As a Special Ed Teacher of 30 years, I assess Robert Howard as having Aspergers Syndrome, a subtype of Autism, because of his Intelligence and Socially isolating & awkward personality. His articulating, storytelling & typing skills, are not complimentary to Autism, where it is difficult to speak and write fluently. Whereas his clumsy, redundant, loud & angry spurts are known in Aspergers. This movie is exceptional and a Must See, a true story, realistic and heart breaking.
