My reaction: The problem is that in a romantic movie, there has to be conflict. In this movie, the only available conflict within the plot constraints was Asperger's. So, they had to make the AS pretty severe.
Other than that, when I heard the quote "You can say Autistic. I already know," I thought it would be my favorite quote from the movie, UNTILLLLL....
"I'm an excellent listener."
Sorry guys, but that was DAMN funny. I've had people call me "rain man" for saying "definitely, definitely" while obsessing, to be fair. (I think I was talking about food. Playing the odds, even if I don't remember, I was probably talking about food.)
.........I think of myself and some weird, almost "savant", abilities I have, regarding seeing sounds and hearing light........
I thought that only happens when you drop Acid man......
No, it happens with pot, too.
