I can relate quite strongly to the Jason Bourne character (played by Matt Damon).

He wakes up with amnesia one day and realises that he is very, very different.

Heck, he even talks like an Aspie sometimes;

'I just ran for 2 miles at an altitude of one mile and I'm not even out of breath'......


He spends the first movie figuring out who he is..

I am very newly discovered so this is a character that I can relate to quite strongly.

Anyone else relate to this?


I love the movies :D

I don't particularly relate to him, however I love the Bourne movies. :)

This is quite funny.

I set up this thread and poll really as a blurt. The movie came into my head and a few minutes later, its on WP. (another thread in there somewhere)

This thread is going down in flames :bom:

UH OH

Only one post and I am the only person who seems to have voted YES. :lol:

UH OH

Even Asperger's can't get in the way of me seeing that I am in a very small minority here. :lol:

I wonder if I might have succeeded in doing something weird, even by Asperger standards :geek:

UH OH


I cant even delete the thread or I surely would.


UH OH :help:

I remember reading something in the New Yorker magazine some time ago about spies. The article was about the appeal spies have in entertainment. The author hypothesized that this was due to spies having to to try to blend in with the their surroundings and be something that they know they are not. As a possible aspie I can definitely relate to that - and I enjoyed the Bourne trilogy and found a little solace in the loneliness of the movie.
