I'm told that the real Zuckerberg is acts at least as ASD as Eisenberg portrayed him. The character reminded me a little of my brother, a little of myself. For that reason the film character draws more sympathy from me than he probably does from most. <br /><br />I think my brother was more Aspergian than I. If you don't mind my asking, is one of your sons more intensely Aspergian? Or do they simply have very different ways of expressing their autisitic tendencies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873479349447813718.post-51898965996363380932010-10-21T21:04:50.654-07:002010-10-21T21:04:50.654-07:00Sounds good!

I hope to have kids sometime, and they could very likely by Aspies, so I enjoy reading how parents are handling certain things with their children. I think this is a great way to have a supportive network of others in the same situations (or similar anyways).ntwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095877887662910478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873479349447813718.post-88777288250596669302010-10-21T07:12:44.497-07:002010-10-21T07:12:44.497-07:00Thanks again NTWife!

I will be checking you out and following! Anxious to see what life is like married to an Aspie. Your husband sounds a lot like my son. Looking for happiness in all the wrong places. I hope we can work on that before he gets out of my house. My goal is to prepare him for life beyond high school.Karen Wesley Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337598132381046024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873479349447813718.post-84349216028485341352010-10-20T20:59:56.093-07:002010-10-20T20:59:56.093-07:00Thanks for this post!

I had originally seen that Mark Zuckerberg wasn't backing the movie and didn't share his life story for these people to base the movie around, and I had planned on not going to see it...however, with my husband's recent diagnosis, I'm looking for anything to learn from, so I am eager to see this now...so thanks for the post about "The Social Network"!<br /><br />Secondly, I, too, can understand what you mean about the happiness and "things". My husband has had a very abusive life growing up, was cheated on by his ex, and we haven't had the most healthy marriage either. With that being said, he's been depressed alot, and he's explained his impulsive spending and desires for the latest and greatest of electronics and other hobby things, by stating that his life is miserable and the only happiness he gets is from buying things he likes. I can understand to a degree, but I hope that we can get him to a healthier level where he feels more like life makes him happy than purchasing things.<br /><br />I hope for the same with you. BTW, found you on the Autism Blog Directory tonight and began following. I'm new to this over at www.ntwifeaspielife.blogspot.com. Would love to see you there! Hopefully my posts can provide you some insight as well.ntwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095877887662910478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873479349447813718.post-56799790782954055422010-10-19T19:13:42.055-07:002010-10-19T19:13:42.055-07:00Haha, the second I read the hype about this movie ...Haha, the second I read the hype about this movie I thought "duh, this guy has apsergers, how come no one is saying so?" I am still not sure about the last part, but at least I am not alone thinking the first part!<br /><br />Ahhh, I feel you on the worry about your son and his future happiness. My son is only 4, but he sounds quite like your son when it comes to his interests... never satisfied for more than a moment! elliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
