Since my daughter, Katie, has Aspergers syndrome I'll be looking for how the character is portrayed. Characters with Aspergers are being written more into tv and film, i.e. a character on Boston Legal, or Napoleon Dynamite (probably). Sometimes characters with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) can seem like Aspergers. This may be highlighted by the fact that OCD can usually be found in people with Aspergers, but not the other way around. The one constant about folks with Aspergers (and way more men than women have AS) is that social skills are lacking. Ofter, social skills make no sense to them and they must learn appropriate behaviors and responses. Their world is black and white. I saw some of this in the trailer so I'm holding out hope for a cute, understanding movie. This looks interesting and I liked the trailer.
