Ricky Fitts from American Beauty has always struck me as being an aspie. He's misunderstood, been bullied, highly creative, obsessive and has a tendency to see the details over the bigger picture.
I just watched American Beauty again and Ricky certainly seems to have many Aspie like qualities : odd ,weird behavior,a high degree of honesty,social outcast. I loved the character,he was almost the complete opposite of everyone else in the movie.He didn't put on airs or pretend he was something that he wasn't. It is a shame that people like him are often social outcasts. Just because they are different.
