This is a new film about the 2 founders of Facebook (Mainly Mark Zuckerberg who is a famous Aspie)... Yes when I first about that I thought the film would be terrible but after seeing the Trailer I was shocked at how amazing it looks and also shocked and some of the talent in the film (some really great actors in it) Anyways here is the Trailer

I actually think I may see it in Theaters! It really looks that good to me! Usually with this kind of film I wait for DVD but I really think this looks great!

Also if anybody wants to see the Choir Cover of Creep by Raidohead used in the trailer (which was amazing) here it is

I am pretty sure he has confirmed he has Aspergers (albiet mild). Also watch him in interviews as that also is pretty obvious.

A geeky computer nerd is likely to have autistic qualities.

There were many aspie traits that surfaced in the performance-his direct aloof attitude-speaking style-his distractability and disconnecting in a room full of people-his constant working while others seemed to have a constant party around him-etc etc-his sometime emotional detachment when things were happening-seemed to have a lot of aspie traits.

I feel terrible now . . . an autistic being responsible for the creation of social networking. Didn't see that coming, and I hate social networking :oops: .

ok im not mad but really if he has not had the diagnosis then he isnt officially autistic, so please stop saying he is, because you are not a doctor so stop giving snap judgments that are most likely wrong to random people, you are just wasting your time

I saw the movie and he did seem kind of Aspy in the opening scene with the girl, but not after that.

You shouldnt feel bad...everyone knows that social networking is contributing to all things wrong with the world. :P

So apparently an aspie is the founder of all evil! :evil:

True.
NT can also be rude and smart.
