Has anyone seen the new movie "Adam"? It's about a 29-year-old man with Asperger's, who is well aware that he has it. I thought it was a pretty good interpretation of people with Aspie's. It's hard to tell, because everyone is different. I, myself had only a few things in common with him.
What is your take on the movie?
Do you have a lot in common with Adam?
Could you go out on your own like he did in the end, or do you depend on people too much. (Hey, no judgement, I'm 24 and I still live with my family)

I think you mean Mozart and the Whale. But yeah, I agree with the rest of this post.

Also, OP, Adam is hardly new. It came out last year.
