yourpontmercyfriend:

man going through movies on demand yesterday I saw this one and it was like “two people with asperger’s syndrome fall in love- BUT WILL THEIR RELATIONSHIP WORK DESPITE THEIR DYSFUNCTIONAL EMOTIONS????”

bruh why

why did you go out and make a movie about 2 aspergers people

if you were gonna do that

2 autistic or aspergers people together does not mean prepare for trouble make it double like tbh I think I would probably have a more harmonious relationship dating a fellow autie or aspergers person than an allistic person and this whole thing is making me mad a day later goddamn it

If it’s the movie I’m thinking of, they made it that way because it was based on two real-life people and that’s what their actual relationship went like, more or less.  (In fact, the real-life version was much more long and involved and difficult.)  I used to know one of the people the movie was based on.  When a movie is based on real people, you can’t really blame it for trying to follow how their life works at least somewhat.  (It wasn’t an exact replica of their relationship but it got the gist of it.)  According to the guy in real life, the actress in the movie captured his wife as a young woman perfectly.  Some autistic people have a lot of emotional dysfunction, it comes from higher abuse rates growing up among other things, and she had a really really horrible abuse and neglect history that left her with a huge amount of emotional issues and severe PTSD.
