Arthur Aspie episode

There was an episode of Arthur (cartoon, PBS) that featured a character officially with Asperger's. The 15min long episode, titled "When Carl Met George" can be seen from the links below (via YouTube):

I liked how George was portrayed as different, not with a disability.

I just watched this, and thought it was presented very well. I am going to see if I can get a copy for my daughter's school to show her class, I think it would help them to understand her better. She is in second grade, so I think that the way it is presented would work better than an adult just trying to explain it to them.
I've seen clips of that episode, but not the whole thing. Thanks for the links!
I, too, was very impressed with the way AS was presented.
