Sharing a Research Source

Adam. Dir. Max Mayer. Perf. Hugh Dancey and Rose Byrne. Fox Searchlight Pictures, 2009. DVD.

This source is my most important source. It will be the main focus of my research paper. I will be comparing the portrayal of Asperger Syndrome in film to the actual condition. I will be looking to see if there was an accurate portrayal of  Asperger's.

My Thesis Statement

     In Max Mayer's Adam, there is a clear portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome seen in the main character Adam Raki. There is insight to what people with this syndrome have to face. Although there is a love story seen in the film, it doesn't fully show the social awkwardness people with Asperger's Syndrome face.

I have not changed the focus of my topic. I will be focusing on the topic Asperger's Syndrome. I will base my paper on a film called Adam. In the film the main character suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. In my paper I will be comparing the Hollywood Portrayal of this syndrom to the actual characteristics of it.
