A good FICTIONAL depiction of Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

I recently saw an episode of Batman The Animated series called 'Heart of Ice'. The character of Mr Freeze for me seems to be a fantastic fictional symbol of Aspergers.
Though my problem is actually ADHD, I have read several accounts of people who have Aspergers, and their feelings & outlook on life, and most importantly, what isn't revealed about them to the outside world. And a lot of this was paralleled by this character.

As one person put it, this is ''a character whose emotionless evil is a facade that hides a brutal, sympathetic tragedy. The fact that he leaves one of his own henchmen to his fate after his legs are frozen solid is the perfect way to characterize Mr. Freeze as a ruthless, unfeeling monster, and in a lesser show, that would?ve been where it stopped. But as Heart of Ice continues, it becomes clear that Freeze is anything but ? he attempts to deny himself his emotions because he can?t take the pain of them.
This isn?t a man who doesn?t feel. It?s a man who feels too much.''

Watch the episodes ''Heart of Ice'' and ''Deep Freeze'', and see what you think. Hopefully I'm not talking complete nonsense here.

Moderator alert... don't take the troll bait

Besides having a cold facade, he literally takes a mechanical approach to an emotional issue, with the use of machines.

i like batman the animated series, maybe i'll check out the episode you are talking about. however, i can never think of mr. freeze without also thinking of arnold schwarzenegger...

your first post did not seem 'trollish' to me but i can never tell if someone is a troll or not
