If You Could Say it in Words: New Asperger's Movie (Interview)
Posted on Sunday, February 10 @ 10:34:31 EST by
Nicholas Gray’s directorial debut, If you Could Say it in Words, is a feature film about Nelson Hodge, a young African American guy with Asperger’s living in Philidelphia. While there have recently been a plethora of films about individuals with Asperger’s, most have been documentaries, and none have featured a protagonist with Asperger’s who falls into a lower-income socioeconomic class.
Read on to listen to an interview with the director and lead actor. We also have exclusive video clips from the movie.
If you Could Say it in Words, stands out as a unique story of a man who belongs to an economic, racial, and a neurological minority. Due to the culture he grows up in, Nelson is never diagnosed with Asperger’s and the syndrome is never mentioned by name. However, it is clear from Nelson’s behaviors and quirks, that he would have been diagnosed with Asperger’s if he had grown up in a more advantaged family.
Nelson is played by Alvin Keith, who made his big screen debut in the critically acclaimed movie, Kinsey. His romantic interest, Sadie is played by Marin Ireland, an actress who was in The Manchurian Candidate and I am Legend.
I talked with director Nicholas Gray and actor Alvin Keith who visited me at my house in Virginia. We had so much fun talking that our conversation lasted hours. Consequently I will not be transcribing the interview and will instead be including the audio file which you can listen to near the top of this page.
Nicholas has provided us with some trailers of the film which have been embedded into this article for your viewing enjoyment.
I like it. Nelson kind of reminds me of myself, maybe more so my father. I hope it gets released in south Florida, or at least on the internet. Seems like it'd be a good film for all my aspie family to see.

Hey, I wish it would be released in South Florida too. So little in intelligent film making seems to make its way down here.
I haven't watched the movie, but...
The character's name and circumstances are so similar to mine that the name Sadie hurts my feelings, as I view sadists (no offense to people actually named Sadie) to be the worst people on the planet.
No inference had better be drawn that people diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome secretly want to be harmed or tortured by sadists (as I was).

Can't wait for this one. Thanks for bringing our attention towards it! Hopefully, it'll show worldwide and not just locally (NY theatres, for example) like some low-budget indie films.

This guy is a thin, male Afro-American version of myself. This is wonderful. I can't wait until it comes out. :)
