First off, I found the two leads to be the best of the bunch. I thought it was exagerated. I thought the other people in the group were Very over the top! They seemed severe.
Maybe I'm just cynical today I don't know. I was just very disapointed.
Sometimes I get upset when hollywood gets thing wrong.
It is impossible to represent one whole dis. which varies in severity-in one person,if it was mild,people who have it moderately or severely would complain.
It can be severe so in a way it will be representing those with at least moderate AS,as there were two diagnosed aspies at the last res.home am lived in,both were classed as 'severe' and lower functioning.
