Hello,

The episode was done in February of 1963, but the main character, Charlie Parkes, seems to fit the bill for AS: doesn't fit in in a working environment, socially withdrawn, doesn't emotionally reciprocate, difficulty expressing emotions, lack of romantic relationships. I thought to recommend it to my fellow Aspies on board.

Is that the one where the guy gets obsessed with the diorama at the museum? The one that shows the 19th century scene?

I remember that episode quite well. Not sure if he's AS, but still an interesting episode. A somewhat different character than Robert Duval played later in his career.

Twilight Zone is ALWAYS a good recommendation.
