Napoleon exhibits Aspie traits, do you agree?

I wonder if the real actor is like that, or if he was just trying to act "weird?"

Napoleon AND Deb both share Aspie traits. Same goes for Pedro.

Therefore, the friend circle is Aspie (in that movie)

I haven't seen the movie, so I looked up some reviews.

In the South Park episode "Trapped in the Closet", Stan assesses Tom Cruise's acting skills by saying "I mean, you're not Gene Hackman or that guy who played Napoleon Dynamite, but you're okay."

I'd have to agree on that one. He has a deficit in social skills that's about as big as the average aspie, the sports skills (aka tetherball) of an average aspie, he plays alone most of the time, plus he doesn't have many friends (not saying that all aspies don't have lots of friends; it's just that on average aspies tend to not have as many friends as some people because most like to have a smaller circle of friends). It's a funny movie for the parts that I've seen, although I've heard lots of people say it's a stupid movie. It seems to be one of those movies where someone thinks it's either hilariously funny, or extraordinarily stupid. Anyways, I agree that he displays some aspie traits.

I didn't watch it because I figured if my brothers like it it must be pretty stupid.

Aspie or not, isnt it ironic that society fell in love with them on screen but if they existed in real life, they'd just get bullied, again? God people are ignorant :wink:
