Aspie Movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I've seen Ghost World as I just bought it for my sister for her birthday. Fantastic film. Amelie was good too, though a little saccharine at times. I'm also a fan of the Serial Experiments Lain anime; I had an avatar of Lain a while back.

One film that nobody has mentioned though is Donnie Darko, it's a great film and I highly recommend it. The main character is suspected to be schizoprenic in the film but as we all know schizophrenia shares many characteristics with AS. It's really hard to get hold of the original film though, which is by far the superior version over the director's cut that's recently been released. I just got my copy off ebay.

I never really thought of that as an aspie movie, and really still don't. He was simply a very capable spy who knew a few things about telephones. If anything, being able to predict the actions of someone you don't know is a pretty non-aspie thing to do, and he was very good at it. BTW, the novel ("Six Days of the Condor") was better.

The title character in Elling is definitely aspie. Finn in The Station Agent too

Forrest Gump? I think he might be a kind of Aspie?

some that weren't mentioned

John Cusaks character in Being John Malkovich has AS traits...
Also both the sons in The Squid And The Whale...
Dean in The Chumbscrubber

this is a good movies thats about the life of an Aspie
it called Ben X not "ben 10"
im pretty sure its a foregin movie but you should be able to find a english copy as thats how i watch it it quite raw in the tell of it and it touches most people or should do id advise most persent famliy members to watch it as i why to understand how we sometimes feel in some places and thing we do
