| I liked "A Spot of Bother" too. Also I agree that The Curious Incident isn't exactly a good source for saying "this is what autism is", but it does a decent job of showing an autistic character, at least in my opinion. |

| I know I related to the parts about Christopher not knowing what was socially acceptable/ appropriate, and not being able to "read between the lines". I think some people objected to the way he was portrayed emotionally. The monotone voice sometimes made it seem like he didn't feel much, which is al... |

| I went, without a date, and it was ok. Everyone was obsessed with dates, to the point that one friend of mine went with a guy she hated, just so she wouldn't have to be alone. I would rather be dateless than do that! But prom was pretty boring so it wasn't really worth the money and effort... |

| Anyone read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon? The main character is a 15 year old boy with Asperger's. I know there's some pretty mixed reviews of it from aspies. Some people thought it was spot on, and others were offended. I think I fall somewhere in the middle. Thou... |

Thanks so much for the help!!
I have a lot to consider now.
(p.s. In reference to the gay jokes, I almost titled my original post "coming out as an aspie" because that's what it feels like!  ) |

| Thanks for all the recommendations! I know I didn't give anyone much to go on. (Also, I watched Attack on Titan because someone in my Japanese class recommended it, because it's relatively short.) I'll be honest, I don't really know what specific genre I'm looking for. I forgot to mention, I've also... |

| I've just started watching anime, so far I've watched My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and most of Attack on Titan. Anyone have any recommendations for any series/movies? |

| Does anyone have any advice on how to tell your family members, parents especially, that you have an ASD? I'm 18, and I only just learned that I have Aspergers. It makes perfect sense to me, but I'm anticipating some denial from my parents. As a child, my social problems were explained by me being "... |

| I went, and it was neither great nor awful. Definitely isn't worth the hype; you won't be missing much. |

| Hi, I'm Abby. I'm 18 and though I'm still undiagnosed, I recently discovered that I have Aspergers. Knowing is a relief, but I'm having a bit of a rough time in my first semester of college and would love to find someone to talk to! Some of my interests are reading, cooking, baking, and foreign lang... |
