I'm a recently diagnosed Aspie (in fact today marks one month since diagnosis).  The trailers for the film "Adam" (played by Hugh Dancy) were played in cinemas regularly for about 2 months prior to the film's release.  The trailers kind of put me on "alert", and finally seeing the film convinced me I was Aspie.  Like I say, since then I've been in touch with various groups, the NAS.org.uk, read all the major books (have read Tony Attwood's "Complete Guide to Asperger's ... " / just reading "Pretending to be Normal" - Lianne Halliday - a book featured in "Adam").

So, for me, I have a lot for which to thank the makers of the film "Adam" - without that film I don't think I'd have found this group, met an online Aspie friend, been diagnosed, etc.

I think the character "Adam" is very well played by Hugh Dancy, though Adam's pretty much got all the major Aspie characteristics all in one go.  I have some of those traits, but not all.  Of the profiles I've read of those who regularly contribute to this group, we all seem to have some symptoms, but not all of those in "Adam".  But generally, a very good film, and one - for obvious reasons - that I'll buy when it's released on DVD.
