I don'like much Forrest Gump, and I found Hoffman as Raymond more of a stereotype than a living creature. The piece and the story here anyway are nice, and with some sort of happy ending which would not be possible in other countries, more tough in job performance.

Stuff happened. Then Hans Asperger was born. He did research. He died.

That was a nice article. It doesn't mention that he started his own family, which is kind of a shame, but it sounds like he was beloved by many and enjoyed life.

YES! I just learned about Aspergers on Friday and I was watching the marathon and I think she does have it.
