Defendor the autistic superhero?

Post Reply New Topic

In the film, Woody Harrelson plays a man who sets out to fight the war on drugs singlehandedly in full superhero regalia. After numerous run-ins with the law, he's forced to see a counselor regarding his mental health per court order. I believe the doc's verdict was that he was HFA along with a slew of other diagnoses. Anyone seen this film and care to comment?

Saw it and I didn't once think that he could be but idk maybe.

Yeah, watching it it never occurred to me either but I'm fairly certain the asian doctor lady concluded he was possible HFA or AS. I don't remember for sure because its been awhile and it was a laundry list of acronyms in her verdict. In retrospect, I do see some traits of his that are familiar... his lack of close friends, obliviousness to serious pain/injury, strong sense of right and wrong and unwillingness to see the "grey" areas... I don't know, the movie was okay. It made me laugh a few times.
