I recently went to see "Adam" on the big screen. It is a cinematic depiction of an adult male, in his late 20s, facing the world while dealing with Asperger's Syndrome. The movie follows the character through various relationships, jobs, and individual thoughts.
Adam, the main character, is abruptly faced with making many decisions on his own, with little guidance. He meets a girl that just moved into his building and their relationship develops. Without giving anything away, I will say that the movie caused me to spend time thinking about many of the children and families that I work with. The movie was a great representation of how successful individuals with the diagnosis of Asperger's can and do become in our society.
The movie was heart warming yet realistic. It is a must see for anyone, but especially for families that may be directly impacted by autism or Asperger's syndrome.
