Autistic characters.

Adam, a lonely man with Asperger's Syndrome, develops a relationship with his upstairs neighbor, Beth.




This looks cool. I have Asperger's traits, but can not remember things as well as this guy can! Awesome!

A documentary featuring 5 kids on the autistic spectrum who try to put on a musical.



From left to right: Neal (severe autism, can not speak), Adam (autism), Lexi (autism), Henry (high-functioning kid with Asperger's), Wyatt (autism, but very high functioning).

I liked Henry the most, because, like me, he loves dinosaurs and he hates loud noises. :)

Backstreet Dreams is the story of a man, who has a disturbed child. He and his wife take their son to a clinic, where he is diagnosed by a talented psychologist (Stevie), as being autistic. After catching his unfaithful wife with another man, Dean tells Lucy to leave, and is faced with the task of raising Shane on his own. Stevie believes that she can improve Shane's condition, going back to Dean's apartment and later convincing him that he can provide a better world for his son. Angelo, who lives in the same apartment building and is like a father to Dean, urges on the relationship, sensing that Stevie is luring Dean away from backstreet dealings, and giving him courage to face life in a positive way. Together, they build a foundation for a better life outside of the violence and danger of the backstreets where they live.


Shane (the little boy in the middle of the poster)

Ben (Asperger's).

Cody O'Connor (the little girl).

Elvis plays a physician who runs a medical clinic in a poor neighborhood. Three nuns are sent to assist Elvis in his medical practice. A parent brings her girl to the clinic for an evaluation and treatment. The girl is diagnosed as having autism because she rocks, does not want to be held, and does not respond to sounds. Elvis treats the girl, and she begins to break out of her autism.

Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds. An unsub in "Broken Mirror" (Season 1, Episode 5) noted Dr. Reid's "autistic tendencies" and Matthew Gray Gubler stated in an interview in the show's second season "[Reid]'s an eccentric genius, with hints of schizophrenia and minor autism, Asperger's Syndrome. Reid is 24, 25 years old with three PH.D.s and one can't usually achieve that without some form of autism."



My fave Aspie of all time! I am in love with Reid!

Kazan (guy on the right).

Sally Goodson has been raising her autistic son David alone since her husband left many years ago. Now a social worker discovers that Sally has been dodging 'The System' to keep her son with her, instead of putting him in an institution. Each feels they know what's best for David. But their opinions are not the same. Sally's developing relationship with John Nils is caught in the middle.

Dr. Reineger is a child neuro-psychologist who has become confident that the twin Anna has a rare form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome, rendering her unable to cope with reality. As for her blind sister, Sarah, the Doctor cannot say for sure why her visions map so closely to Anna's. At home, their father leaves the family. To escape the pain, the girls sink deeper and deeper into their imaginations. When a major earthquake takes their mother's life, Reineger is left with helping the now-orphaned twins cope, while at the same time dealing with his own struggle concerning the girls' prophetic visions. The girls escape the institution. The subsequent search party can't track them. Have they indeed transcended the physical realm?


Anna.

(yes, I think this movie looks horrible).

The film is based on Clyde Edgerton's highly acclaimed novel. When guitar-playing car thief Wesley Benfield meets Vernon, who is an autistic savant with rocking piano skills, they will transform to the Killer Diller Blues Band.

Child prodigy, Fred Tate, displays quite a few Asperger's traits in this movie.

Stephen (left) and Philip.



This is part 1 of the movie. Simply type in "miracle run part 1" on youtube to watch the rest.

Donald Morton and Isabelle Sorenson (Asperger's).

Rizwan Khan, a Muslim from the Borivali section of Mumbai, suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a form of high-functioning autism that complicates socialization. The adult Rizwan marries a Hindu single mother, Mandira, in San Francisco. After 9/11, Rizwan is detained by authorities at LAX who mistake his disability for suspicious behavior.

Rizwan, Asperger's.

Apparently Daniel in this movie has Asperger's.

Max Braverman (Asperger's).



I act like Max a lot, but was worse as a kid. Apparently I don't have Asperger's, just poor social skills, because apparently I would have been diagnosed already. Hmmm. Also into bugs, dinosaurs and specialized interests. Oh well. They just say "Asperger's traits".

Raymond Babbitt.

However he's teased and abused by the kids of the neighborhood and his grandpa. When several people around Adam start to die, his parents start to suspect Adam- is he just pretending to be disabled?
