Martian Child <3 i haven't seen it yet, but i definately want to. my sister and mom saw it, though, and told me i would relate to that kid. i've been wanting to see it since i saw the first previews.

also, a little off topic, but there are anime characters i relate well to because they seem to be on the spectrum.. like Koushirou (Izzy) from Digimon.

Better Off Dead and Real Genius feature a number of eccentric characters.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, for the one character that every Aspie knows is in the spectrum.

But in Dumb and Dumber thier stupidity was on a super heroic level. They were super stupid. Till it became a way to face a difficult world and beat it armed with thier superior stupidity.

Plus in the end it had a "bros before hos " feel to it. That friendship is most important. I liked that.

They didnt know how dumb they were and didnt see the unusualness of others as something to avoid.

I just love the movie because its the only time I ever laughed so hard in the theatre that I threw up.

I guess Pee Wees Big Adventure is one as well.

Particularly, Seymour strikes me as the type. Intense narrow interest in old records. Socially clueless; in his own words, "I cant' relate to 99% of humanity." Plus he has a rather bizarre (but cool) friendship with a girl somewhere in the neighborhood of half his age.

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=BQTBh18oK6E[/youtube]Ghost World and the Wrong Planet are definitely co-terminus; think about it.

Good fortune,

Revenge of the Nerds. :lol:

(Actually, that movie made me proud of being a nerd long before I had even heard of Asperger's)

And this isn't a very good example of Aspieness, I hope NT's don't make a link, but the main character in Perfume. I know, the Aspie as psycho-killer is a terrible example, but I think his homocidal tendancies are as much a result of his environment. Have a look at Perfume and tell me if you think he's an Aspie or not?

Wow Bo Peep, You remind me of someone else I know. This person and his wife loves Donnie Darko, and I think this person even started a thread somewhere about Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.

You are pretty cool Little Bo Peep! We should talk sometime.

Being There - absolutely brilliant portrayal of Aspie wisdom, a must-see

Martian Child - one totally Aspie kid

August Rush - another genuis-child movie

AI - ok, David is an android, but surely he's modelled on an aspie!

A Beautiful Mind - about a real life genius

In the movie Stranger Than Fiction that came out earlier this year, I'm pretty sure the main character had AS.

You mean the guy who turned up at the girl's house with a box of different types of FLOURS? (Because she was a baker and he though she'd like these better than FLOWERS! :roll:

)

Or do you mean the writer? She was a bit out of it.
