Adam: Asperger's movie coming to cinemas 01:16am on 22 Jun 2009 How can anyone, even in the shallowness of Hollywood think that aspergers syndrome is entertainment.

People who cannot fully experience relationships because they are not built that way are not fodder for the film industry. No doubt the film will be 'happy ever after'.

Let someone make a movie about whatit is really like facing discrimination in every aspect of daily life because you are not 'normal' or you legs or arms don't work. No it wont happen because stereotypes and market forces are what life is about and god help anyone that is the 'subject' of that attention.
