Completely out of boredom, I watched a movie called Adam, which is about a girl getting into a relationship with a guy who has Asperger's. It was awful. She had absolutely no reason to be dating him. She was embarrassed of him when he met her friends, constantly at odds with him when they were alone, and she was always trying to get him to stop talking. It was as if she was dating him because it would be politically incorrect to not do so. I see what they were trying to do with the film, but they did the exact opposite. They made people with Asperger's out to be completely unlovable fucktards (which of course they are).
