I get that... and you're entitled to not caring the slightest.

... just like I'm entitled to being curious about why I do relate to the main character in each of these series... whereas you don't!

For example, this is completely me (especially when I'm in a bad place emotionally) :


ok i watched the clip.
i do agree that it's premise is congruent with my opinion.
almost every human action is fake it is true.
almost everyone fools others but i am never fooled.

but....there is a but............

I thought "The Young and Prodigious T S Spivet" was a great portrayal of a young aspie. I certainly related to it.
"Malcolm" is a great movie - with the lead as an aspie, but as he goes down the criminal path might not be good for your purpose.

I've done film analyses on the movie "Adam" and OC87 for sociology courses. OC87 is streaming on Netflix right now and is a good documentary about a man suffering from Asperger's and OCD. Adam is a interesting movie... kinda sad, but is a decent portrayal compared to most Hollywood movies. Of course there is the movie about Temple, which is great. However, not everybody can be as successful as her.
