 |
|
So yeah, I've been watching a few films and I just realized some people with Aspergers.
Adam - Perfect film with a man with Asperger's.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - Oskar having Aspergers.
Star Trek - Spock.
Mr. Bean - Mr. Bean.
A Beautiful Mind - John Nash probably has Asperger's...
Do you know anybody else with Asperger's in films, TV Show's or any other type of literature?

There is a long thread already about fictional characters with aspergers.

I believe Adam is a film about a guy with AS, the boy in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is described as an aspie, Spock is a Vulcan, and John Nash is a paranoid Schizophrenic (probably with autism). In other cases, I think writers write these characters without knowing their 'label'/'condition'.
And Edward Scissorhands was constructed by Vincent Price and left alone for years, so no normality there which he could have learned, NT or otherwise. I think Grissom from CSI is a possible aspie, as is Amelie, Robert Langden, and Larry David's portrayal of himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Abed Nadir from the show community. Early on Jeff makes a snide remark that has aspergers. Abed is based off the producer of the show who is pretty sure he has autism

Napolean Dynamite seemed to have it.
I'm thinking Zooey Deschanel playing Alma on The Happening may have had it and perhaps the little girl Jess but I may be mistaken, I haven't seen that movie for a long time.
Mark Zuckerberg's character on The Social Network may have had it. |

Not only does Jeff make a remark in the pilot episode....but later on, in season 3 Abed says he may have a developmental disorder and in the season's 3 christmas episode he raps with Troy and one of his lines is "on the spectrum, none of your business". So pretty much.

Yeah I caught that line too,  It's been pretty heavily implied the whole way through though there was a momentary nod to PDNOS when Abed was called 'Abed the undiagnosable' in the D&D episode. It was interesting to see he was the only 'sane' one when they filled out those psych evaluations for Britta though. |

| I think Dr. Manhattan (Watchmen) represents an aspie mind on a lot of levels. |

| I just wanted to say that I am sure that Dr Dylan Keogh in Casualty has AS. But now, we'll never know, because he has just finished his stint on the show. If anyone could have peiced all the bits of Casualty action involving his character together, you would see what I mean. But now that he's off the show, there won't be a diagnosis. Shame. |
