Mary and Max

[Civet]

This is a claymation animation about a penpal friendship between a "misfit" girl from Australia and a man with Asperger's from NYC. It follows their relationship for more than 20 years as the girl grows up and the man grows old. It's both funny and very sad. I think it also offers a good look at Asperger's that would be very easy to understand for most people.

It sounds interesting, Civet.

It was quite good. It's on Netflix streaming, for those who have that service. The director/animator has also made an animation about a man with tourette's that I will probably watch soon, too.

[Aspen]

I don't have Netflix, though.

Hm, maybe you can find it to download somewhere? I can try to find a torrent to link you to if you like.
