So, wait, the OP is suggesting that Zuckerberg is intellectually gifted and has aspergers and he's showing typical Aspergian behavior, and then everyone in this thread is railing against him (i.e., aspies railing against typical aspie behavior)?

The irony is funny.

While I agree that his approach wasn't the smoothest nor best, there was something about the directness and aggressiveness that I found pretty appealing.

While this kid had all the answers on lock these prissy b*****s were passing rude notes. This describes my entire stay in public school. F-ing neuros...

I'm not sure if it was intended by OP as the point of this thread, but it appears that that kid plays a good us. I hate Mark Fuckerdouche, but that actor kid's a hell of a talent!

He doesn't seem to be as Aspergian in real life as he's portrayed in the movie.

Gosh, why isn't this link working???

His HFA-esque social awkwardness seems fairly evident in this video, however.

You make a good point which was my intention with this post.

I have NO IDEA whether Mark Zuckerberg is or is not an Aspie.

What I DO know is that the character portraying him in this movie is someone that I can identify with very, very closely.
- In fact he appears to be a text book case of high functioning Autistic at the intellectually gifted/genius end of the spectrum

I like this movie. I have seen it twice.
According to everything I have read, the character traits for Marc Zuckerberg and Sean Parker were greatly exaggerated. It is a movie not a documentary, they had to spice it up a lot.
