I just watched this movie... and I can't help but think the main character might be AS...

Maybe... she at least is pretty strange socially... and probably relatable to many of the animal lovers here...

Anyone else see this movie? Thoughts?

Watched it today. And yes, very Aspie behaviour from the main character (some of the behaviour included preferring non-judgmental animals to humans, getting obsessed about a subject and wanting to know everything about it to the exclusion of everything else, striking up friendships based on interests, feeling deeply hurt and let down when said friends do stuff inconsistent with what they promised etc).
