Billy the Kid Documentary De-labels Asperger's
The film runs through January 17 at SIFF Cinema, and at its heart is a statement that might read something like this, from the blog Asperger Square 8:
The idea of supporting people rather than trying to force them into those behaviors the majority can more comfortably tolerate, the correctness of this seems so very self-evident, I often forget what a radical concept it is, how much we are sometimes hated for expressing it.As evidence of that last part, there's the clear revulsion in a Variety review of Billy the Kid, which ends in hysterics:
The only responsible note in "Billy the Kid" is that when Billy checks out multiple books on serial killers from his school library, someone has the sense to make an issue of it.
