Has anyone seen Falling Down the movie? I made a point of watching it as i remember seeing some of it a few years ago and i can see why it was of interest to me....
Ever get sick of/or think your being stared at in traffic jams?
Ever get sick and tired of not being able to just mind your own business?
Ever get sick of not being able to walk where you want to walk?
Ever get sick of realy stupid fast food vendor serving times?
Or how about not being able get some change in a shop?
Do these "trivial" things make your skin crawl????

Then this is the movie for you.......
(Main charecter seems to have slight AS):lol:

Douglas does his engineer-in-despair act well

I've seen it and yes those things all bother me a great deal but aside from shouting matches with people and being asked to leave I never cracked up that bad and hopefully never will

I saw the movie a few years ago. Michael Douglas did a really good job in that one.

Maybe the lead character had AS traits. He definitely had an anger management problem. I mean, I can easily sympathize with feeling the way he felt, though I hardly ever act out in public in that manner, nor do I see myself reaching the point of no return as he had. If I did, I'd seek help, not act out in that kind of way. I can understand why someone might get that way, though.
