IMDB's list of Asperger movies ! !

Post Reply New Topic

There's a fun movie called "I rymden finns inga känslor".
I am a bit adverse to the English title "Simple Simon" though, original title means "There are no feelings in space".
You can easily find it by googling.

Most of those titles are episodes of tv shows, not movies! But I've seen Rain Main and own the movie on DVD, but I don't have the savant type of autism Dustin Hoffman's character has in the movie that is super intellegent that is gifted with knowing mathematical skills since I kinda sucked at math (the algebra part of math in high school).

There is a really good movie listed there called: "Ben X" about a kid in high school who gets bullied heaps and escapes by playing on-line role playing games. It is filmed from the point of view of the aspie Ben, and quite hard hitting.

It is a foreign language film (belguim) with english subtitles, and well worth watching.

I really liked Stawberry Fields, although not confirmed you can tell the main character and her sister have some form of ASD. cause of the way they act and their mannerism's. pretty good story. its slow moving and enjoy its atmosphere

I would pay top dollar to see the film too and the guy with the glasses knows his martial arts and can kick ass.

Mozart and the Whale is my favorite.

I hoped Revenge of the Aspie was a fun Star Wars spoof wherein Yoda is shown in his youth learning to use the force to compensate for his social deficits. Alas.

...When I looked at that I saw IIRC an episode of a BBC anthology series , lay For Today: , listed … Anyone seen or even know more about
That one ?

Wow, I've only seen 6 of these. My favourite would either be Mary and Max or Punk-Drunk Love (PTA is such a great director!) I wish there would be more movies about autism.

Also, was Community on there? The Big Bang Theory was, but Abed is definitely autistic.

Great list!.

I like Deno's signature, I think is so true.

My vote is for Temple Grandin.

It was never mentioned in the movie but Imitation Game had to have had an aspie as the main character.
