| Micheal Myers comes off as aspie to me, esp in the first movie when they showed him as a kid in the mental hospital. |

Max is an aspie, and I just absolutely love his character. Have a few quid to spare, buy it in HMV, excellent film. |
It's a great film, I've found it incredibly moving. |

Main character in "Pi" shows some Aspie traits, though it seems more to lean towards a physical brain disorder in the end.
Also, the main character in "Paper Heart," perhaps?

Definitely Lisbeth Salander from "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo".
Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter.

| Luna is considered legitimately crazy. I fancy her, though. |

"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am..."
I don't know that I would call Luna crazy, per se. Eccentric, yes, but she has a good head on her shoulders and got into Ravenclaw, which is the house for the really smart kids, and grows up to be the magical equivalent of an environmentalist.

Kaspar in The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, by Werner Herzog.
He´s definately more of a LFA, but I connected to his way of reasoning. |

In real life, people who knew Kaspar Hauser were convinced he was nothing but a liar and a con man who had concocted his whole story about a strange man raising him in seclusion, then seeking to murder him. Most modern day psychologists also have come to the same conclusion. And his fatal wounds may have been self-inflicted - by which he might have accidentally stabbed himself too deep while trying to create physical evidence to back up his story.

You´re absoulutely right. Herzog took lots of liberties in his portrayal of Kaspar. One might say it´s a bad habit of Herzog´s to change facts in order to make a story more interesting. Those of his documentaries I´ve seen were full of obvious falsehoods, to the extent that I started wondering if the whole thing wasn´t just made up (especially Grizzly Man).
But what I was getting at was that in Herzog´s portrayal of Kaspar Hauser I think he comes of as autistic. Do you agree? |

I've actually never seen the movie, but I know a little about Hauser; and I know that many people have perceived him to be.
I also admit, I like Herzog quite a bit, too (even if he does play with the truth from time to time). I remember one time while giving an outdoor interview in England, someone shot him below the belt. He wanted the interview to go on, explaining that it had just been a small small caliber bullet. I gotta figure, either this guy is also an Aspie, or he's the most German guy in the world (which I can say, as my family is very German)!

when i first saw that movie when it came out in '85, i saw george mcfly up on the screen and immediately thought, "THAT'S ME!" i was in the army at the time, and at my duty station i was ribbed about that character, with other GIs asking me "when did you find the time to act in that movie?" or calling me george mcfly. this ribbing was even worse than when "kiss of the spider woman" came out. |

I'm afraid I've never seen Kiss Of The Spider Woman. That has an Aspie-ish character in it?

yes, AFAIC, one who was high-functioning and in active denial of his inner dweeb. it also had a gay character who "turns" the aspie character. |
