Aspie characters in books/films/tv

Post Reply New Topic

John Elder Robison is the author. I read a couple of chapters when I was in Barnes and Noble a month or so ago, and I liked what I read (but I'm going to look for it in the library). The introduction is by his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, whose memoirs Running With Scissors was made into a movie. The varied life that Robison has led will, imho, make this book a good addition to books on Aspies, as a counterexample to some of the books that render people with spectrum disorders a two dimensional.

Well, there is this manga known as With the Light about a mother raising an autistic son Hikaru who has moderate autism, Miyu who also has autism to the same degree as Hikaru, Tomoyo, who is a bright kid with Asperger's, this other kid in Hikaru's special ed class who transferred who definitely had both ADHD and Asperger's, then there was a kid named Tsubasa who was dyslexic.

Oh, I definitely want films with various types of Aspie characters to say that the characters were Aspie.
No, I don't.

Etc.

yes, not many good looking aspie girls in the movies. Except Lysbeth Salander.

Is it good? I really want to read the manga, but I'm not sure if the portrayal is accurate. Oh, and what's it's age rating? I'm not allowed to read anything for people over thirteen.

And I want to see aspie characters like Debra Schiman:

It is not just the way they look, but also the way they sound, their facial expressions and their body languages.

Well Batman or Bruce Wayne never showed any signs of autism or Aspergers. He would most likey would have PTSD after witnessing the murder of his Parents. Erik*Phantom of the opera's real name in the book* Would also have PTSD after the constent abuse he would've recived. He also was a Sycopatch as well. But he could've have suffered with Autism. With his in-depth knowlge of music, art, achrtecture, and magic. It could be possible.

On NCIS, they aired an episode called "Cracked", where Abby gets obsessed with a certain victim who has a resemblance to her (she's also a genius scientist, and she wrote cchemical formulas all over her body and stuff), and this episode hinted at Abby possibly having "issues", more specifically Asperger's or some form of HFA.



As much as I'm her fan, I just thought she was quirky and eccentric. But now, after seeing the episode, I started analyzing the character and found that she may fit the criteria of AS in women. I don't know what others may think about this, but if they thread carefully and do proper research, we could have a loveable and interesting portrayal of a woman with AS on TV.

I kind of like that about his fictions, as it is boring to read about someone normal.

Star Trek Next Generation/Voyager Charecter: Reg Barclay may be on the spectrum.

Dr. Temperance Brennan and Dr. Zach Addy from Bones have both been confirmed by the show's creator to be based on people with AS, but they said that they are not going to come out and say it. Ever since my diagnosis, the show Bones has helped my wife and I connect on AS, as I'm a lot like Bones.

I've wondered if Jeffery Deaver's character Lincoln Rhyme has AS, also Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Gregory House. All three men show an astounding intellect and the ability to connect facts in unorthodox ways as well as social difficulties.
