! Keep working hard it’ll all pay off :)
Correction: You have come such a long way. Keep living your dream :)
You're awesome Dani!
Incredible parents!
you mean then aunt and uncle who adopted her or the parents who didn't want her?
@@kenmoreSFher parents (the uncle and auntie)
Your Aunt loves you a lot. She’s also lucky to have you in her life. ❤
She’s so talented!!!!
What a beautiful and wonderful Auntie.
God bless you!
I’ve enjoyed getting to know more about Dani’s life. It’s helped me see that people with autism can make it in the world.
Where can I actually see some Danimation?
She has a website with her animations on it
Your amazing ❤❤
She is so lucky to have such a great Aunty and uncle thank godness!
Hope you're character gets an animation series. You are brilliant human from the Uk.
No she’s not. She’s a terrible person. And vain as hell.
No, it's not vanity at all! Just success, joy and passion. Im sure she wouldn't be criticising you behind your back, she's got integrity too❤ take a leaf outa her book dear
Dani is very talented and pretty
Pretty and talented
Interesting perspectives - I may not agree with all of it -but interesting
She should really do voices, she’s really good at it.
Omg I would love to be a voice actor for your company!
I love her Aunt, she did right by her niece and it’s truly a beautiful thing and shows how much Dani is loved. As far as her parents, who knows? There are always more sides to a story. Nevertheless, Dani is very special and if her parents chose to be removed from her life, it’s their loss. Dani is cool!
Was that from "your face" by Bill Plympton?
I worked on a segment for Bill Plympton's "Your Face Global Jam"
Such a cool woman!
I love this girl. Her parents are disgusting to treat her the way they did.
