lifetime movie portrayal of aspergers in all films

Post Reply New Topic

i notice in every lifetime movie ever made every charachter can be easily diagnosed with aspergers. like a naive young girl who gets seduced by an obviously sociopathic boy who has the aspergers face! they bith have aspergers in this instace. just sum food fot ought!! !

I know (and love) the type of movies you are talking about...but I don't think either the guy or girl has aspergers. In the movie Fear with Mark Whelberg and Reese Witherspoon for example...Whelberg has that crazy face, but he is very manipulative, cold and calculating and downright psychotic. Reese is just young and thinks he's hot and is blinded by his physique.

There was one of those movies on a few months ago where a girl meets a "hot guy" on an internet dating site and she's 17 and a senior in high school...it turns out he's in jail and going on a computer there to talk to her and when he gets out he meets her and pretends to be the perfect guy...and eventually she finds out and doesn't care and still loves him. I think it has more to do with 1.)The guy being very socially smart/manipulative and 2.)The girl just liking the guy because he's hot and dangerous.

Chalk it up to poorly-written scripts, mediocre directing, and indifferent acting.

Most Lifetime movies have some type of "the man did something bad" theme.

Occasionally there's a "the woman did something bad" theme though.
