Have any of you seen this movie? (http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1800053966) Keir Dullea plays David, a 17 year old, very intelligent, very neat & orderly, and scared to death of being touched. Even then in 1962, I think David is an obvious aspie. (don't watch the recent remake with Lucas Haas... it's not worth the effort.) If you haven't, rent or buy it, and see what you think. (then post reply here, of course) :D

I saw the 1962 version in high school and it hit so close to home. David has AS.

Hey ed,

We performed David and Lisa as a play at my high school. I played John (the instructor who accidentally touched David). Seems like it was a long time ago now.
