Recently, one of our Aspie Insiders, Miles, had first hand experience with the film, Adam, in which a young man with Asperger's syndrome becomes romantically involved with an outgoing neighbor who approaches the relationship with relative caution. The film has had a positive reception from critics and stands up as a romantic comedy that touches on the challenges that Asperger's syndrome can bring to any relationship. For its commentary on the interaction between Asperger's syndrome and romantic relationships, however, it is a rare gem.

Miles, an Aspie Insider and blog contributor watched the film twice.... but he did not expect to do so.
The first go around with the film was hard and uncomfortable... so, in an effort to understnd why it was so emotionally challenging, he watched it a second time and afterwords, understood what 5 things about the film were bothering him and has shared them with us!
