Autistic authors write their own love story
ANCASTER COUNTY, Pa - It sounds like the typical boy-meets-girl story: Jerry Newport and Mary Meinel meet, fall in love, marry, and work hard at sustaining their relationship.

Maybe they work a little harder than most married couples.

Both have Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism that makes it difficult to relate emotionally to other people. view article

Jerry and Mary Newport are the couple that Mozart and the Whale is based on.

Still, an interesting article. After reading the article, I can see where the movie and their actual lives diverge.
