Hugh dancy= best actor ever

[chetdog]

never too early to booze it up

[TheActingAddict]

@StrangerSkies I understand now. Sorry for my incorrect statement.

[StrangerSkies]

@TheActingAddict Asperger's is not a form of ADHD. It's on the autism spectrum. Source: I'm a behavioral therapist who works with autism.

if Hugh Dancy can portray a man with Asperger's then he's a very talented man

[Kangakool]

Adam has many similarities to my brother who also has Asperger's. He misses a LOT, but when he's comfortable, he can be sincerely funny.

nice pull

@FTWinnable Thats becasue people with Aspergers have a hard time making eye contact I have the same problem.

[TheActingAddict]

@FTWinnable he has aspergers diease in this movie. Its a disease where they have trouble with social life and hate making eye contact. Its a form of ADHD. But its way different. Im not being mean by telling you this. I'm just trying to help you uderstand this movie. So please don't get mad.

This looks like a gr8 film, it definatly exagerates with the asbergers though

Yeah, laughing usually doesn't feel organic for me, or when it is the way I laugh puts some people off. There's so many things I relate to in that scene... and putting myself in his mind the thought immediately comes up, "It's like she expects me to say something, but I'm not really sure what that is", and then he's trying to place why she asks about him apologizing - after all, he wants to know the reasoning to make sense of it and to know for next time.
