I am taking a break from a brain-intensive project I am doing for work. Thought during my break I'd post some intermission videos (videos you can come back and enjoy as you have the time while I am taking a web and phone communication hiatus).
The video clips here (all of varying lengths) are all related to the following theme: TV and Movie Characters Who Could Just Be on the Autism Spectrum ;-)...
Dwight Schrute
Sheldon
Remy
Spike
Snape or Luna??
Gregory House

Monk
Max
Napoleon Dynamite
Joon
Arnie
(I've never seen this movie...but this video made me cry)
Forrest Gump
Juno
Gilligan
Jerry Espenson

This was a diverse group of clips - it was funny trying to figure out why you had picked each one ---
xxo
Well, I didn't contribute to the list of characters. I took the list from the discussion I linked, and then I just found whatever videos I could on YouTube that focused on the particular characters. That's why one of Snape's clips is more of someone's tribute to him rather than a clip per se...I couldn't find anything better on YouTube.
One thing I worried about when I posted the clips is that I didn't want to play up any stereotypes or depicit the spectrum as full of unlovable people (of course, I actually adore all these characters for the most part, but I suppose some of them are written to be the disturbing or annoying characters). Obviously I think quite the opposite.
I was hoping the variety of characters would help make the exagerations less intense. But I still love Dwight even when he is being a total a*hole.
Right now I am on a "Big Bang Theory" kick. I really get Sheldon. He's so different than me in so many ways, but man, I *get* him.
Oh, and that Jerry, I want to kiss him...what a lovable scene that was!
