| Film or TV are visual mediums and showing what is going on inside a character is difficult. They could cut to a person stimming in thier own room or collapsing when they get home but most viewers would probably not understand what they are seeing. How do you show a person spending hours persuing a ... |

| I was just thinking this the other day. There's good movies that have Aspie characters, but they're usually comedies. I would love to see an existential piece that maybe uses a hint of surrealism to convey what an Aspie might feel or what we would be thinking in a given situation. To make a good mo... |

| Could somebody suggest good TV shows of last 5-10 years without nudity, like House, Boardwalk Empire or Oz? I tried to watch Breaking Bad and Dexter, but got bored of those two after several episodes. How on God's earth could you get bored of Breaking Bad?! Dexter I can understand but Breaking Bad?... |

| What is it about Margot Robbie that is SO SO SO attractive, magnetic and just 'WOW'! !?? She is definitely one of the most stunning women ever to be shown on film but there's so much more. Down-to-earth, almost a little shy, professional...could this be the perfect woman? 8O Every time I see or hear... |

| There are a wealth of characters on TV shows and films who have Asperger's but in my opinion they only seem to be the majorly eccentric type. I have never actually seen a character who appears normal on the outside but is only wearing a mask to conceal their condition. Just curious to know if people... |

| As a male with Asperger's, I knew very early on that acting and pretending to be confident in various areas of life would help big time. Just like my father, I am an excellent actor and to be honest, it has worked greatly for me. I knew a lot of 'players', (guys who got lots of girls) growing up, so... |

| Hi all, I'm a 30 yr old Aspie here. To cut a long story short, I had suffered increasing levels of social phobia and extreme anxiety in my teens but wasn't actually diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome until I was 24. My life took a huge downward turn owing to this. I am academically very success... |
