Well the movie isn't about autism/asperger's but Billy has Asperger's and the movie is about him.

I could marry a guy like Billy. That is the way we all should think about the world. Conserve the environment, No war or violence Prepare for a better future. My heart desires all these things. This world does not run like that unfortunately it is very heart breaking. :cry:

And I'd quite like to have a threesome with you and Scarlett Johansson. It ain't going to happen.

The way I look at it is that we're all doomed. Try and pick your way through life as best you can. :)

Well, Ias kind pushed in highschool to smoke. I probably smoked a total of 1/3rd cigarette in my life. I HATE smoking.(by me or anyone). When I was a kid, an uncle gave me creme de menthe a lot, when I was at his place. Outside of that, I drink maybe a beer a year to fit in. I'm certainly no alcoholic. Other than that, by expressed ideas and stated experiences anyway, I'm like billy in those respects.

I wish his eyes didn't move so much, etc... Still, even if he is LFA, it may very well improve the general impression of autism.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply he was LFA, only that even if he WAS then it would improve the impression. I liked the little mannerisms too, but STILL they seem, excuse the expression, odd. They make you wonder if he is AS. AGAIN, I am not implying or even inferring anything. Anyway, I think I'll keep a lookout for it. It might be interesting.

having "wild eyes" is actually pretty common with people (both aspies and NTs) who aren't used to being on Camera.
