You might add to your list a novel written from the perspective of an autistic child, ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime’.

wasn’t the point of Juno that you shouldn’t get an abortion if your underage and pregnant, you should find a really beautiful rich lady like Jennifer Garner and give her your baby and not have any lasting scars or emotional angst, just get back together with your adorable if feckless boyfriend and go back to being a total wise-ass with no worries whatsoever and really understanding parents?

i felt as if james dobson was seriously involved in that movie.

also, i cried at the end, despite the icky music.

people are hard to understand.

sorry i suck at hot-linking, but this by Tim Page on Asperger’s was quite interesting. .

LOL re: National treasure= media equivalent of Ambien.

SHOULD your doctor be suspicious?

Since we’re talking Britain and autism, might as well mention Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet.

The opera: The man who mistook his wife for a hat, maybe? Where music and neurology once met.

You gotta be kidding. I’ll take the Freemason adventuring of National Treasure over maudlin Juno any day of the week. The last song in Juno almost sent me back to the psych ward.

â€œThe pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can’t, you forgive me?
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu duâ€

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Nico responds: haha! This is funny. That’s totally how that song went. Point taken.

Apparently Glenn Gould had Asperger that is a sort of autism. As monads (cf. Leibniz, never thought I would write cf Leibniz in a commentary…) we are all autistic, in some level.

“My doctor is suspicious of me, so, I am attempting to achieve international travel without Ambien; perhaps National Treasure is meant to be the multimedia equivalent?”

I can only assume you hadn’t seen the preview for that movie, or you would have avoided it. Every time I saw it in the theater my friends and I would guffaw at the ridiculousness of the “plot.”

You should check out Bistroteque while you are there. David, Jackie and I went while were on tour and had a great time.
