Post a clip of a TV character displaying an aspie trait
I'll start with a clip of Sheldon Cooper from BBT. I know people on here have mentioned more shows with aspie characters, but I haven't really heard of them and I don't watch them.
In this clip Sheldon, as usual, doesn't get sarcasm takes what she says literally when Penny is locked out of her apartment and has to wait for the locksmith to come (you can skip ahead to 2:06): ignore the subtitles.

Mozart in Amadeus displayed some aspie traits throughout the movie.
Skip to 1:21 where he enters. Mozart acts rather inappropriate for being in a royal palace throughout the whole clip.
At 2:14 he walks off with a clumsy start.
Then at 3:01 he gets on his knees and kisses the emperor's hand, very weird. He has an awkward laugh.
4:20, when Mozart talks about making a variation of one of Salieri's pieces, he is rude to him without knowing it (funny little tune, but it yielded some good things.) Then he talks about his opera being set in a harem witch was a very taboo thing to discuss in those days and at first doesn't understand their suprise.
7:38, not a very common aspie trait but he displays savant skill by remembering Salieri's march music in one listening and then begins to play it. Then he is rude once again without meaning to be, by saying Salieri's march "doesn't really work" and then begins to revise it on the spot, therefore insulting the man. Great clip if I do say so.

Also at the very beginning of this clip. He barges into his house with a bunch of people and notices others in the room, but doesn't notice the seriousness on their face. He begins introducing everyone including a bunch of giggling girls to his wife while she is sitting there looking rather shocked at first. When she finally gets his attention, she tells him about the visitors from Salzburg in a kind of "you need to hear this" tone of voice. But he just laughs and mentions how he was just talking about Salzburg. Then she tells him his father died.
I saw Amadeus in the movies when it first came out in 1984. Since then I've seen countless other films, foreign and domestic, animated and live action. To this day Amadeus still sits with me as the very best film every made.

Absolutely! All time favorite of mine.

Yeah I think so lol, the way I look at it is if you've ever seen the movie Salieri takes his music very seriously and he composed that march specifically for Mozart. but Salieri is a royal court composer and was insulted when Mozart pretty much upstaged him and made him look like a dunce for writing such a simple piece of music in front of the rest of the royal committee and the Emperor at that. Constructive criticism, sure. But the way he offered it and the time he offered it was rather inappropriate.
Think of it this way, you wrote a piece of music/drew something/did something you really love and showed it off to people of higher athourity, and you were proud of yourself, but then someone else comes along and right in front of everyone says it looks or sounds funny then makes your work ten times better right on the spot and goes "There you go! Better, huh?" You'd be offended or hurt at least. I know I would.

it was his own aunt who he was giving the eulogy for and he failed to say anything other than medical facts as if he was giving a lecture to a medical class. it was not appropriate because the mourners were expecting to hear stories about her life and his fond memories of her. he showed no grief and also indirectly insulted the mourners by pointing out that many of them were obese.
without seeing his character in the tv series, one may not recognize this clip to be asperger-like.
of all characters who people may suspect have AS, my personality is most similar to him
here are a few more clips

1:30-1:40 is like me. My ability to detect sarcasm almost non existent, but I think the woman may have been sarcastic, am I right? If she was, then he obviously didn't catch it and took it seriously (typical aspie trait, which I share with him), if not, he reacted the same way I would have (indifferent)
i do not know the definition of sarcasm to the degree that i am able to discern subtle sarcasm. it seems to me that she was not serious when she claimed such an unlikely set of events may ensue from her request for her husband to mind her child, but she had no smile on her face so i can not be sure. the point to me was that she described in a way that she felt was plausible, an unlikely outcome that the doctor accepted without auxiliary contemplation.
I'll just post this here.

Lol, even the comments are going on about it.

Blues Brothers, not the most creative however I know I talk just like this when I drive, wear sunglasses when they should not be needed (sensory issue) and often forget simple yet important things too, also the best movie ever. I'm aware Dan Akroyd is a real life aspie too. Enjoy.
