Another one of your false assumptions. I've known this relative for over 20 years. I know her very well. Thinking before typing is always a good thing. Anyway, I'm done with you now. Goodbye.
Oh false assumptions. You mean like "your friends weren't diagnosed by doctors and probably aren't even autistic"? Like that kind of false assumption?
And, by the way, knowing someone a long time and knowing them well are two completely different things. After 20 years if you and your relative don't have a bond of love, you probably don't have what anyone would call a deep relationship.
@nonyanb09 Such delusion of grandiose, your not clever. You jab, "Thinking before typing is always a good thing", as if you exemplify it in any manner. Your bold statement of autistics being incapable of love, is a statement of self-evident ignorance. Have you heard of the term "spectrum"? Do you know how it applies in this circumstance? You showed no solid logic, you said nothing worth refuting. Daily humor comes about in the strangest ways, lol.
I personally know someone who is autistic; it is impossible for autistic people to feel human emotion. Autistic people cannot love anyone but themselves. Period.
@madwoodpecker They don't understand love to begin with, they just think they do. Autistic people cannot feel love. They are simply not born with that capability.
@madwoodpecker You resort to personal attacks because you are incapable of refuting my logic. I am therefore done with your ignorance. The people you know who you believe are autistic are very likely just people who want to gain attention and not true autistics. The autistic person I know is related to me, has been diagnosed with autism by a doctor, and has also qualified for state-sponsored programs and help based on her very real disability.
You have brought nothing but a bunch of tired, ignorant cliches about autism that have been discounted for decades by the entire medical industry. It would be just plain said if the misinformation you were spewing weren't so horribly offensive.
And yet, based on nothing but these disproven and outdated notions you purport that the hundreds of thousands of autistics who are married, who are dating, who are raising children are all wrong? They don't know as...
...as much about how they feel as you magically do. The doctors and researchers who have spent decades working with more than just one autistic don;t understand the condition as well as you do. You even purport to know more about what they mean by "love" than they do. Where do you get off claiming that? Or claiming to know what I mean when I say it? Or claiming to know the medical histories of literally hundreds of autistic friends of mine?
April is Autism Awareness Month, Why don't you take it as an opportunity to educate yourself about your relative's actual condition instead of what you imagine she is dealing with in your own head.
Either way, take your ignorance and your bigotry and find someone else's page to troll.
Autistic people lack empathy for others, are incapable of being in love romantically, and are completely incapable of loving another person. You must be able to understand the other person and feel empathy for them emotionally before you can claim that you love them. When an autistic person claims they love someone, the meaning of this love is extremely different from when you and I say we love someone. It is a shallow, hollow statement with no depth.
@armyjess1981 Sorry I have not been checking the youtube comments sections for a while: yes, the DVD is available. Vanguard Cinema released it last November. There is a special this month at ChipChair's site to get a free print of one of the paintings from the movie with your copy of the DVD.
Distro will probably depend a little bit on how the audiences react to the current crop of aspie movies. The distro houses stuck their toe in the water with the ones that have recognizable names. We'll see how they feel about that toe in a few months. (And rightfully so, more people will turn out to see something with Rose Byrne or Phil Hoffman than two unknowns. Here's hoping it gives them an introduction to the area, and they are thirsty to learn more.)
Yes, Mayer. Both films were in the same festival & we met there.
There are 2 more aspie-related films coming this year. When I wrote IYC in 03 and tried to raise money for it in 05, no one knew what I was talking about. We made our movie for almost nothing, with many people working for free.
Max fared a little better in 06 & 07, but the budget was still tiny and the stars worked at discount.
Now it seems like AS is everywhere. Which is good but still shocking to see all of a sudden.
Yeah, I saw Adam a few days ago. I thought it was VERY good. Here in Ireland however it was only playing in ONE CINEMA in the entire country! It's brilliant to have a movie to raise awareness about Aspergers' Syndrome but it sucks if it has such a limited release.
I'd quite like to see this too so I'd certainly hope it gets an international release. I have Aspergers & I love movies, so it's great to see it start getting addressed in cinema.
Max and I talked this when we were in the same festival this spring. Despite the overlap in plot, they are completely different in tone.
In IYC the character is undiagnosed and cannot explain his peculiarities; it covers darker emotional terrain. In "Adam" the character is fully aware of his condition, and the movie is much sweeter -- a good date movie. Our is probably better suited for watching after a bad break-up.
Also, vastly different budgets, shooting styles and writing style.

No, but it does need facts to back it up. More than just your poorly formed impressions of someone you don't seem to know very well.

Type "If You Could Say It In Words" into Facebook and "Like" it.
Judging by the posts, it seems they are approaching a possible release. They have been working on releasing it now for two years I think.

Well best of luck with this movie man. How is it looking on a distribution front because I would hope I can see it in Ireland. :)
