What are some good aspies movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I've seen Rain Man and Mozart and the Whale. Any other good ones?

I liked The Accountant, but there wasn't a whole lot of stuff about autism in it.

Recently I saw the movie Adam.

I had moments of recognition in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "The Big Short"

"Mary and Max."

It took me a while to see this one because it's animated and, for a long time, I eschewed animated films for the real deal. Still, I did see it during my "watch everything autistic" phase which included other flicks like "Adam", "Snow Cake", "Marathon", and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close."

"Mary and Max" is as straightforward as they come. In it, Max explains to Mary, in great detail, what Asperger's is and how it affects his life. I think it's worth seeing since there aren't very many fiction films on the subjects of Asperger's and autism.

any batman movie involving the The Riddler. He has autism and is narcissistic or has obsessive compulsive pd (im not sure, but both is also an option)

if stating a series will suffice, Gotham has The Riddler's apperance in it frequently, the series, gotham revolves around Classic batman characters before they become who they are, like Batman Catwoman The Riddler Penquin Commisiooner Gordon Twoface and Joker

I think Jane Wants A Boyfriend has a really good storyline between the two sisters - one is autistic and the other is NT.

A lot of movies and shows have characters that aren't explicitly stated to be on the spectrum, but it's pretty obvious that they are. Like Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory, for example. For movies where the character is actually stated to be autistic, off the top of my head I can think of Please Stand By, Temple Grandin, and A Brilliant Young Mind. For movies that are just relatable to me as an autistic person, definitely X Men (if you like action/superhero movies that is). Stranger Things' Eleven could be seen as autistic, too.

How about Mr Robot series?

I liked Atypical on netflix and I liked the Good Doctor too, although he became a bit irritating at the end.
Ben X was very touching, Adam too.

Are there any movies about a female aspie?

I really liked the temple grandin movie. I highly recommend to watch it!

@CannibalCorpse: This is a movie about a female aspie

I also enjoyed the Temple Grandin movie. I would add The Remains of the Day, as well.

The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch about the life story of Alan Turing. I bet you dollars to donuts that Turing was a highly exceptional Aspie though he was never officially diagnosed. I believe I have heard that his measured IQ was in the neighbourhood of 180-200 which is incredible.

And A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe. Once again there is strong evidence that the famous mathematician John Nash who authored his Game Theory for the Nobel Prize was actually Autistic with Asperger's Syndrome and was misdiagnosed as being paranoid schizophrenic.

The debate continues...
