that's not real asperger's.

Probably my least favorite name next to Deborah.

Awwwwww.....sweet......

[Gamblour.]

that's not real asperger's.

Yeah, yeesh. I've never met anyone with Asperger's where I had to restructure a statement into a question in order for them to understand. He may not be "Forrest Gump, y'know" but I think they can function a little more readily than that. Spielberg has Asperger's (just throwing that out there).

I wanted to say something like that to.  My least favorite next to Rick.  But I have a good friend named Adam so I didn't say it.

People with Asperger's can be less functional than this guy. 
This movie clearly doesn't understand asperger's though.

[Neil]

all this from a 2:30 clip, or is there more, "this movie clearly doesn't undersand asperger's?"

just curious?

[pete]

yes, unless the rest of the movie is 100 minutes where the guy doesn't act like that at all.  It gives off the impression of superficiality and exploiting a pretty common syndrome as a crutch or a gimmick or an excuse for what seems like ordinary movie quirks.
