This looks really neat. I heard about it on YDF and I know there are several here that have a close connection to Aspergers so I wanted to pass it aong.

Thank you so much for the info!! My daughter is being watched by a dev. ped for AS. Will read up on this movie. Can't wait to see it!

Looks great! I'll have to see if before DS does...he gets pretty sensitive about being "different."

Of course, people with Asperger's have been "stock characters" in movies for ages....they just had a different label...like "Absentminded Professor." If you watch "Awakenings" (the movie about the doctor who treats the guys in the mental hospital with a new drug that "awakens" them briefly), the doctor character is definitely an Aspie.

I'll look forward to it. Thanks for the info. It will be nice to see a person on the spectrum in a positive light.
